depends on who you are.
I am leaning in that direction. I am out writing right now and i have my phone and laptop, But I am streaming audio from my phone to a fiio btr3k. I am using lossless audio because the btr works as a amp for my high hifi headphones. The expereince, versus bluetooth standard stand or just inexpensive headphones is pretty drastic. But really this is about if you want this experience and the crowd of people like me are growing.
Streaming audio from spotify and other services sounds pretty bad on most devices, so in that case not even "magic headphones" can fix it, but for people like me that search out HQ sources a device like that would be a great solution.
It's one of those things that if you know you need it you are already looking for it. But its also a great gateway to new audiophiles looking for an accessible way into the scene.
YOU most likely dont need it, most people probably don't. But for the people out there that like the process of getting the most out of their music things like this are pretty cool.

I have to admit, after being out for a walk this morning listening to music on my phone and having email notifications repeatedly interrupt it, I'm starting to change my mind.

Now imagine that experience with a great pair of head phones and some high res audio. It really can change your day to discover someone new in the music you love.

Way ahead of you with the headphones, made that move a few years ago and never looked back. You're definitely right about how much music can boost your day.

Maybe don't but something as expensive as that walkman. Try using something cheap like my btr3k and some Flac's of music you know well. I would say that if you enjoy that experience it might be worth moving to a better system
