A phone with a jack, and the headphone cable could have physical control buttons. I have this combo and it's the best. The buttons on the headphone cable are easy to access.

I've got a sony Xperia 5 II (has a sd slot), and a pair of fiio fh5, and a pair of bullets from the one plus 3. They do their job.

There's mmcx or 2pin cables that have control buttons and a microphone too.

I've got an app for music, one for podcasts. The podcast one can resume any audio from the last played position.

Have you tried google yet?

Also: Rule 2

I mean, that's a low bar.

How about your phone?

If you don't have a headphone jack on yours, the Apple 3.5mm to usb C dongle is cheap and very good.

Otherwise what you're looking for is generally called a "DAP", which just means digital audio player. They basically all should have the features you're looking for.

A Xudoo X2S for example does the trick just fine and costs little money.

This submission has automatically been removed due to the following rule:

>Rule 2: Ask purchase and shopping questions in the Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk > > Requests for product opinions, comparisons, and general purchase advice must be made in the dedicated Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk instead of a new post.

Portable audio related purchase advice may also be asked in r/HeadphoneAdvice but please familiarize yourself with their rules first.

What questions are considered purchase advice?

• A request for product suggestions, comparison requests, or opinion requests fall under the purchase advice rule. These can often be found by searching first.

• Any suggestion or comparison request pertaining to headphones, IEMs, DACs, amps, or other accessories should be directed to the purchase help thread or r/headphoneadvice.

• Asking the subreddit to help make a decision to buy a product does fall under this rule (e.g. "should I get dekoni pads for my HD650?").

Why does this rule even exist?

• In short, this is a large subreddit with a high volume. We want to help, but it's important to keep things organized to keep the sub fun. Thanks for your understanding.

• A more detailed explanation about this rule can be found here.

I'm certain that my post wasn’t asking for product opinions or purchase advice!

• Thanks for reading the above and making it this far.

• I'm a bot and I sometimes make mistakes. If you've read this message and still believe that it doesn't apply, please message the r/headphones moderators

IEMs. If you want anc, Sony mx4 until apple airpod max comes out.
