Some people like to enjoy their media without having to use a smartphone, they prefer to keep their smartphones as strictly communication devices.

Okay, I guess that's fair. I can see this useful for being out for a run or whatnot. I'm not sure I find it quite comparable to an e-reader, since the screen on an e-reader provides a decidedly different experience from a smartphone both in size and readability.

Depending on the particular DAP there may be physical size and storage advantages. Furthermore most ‘premium’ smartphones do not come with a headphone jack meaning that the audio experience using a decent pair of IEMs will be an improvement on listening to music on a smartphone via a pair of wireless headphones/earbuds.

P.S. I’ve yet to come across a pair of wireless earbuds that are as comfortable or sound as good as my favorite pair of IEMs.
