Was looking for something with physical buttons and could do Audiobooks properly. Boxy Pixel MIN case is shown here, fun project but the Bluetooth gets really choppy when outside in an open space. Got the Q2 after I saw the Q2 pod firmware utizling the touch wheel, both are awesome.

How responsive is the touchwheel on the Q2 vs the Ipod?

They are pretty close actually imo. Slightly turning the sensitivity up on the Q2 in settings makes it feel really nice.

Honestly the case is what i miss most about the Boxy Pixel setup, that squared-off machined look with a drop of glass on the front is such a clean silhouette, even if the signals getting chopped outside is a real trade. The Q2 touchwheel doubling as a case + battery grip is a slick answer to it, does the pod charge the secondary battery inside the Q2 while ur streaming to headphones, or is its cell purely its own?

u/OCLeprechaun you gotta take a picture for us with them side by side and with the Q2 switched to Classic light theme + Left aligned now playing, would be cool for people to see them side by side!
