MP4 Player with Bluetooth and Wifi

I was pretty sceptical. Cheap chi-fi can sometimes disappoint. A dap with most lossless music apps preloaded as well as audible, able to take a 1tb sd card, and LDAC Bluetooth… for less than £65??!! Surely there’s a catch? This however doesn’t disappoint in any way. No gotchas, no catch. I have an all bells and whistles digital audio player but treasure it too much to take out. I wanted a small ‘basher’ dap that I could take out with me without worrying to much if it got dropped, damaged, lost or stolen. This little gem fits the bill perfectly. It comes preloaded with all the major music streaming apps and plays lossless music without issue on all. It also comes with audible preloaded which is an added bonus if like me you’re also addicted to audiobooks. All work perfectly. It took a 1tb micro sd card without issue and plays my flac library brilliantly using the preloaded Hiby Music app. Hiby Music isn’t quite as good as Poweramp which I use on my expensive DAP but still very good. You can eq to your heart’s content, and Hiby Music has the excellent MSEB for further tweaking. Only real drawback is that it doesn’t have much audio power. Can’t find any published ratings for Mwatts or VRMS, but this won’t drive anything but the most sensitive IEM’s and headphones. Anything less than easily driven IEM’s/phones and this will struggle. Tried it with my planar drivers and it was v dull and lifeless. With sensitive IEM’s it’s good. BT is also excellent. Especially as it has LDAC. All in all this is a feature packed DAP that punches well above it’s weight. I’d go as far as to say it’s a giant killer. You could conceivably forgo all the DAPS out there over £250 and just get this! I picked mine up on a special offer of £63. An absolute steal! Yes my expensive Dap with dual akm chips sounds better and has way more power for driving insensitive cans. Yes my expensive dap has full play store access allowing me to download any apps - which this doesn’t - but if I didn’t already own it, I’d be perfectly happy with this little diamond in the ruff. It’s a very well done cheap little DAP that performs exactly as promised and more importantly as needed. Very good indeed!

I bought this as a back up for another player which I sometimes find a bit bulky if I'm going to be out all day (Surfans 20). I saw that it was around half price, and did a bit of research online before deciding to buy it. That was a mistake.For a start, it took around 10 tries before it recognised the SD card. when it eventually did, I formatted it so that I could use it on other devices, and that was ok. Halfway through transferring music, it suddenly stopped. No reason, it just stopped. I was copying files from my desktop to the card, and it quit. That was 45 minutes wasted. Now it's back to not recognising that there's an SD card in it, and the PC can't see it either. I went into the settings, and it wants me to format the card again. Nope.I tried transferring a few FLAC music files to the 16gb internal storage, and that was fine. Then I tried to play them. Time after time, it stopped and started, then the player threw up an Error - File Not Found message, even while it was playing a song. Not that I could hear it.If you look this up on youtube you'll see a lot of channels talk about how good the external speaker is, but none of them will talk about just how awful the headphone output is. It is unbelievably bad. Even at full volume I can hear whats going on around me, assuming that the song will even play. I used a set of very expensive Bang and Olufsen headphones, as well as several sets of mid range IEMS, and the quality of the sound from all of them is shocking. There was hiss and popping on every track I tried, and everything is flat and compressed. It's like listening through speakers with a blanket over them. Dreadful.I can't over emphasise just how bad the headphone output is. This is the purpose of a portable music player after all. It comes with a load of useless apps, which is where the money has gone, but it fails to do the one thing that people will buy it for. If it can't drive a pair of low impedance IEMS, then what's the use of it?Avoid this and buy literally any other player instead.

I absolutely love this player! And the value for money is crazy too. Great sound quality, although it doesn't support Hi-Res audio (but it doesn't bother me, it still sounds great), battery life is great, it lasts for about 4 days give or take on WiFi through Spotify and wired headphones, if you use it to listen offline it lasts even much longer! And speaking of Spotify, you have that one plus all the other popular music streaming apps pre-installed (which you can uninstall if you don't use some) so that's fantastic! It comes in a nice, compact and lightweight format, perfect for when you're either on the go, or just at home reading, studying, researching or just plain meditating/relaxing/sleeping. Couldn't recommend this player more! This is an essential for me.
