I think you have hit the nail on the head. This is really about the audio performance, more so even than the convenience of use (which is still important). I can safely say the products you mentioned are not in the same category as the AxiomAeris N3; which is a pair of M3s in one box with a real 75 watt RMS per channel amplifier. If you add up the components the price point is actually quite aggressive. The pair of M3s, the 150 watt amplifier, the power supply, the DAC, and the computer/wireless components. The battery is sold separately and can be purchased with the AxiomAeris N3 or installed later by simply removing the battery access door in the bottom and inserting the battery.
