My phone is a distraction machine. Having dedicated devices allows me to focus better.

It's smaller than a phone.

It has a long battery life.

It's a proper high-res audio device. Much better audio quality than what you can get with bluetooth, a built-in headphone jack or most dongles. Even has a balanced output.

And finally, it's just more fun.

What do you use it with if not with headphone jack nor Bluetooth?

I do use the headphone jack. I was referring to a phone's built-in headphone jack in the above comment, as that was the point of comparison.
