Thanks. Why are people reporting 4.5 hours with some configurations?

Well, it depends more on the rest of the configuration, its not the same use high gain with 70 volume under Android than high with 35 under Mango OS... There is so much different combinations to analyse... I have better battery stats Ander Android than Mango and its supposed that Mango deletes all the things that makes Android more hungry in terms of battery but using Fidelizer Advanced rom, Android could be even better than Mango in terms of battery.

8 hours in any case its something like 12,5% per hour. You don't use always the 100% of the battery if you don't want to kill the battery, so, taking this into account, he will use the 90% of the battery which is the 11,25% of battery per hour. I don't know if the people is lying or something like that but I NEVER had this stats, never ever. 18/20% per hour its the normal for me which is like 5 hours of use. For me its enough as I always have a charger and I only listen going to my job or at the office so its not a problem but again, I can't believe the people who claims 8 hours of battery, even if you use battery saver option under Android...

but as it comes to 8 hours, I at most 6.5 hours.

What did the DX200 give? I've had one but can't remember.

 

[lantian]

Can not say. Using mango mode only here, perhaps that makes a difference. This is the average when listening to 24/96 or dsd files mainly with one redbook flac album in between. Baiscly always can listen to 6 albums till i get to around 35%

 

[iMongui]

DSD and 24/96 files under Mango OS with high gain and you get 8 hours? God, your unit its breaking all the physics laws, I can't believe, sorry

Unless DSD512, there is no way to go as low as 4.5 hours

There is one - defective battery!

 

[flarex3]

It lasts 3-5 hours depending on usage. And most of my music 16/44.1, I usually listen to my audio files instead of streaming. I don't use bluetooth and other battery consuming elements. So some people may get even less battery life if their usage is more intense and if they play high sample rate/ DSD stuff.

 

[Whitigir]

I never had my Dx220 and Amp8 to last 3-5 hours with just stored local lossless and high-res files in mango mode....never!!

If the battery is bad, just ask for a replacement. It is plug and play

Thanks. Why are people reporting 4.5 hours with some configurations?

Firmware: Current
ROM: Stock or Lurkers
Source: Amazon Music. HD and Ultra HD tracks downloaded for local (offline playback)
IEM: Ultimate Ears Live (10ohm) unbalanced
Screen: 720p and off for the testing i did.

Amp1mk2: Gain: Low Runtime: 2 hr 40 minutes
Amp9: Gain: High Runtime 4 hr 10 minutes

i've ran battery to 0 and charged to 100 percent a few times. the runtime is consistent for me and my testing.
I am not the original owner so I cannot speak for how the battery was cared for by previous owner.

4 hr 10 min with AMP 9 is absurdly low, no? I used to get around 9 hours with AMP 9 on high gain, around volume 90 on android, 1080p screen/off.

It lasts only for that long when playing 16/44.1 in Mango Player. The battery never lasts more than 5 hours and my units is just one months old. So over the time the batter will even further decline.
Sorry but many of your sayings about DX220 are overly optimistic and don't reflect the actual user experince. Either you have a magical DX220 which performs much better than the other units or you're not telling the truth for some reasons.

Frankly i think either number is absurdly low. I have yet to reach out to iBasso for their $0.02 .

 

[Whitigir]

Yeah, may be your unit only last 3-5 hours and that make the thousand units of dx220 out there to accept and follow that as a fact.

That sounds pretty magical to me

I don’t doubt your claim, and I am saying all along that there may be something wrong with your unit. But do what you will...I am not the one who is experiencing the negativities. I enjoy my dx228ex a lot

I can say for certain that if your battery last 4 hours, it is time for a new battery. However, you can choose to stay with it and claim that all DX220 can only last that much, it is just fine

9 hours? That is impossible !
It lasted 9 hours when playing music for 9 hours continuously ?
