For me, it's an electric toothbrush. It doesn't matter if you go with Sonicare or Oral-B, once you start using an electric toothbrush, regular toothbrushes don't ever feel like they clean your teeth properly. The smooth plaque-free top layer of your teeth that you can feel after using an electric toothbrush can't be replicated with a regular toothbrush.

A dedicated portable audio player with support for high-res files (that's NOT running Android).

You can't just doom scroll all day, no one can call you, you won't get any spam texts or emails on it. It's just you and your music.

If you can find anything which can play standard 16/48 FLAC files then that is all you need. https://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html

You probably want to pick something supported by the Rockbox firmware, in case the native firmware is so-so.

I've bought a Hiby R3 Pro II a while back and it's amazing. The build quality is top notch, the battery lasts for 20+ hours and it has basically everything one could need; USB-C, Bluetooth with Apt-X and LDAC, a good screen and a balanced output with plenty of power.

Even rudimentary support for Tidal and Qobuz. The only downside is that there's no storage built-in, but you can use microSD cards up to 2TB.

I regret giving away my iPod Touch to my sister. I wish I still had it so I can take it on walks without all the notifications from my phone
