Long Battery Life

Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2025
I've only had mine for a few days but so far my thoughts on it are very positive with one exception: battery life (more on that in a bit).I had a memory card loaded with my music library and put it in before I even turned the player on. All it took to get my music playing was to tell the installed app where to look for my files and wait a few minutes for it to load a very large library (every digital fileand CD I've purchased since 1991). I was impressed that it recognized them so fast. The app I had been using on my phone took a day and a half to add all of them.I was also able to start adding the Audible books I'm listening to with no problem.I like the size of the player. The four inch touch screen is the perfect size, even for my big hands. I have no trouble navigating to whatever music I want. The fact that it shipped with a screen protector installed, a spare, and a silicone case is a plus.I haven't hooked a wired headset to it yet so I can't speak to the quality there, but the Bluetooth has mostly worked without flaw. I went in a store with the player in my pants pocket and had the Bluetooth connection start dropping more packets than were making it to the headphones. The problem cleared up as soon as I took the player out of my pocket. I regularly used these headphones with my phone and the player I am retiring and have never had this happen, even when outside. Also, the sound often gets scratchy when I adjust the volume but immediately clears up once it is set.Now for the reason I only gave it four stars: Battery life. 50 hours playback of music? After the first full charge I got 10 before it was down to a 5%. I used it about 4 or 5 hours yesterday and was at 50% of a charge when I got home. I'm not watching any video or streaming any music and have the screen set to turn off after 30 seconds. Stored music files and downloaded audiobooks are all I have done with it. I haven't hooked it to my computer to transfer files since the first day and it was fully charged before either of the instances I gave.One note about the battery that anyone needs know when they purchase this player. Don't use a powerful charger on this player. According to the manual the battery will be damaged if you use a charger that puts out more than 1 amp. It takes a 1 amp charger about four hours to charge it from 5% to 100%.I'll update my review once I have connected my wired headphones (they are studio grade and need a separate amp to keep them from draining a battery quickly).If you can be satisfied with the significantly shorter than promised battery life this player is worth trying. It's easy to use and fits anywhere an iPod or similarly sized player would go.

If I could, I would rate this 10 stars. I am VERY IMPRESSED. I just got this yesterday and am already using it just like I wanted. I never even used the manual; it's very easy to set up. If I'd known about this player last year, I could have saved myself $300 bucks because I bought a Sony Walkman for its features (being able to make playlists is very important to me and not all players have that feature). This player is just like the Walkman, but for a lot less money.

This mp3 player has both Bluetooth and WiFi. It’s a cool device and a step up from the old iPods we all used to use with the spinning wheel. Looks like a pretty standard smart phone but it’s a mp3 player. The screen is a nice size and I think my kids could use it. It seems easy enough and the user interface seems like a standard one you’d fine on most devices. It has a touch screen and some additional functionality

I guess I missed the part that says FOR KIDS. OS takes almost 9GB of memory.With 98% battery you get less than 4hours. .. Description says that you can play music for 50 hours or watch 8 hours of video... replacement? NOT... Return/ Refund YES

This little unit takes all the pressure off your phone to provide entertainment, which comes in particularly handy when you need to play the music for a party on your only phone and then get an important call. Plus it’s an mp3 player with a memory card slot that allows you to download that old music collection you have lurking on iTunes loaded PC you’ve got laying around somewhere.

I gave this five stars although if there was a choice of 4 1/2 stars I would have you used that. First, It takes a longer time than I would like to start up. And then you have to kind of let it settle in for things to work quicker. But once that's done everything works great. Using the pre-installed Hiby MP3 app, I couldn't get my wireless earbuds to work properly. They connected with Bluetooth no problem, but they wouldn't pause the songs and I couldn't go forward to the next song or backward to the song before; all standard controls on my earbuds. So I replaced the Hiby app with one called "Music Player & MP3 - DDmusic" and now everything worked perfectly, I had full control of my wireless earbuds. This is now my go-to DAP for just working around the house or tinkering or biking workouts, pretty much anything. For $75 I believe this is totally worth the money, so far... I'll update this review if I have any issues down the road.
