Worked really well up till 3 days after the return window closed. Now it doesn't power on and I have a sad daughter. The company reached out to me and apologized and offered to make things right by sending us a new MP3 player at no cost!! This goes to show how great this company is, by standing behind their product and offering customer satisfaction... I would definitely recommend this company and their product. Thank you for caring about your customers!!

I just bought my second one of these. The first one I had worked fine, but it was lost in a house fire. I use this thing nearly daily. Good sound, connect bluetooth buds, can set up playlists, has an equalizer (rather limited, but good enough). The 512 GB micro sd card availability is great for those who want to store that much data. My first one I used a 64GB card and only filled about a third of it.You have to play with the device to figure out how to work everything, but if you're around electronics enough, you should be able to get it.My only real complaint is that for both of these devices, neither the 64 GB card they provided, nor the cable that came with it worked. It wasn't the end of the world. I had plenty of extra of each and they did the job.This small little device essentially took the place of an Android tablet I usually carried around. Much easier to take walks with, etc.

Ma fille de 13 ans adore car l’ écran est assez grand en comparaison au MP3 qu’elle avait. Bon son.

Muy buen dispositivo. Lo uso cuando viajo o voy en el auto para escuchar musica y no bajar la batería de mi celular. La batería sí dura mucho. Yo compré un verde agua, me gustó mucho el color muy original. Lo que no pude usar fue el FILE TRANSFER. Ni entre dos dispositivos iguales. Y debería ser más accesible la funda, porque si la necesita se resbala un poco y por seguridad de la micro sd. Pero fuera de eso me gustó mucho, estoy muy contenta y agusto con mi compra.

Todo funciona bien, excepto que el manual no es muy explícito para cargar música en microtarjetas sd. Hasta ahora todo funciona bien, aunque su conectividad bluetooth no funciona con varios dispositivos.

I would give this a 4.5 stars only because I was disappointing that it only has 6GB of internal memory not 8GB as displayed however it can actually support a 512GB TF Card and there are not many MP3 players that can do so. It also plays all my movie formats with audio that not even my android can. Easy to upload music only the Type C USB wire it comes with is cheap and would not always work plugging it in to my PC every time so I used a better USB type C and it will connect automatically without hesitation now to transfer music. The color, sound and image quality is great for movies. This MP3 is fully equipped to organize local and global time with alarm settings and I use to wake up now. Great for organizing music and movies in different categories that are easy to find. This does so much so read the instructions to better organize playlists with no problem. I could connect with all my Bluetooth devices and it still functioned 30 feet away behind a wall in another room. I am amazed of what all this can do for the price. The screen may be fragile so don't drop it if the screen is protected. This MP3 is the best one I ever had and I bought many so it's worth taking care of so you may want to get a screen protector and a carrying case. I hope this to be my last MP3.

=== Review Update Jun 30 2020 = = = =I am happy to report that the excellent customer service from this vendor resolved some of the issues I had with the first sample I received. I was sent a replacement unit that did not have any of the touch screen issues noted in my earlier review. It also worked OK in regard to connecting and reconnecting with most Bluetooth devices I tested (details provided below). The player doesn't automatically reconnect, but it will reconnect using a previous "pair" by simply selecting the connection in the BT menu.The replacement player still has a few software glitches that are reportedly being corrected with a pending firmware update. I will update my review after testing the new firmware.I tested several BT receiver devices and had success with all of them except for a TaoTronics TT-BR05 that is described as having BT version 4.2 The player will connect and transmit music but has very brief audio dropouts every few minutes. I did not have any other BT 4.2 devices to test, so I can't determine if the problem was unique to the connection between the Timmkoo player the TaoTronics TT-BR05 receiver. However, that same receiver worked fine with several other players that I tested.I was unable to pair the Timmkoo player with a Pioneer DEH-6400BT car stereo (installed on a boat). However, the supplier explained that the Timmkoo was not designed to pair with car stereos.So far I have had success using the Timmkoo player with these devices:TaoTronics TT-BA07 receiver (BT 5.0)Amazon Echo Tap (BT unknown)Wicked Raider Earbuds (BT 4.1)Bose QC35ii Earphones (BT 4.0)I can report that I am satisfied with the Timmkoo player and with the customer service I received. I can recommend the device as a low cost MP3 player that will likely pair with any late-model BT receiver. I will update this review when the new firmware is provided.=== Original Review from May 2020 = = =The small size and seemingly solid construction are positive aspects. But the unreliable Bluetooth performance and flaky software render this device just short of unusable.I loaded the internal memory and a 32Gb SD card with many folders of MP3 music in hopes of using this unit as a music streamer to replace a failed (and ancient) iPhone. This Timmkoo player has a simple user interface that promised ease of use as an mp3 streamer. But the interface is sluggish in response to finger taps and often lags behind a few steps. So multiple taps (as if the first tap didn’t work) can trigger multiple responses that take you where you don’t want to go. So I find myself often hitting the home button and then going more slowly than I would like to work my way through the alphabetic listing of artists and albums. Because the interface is so slow I divided my artists into several top level folders separate by alpha letters; A-E, F-J, etc. This scheme eliminates a lot of finger swipes that are otherwise required to get from A to Z in a long list of artist folders.Once an album folder is accessed the player will stream the songs in alpha order. That’s what I want, so that part works ok. I number my tracks starting with 01 so the albums play songs in the correct order. But...and here’s a bummer...the software seems to stick on the most recent folder. When I move to a different folder (album) and start the first song it doesn’t play; instead, the first song of the prior folder plays, followed by all the songs in the prior folder. Very annoying. I haven’t found a consistent easy way to resolve this. So for now I return to the home screen and start over. It’s time consuming, but it seems to work every time.The Bluetooth connections are also flaky. The unit will connect ok but has brief (I.e. 20 ms) interruptions every five minutes or so. And, when it powers down, it won’t reconnect with a prior device unless the “forget this device” routine is performed. So I have to re-pair every time.So I am making do with the device for now. Would I buy another one? No.

