The best thing is that Cowon has overcome the bass roll-off with low impedance headphones older models had. If they ever add a more usable scaling for quiet listening, I'll quite likely buy it again. Though, I highly doubt that to be honest (unless a RockBox port will be possible one day - the cheap Sansa Clip Zip also put out an abundant amount of voltage (read: too much for me) at the lowest volume setting, but RockBox was the cure for listening at lower levels and added a more usable scaling as well).
 

(measured with the Triple.Fi 10 as load)


Here are a few more loads with Plenue D if you're interested.

Oh, I already saw your RMAA measurements the day they came out, Nathan

. I always enjoy your reviews and measurements, as you record them with a super sensitive and accurate reference interface. Mine is just good for capturing the frequency response/source's FR deviation with multi-driver in-ears and then to calculate the output impedance, but for all other categories, it is not even good enough for an extremely rough idea of how a device performs in comparison to another.

I was about to ask the same. I still need to do a full test but I don't think mine last longer than 20-30 hrs either, listening to 320kbps MP3s stored on an external microSD card. :S
(I use an IEM and volume rarely goes above 20.)

I have the Plenue D for about 1.5 months now. I'm happy with the sound but noticed that the battery should last longer given my listening habit (about 3-5 hours a week currently). I'm going to do a test in the next week or so, that should give an indication...

Listening to some trance on the Meelec Pinnacle 1. Not an efficient IEM but the D drives them with authority. Pleasantly surprised.

Sorry I didn't write clearly, since im02 is bright and treble-centric, could pairing with plenue D make the sound too bright?
Not at all.
