New Head-Fier
Pure Music mode is a joke. If it rebooted into a cleaner Android environment without some of the extra processes, it might have some minor worth, but as it is, all it seems to do is remove some of the shell and kill some of the other processes. In my usage, it has shown negligible battery usage difference, which is the only potential value I can see from it.
I'm actually quite disappointed with my AP200. Screen calibration is poor (the right hand side is off by a good few millimetres, making any sort of text entry painful). The Hidisz/Hiby app is of no use to me, as activating the equaliser introduces noticeable distortion, unless the gain is lowered significantly, and then it's impossible to get to what I consider a decent listening volume (this was detailed by another user earlier in this thread). I've settled on Neutron, as it copes with my files, and has a lot of flexibility in the equaliser. The screen randomly turns itself back on after I've turned it off. Standby battery drain seems excessive (dead flat in two days of not being used, with wifi/bluetooth/screen off). It has an annoying delay in cutting the audio in or out, so that when I start playing a track, the sound comes in a second or two later, missing the start of the track. Stopping playback does the same in reverse, it takes a second or two to actually stop the track, and one channel stops before the other does. The screen is impossible to see outside, even standing in the shade.
The actual sound quality, when used with my ATH-M50x or Sennheiser HD 380 pro, is quite good, but the product is still very much at what I would consider a pre-release quality level.
