My example for a similar product is Sony NW-S703F, a noise-canceling MP3 player.
It was a thing of beauty, just terribly pleasurable to use. The noise canceling and audio quality was great.
But - it only supported a proprietary audio format, and everything had to be transcoded instead of just copied over. Took forever, and it couldn't successfully transcode every format.
And that's how Sony stays in business. It was such a good music player once the music was on there, I am tempted to buy another one as long as it's cheap.