This product arrived on time and the packaging was undamaged.Upon opening this MP3 player my wife and I were, at first, very impressed. It had a nice weight and overall clean feel. We charged it and then started to explore it's features (the ones that worked). Overall, the MP3 player works flawlessly as long as your audio files and tracks are properly numbered and categorized. If you are buying it solely for an MP3 player with good battery life this is not a bad product even though the touchscreen can get a bit slow and imprecise. The product also came with an adhesive sheet screen protector in which you can apply and a slightly transparent casing (which we both utilized and didn't utilize throughout our future tests, just in case that was a factor). The device also comes with a few patch cords for charging and data transfer, but very little in terms of instructions. However, this product is really straight forward and the lack of directions should not be an issue as long as you are only using it as an MP3 player and have mild knowledge of audio transfers.Just in case this helps, while attempting audio transfers, please pay attention to the device's screen once you plug it into your computer with the provided cables. The touchscreen gives you the option to either transfer files or simply charge it. Once we selected transfer files an icon immediately appeared on our desktop to drag data into. Again, organization of files, folders, and tracks is key. In addition, if you do not have an external memory card installed/added, the icon will only be for the device's internal memory/storage. If you do add an additional memory external micro SD card (we added a 128GB micro SD card), it will also show up. With that in mind, since both icons will show up each time to plug it in, we recommend you label each to avoid confusion later. As a stand alone MP3 player with a few other simply functions (clock, calendar, rerecorder, calculator, eDictionary, etc), it is nice, but a bit pricy compared to other MP3 players on the market; that is why we specifically ordered the model with bluetooth...but that is where this product fails.As mentioned, we did not buy this product for the ability to play MP3s alone via speakers or headphones, we specifically bought the bluetooth model for both Bluetooth and the FM Radio function. Both are marketed features on the specific device we ordered, and both are clearly labeled on the touchscreen; however, but DO NOT WORK at all.The Bluetooth, once switched on, merely shows a searching circular icon that needs to be refreshed over and over in the attempt to read any device (which it will not). At first we thought we were too far away from our other bluetooth products so we tested multiple distances before finally placing this product directly on the desired bluetooth products. It just would not recognize nor detect them. That said, the other bluetooth compatible products (12 total) work flawlessly with other devices, but not this product. Our primary use for this MP3 player was to connect to our vehicle's audio system so we could play songs, audiobooks, etc during our long commutes. We have a cheaper MP3 player that has done this for 6 years without fail and we wanted a new once with a touch screen function to replace it. Sadly, this item will not be replacing our old one. It will not recognize any of our vehicles, any of our bluetooth headphones, nor any other device we own. Again, we specifically purchased the model that had bluetooth, sadly, this merely has the icons while lacking any functionality.In terms of the FM Radio, it simply DOES NOT WORK... and it apparently will only allegedly work with headphones. You can not even access the FM Radio icon unless the headphones are plugged in, which is a very odd function unless the headphones act as an antenna. Once you connect the headphones, you can open the icon on the main screen, you can even search for radio stations, but all you will get is a continuous loud squeal and static sound. The sound never varies no matter what channel you select and this is a very annoying issue that is fed directly into your ear since you apparently must utilize the provided headphones at all times in order for it to allegedly work. The product has speakers that works well for the MP3s, but not the radio. Sadly, this is the only MP3 player we have that requires headphones in order to even access the radio icon. Unfortunately, even with the headphones, the radio just DOES NOT WORK. My wife and I recently (yesterday) traveled between 2 states which accounted for approximately 310 miles of driving. During this time my poor wife continuously attempted to get any radio station. We traveled through open fields, towns, 3 cities, and many other locations while not being able to achieve a signal station. It merely squealed the entire time which was disappointing. Please know, we also tried this radio function in our house and even outside, just in case the walls were a factor (which isn't a factor for our other devices), but it did not work.Conclusion:If you only want a MP3 player with the potential to add 128GB external micro storage to play MP3s via speaker or headphones, this is not a bad product. The touchscreen can be a bit hesitant with a slightly misaligned touchscreen calibration, but overall it works as a playable brick. The speakers and external memory compatibility are truly the best features of this product; however, if you are like us and wish to utilize Bluetooth and/or the FM Radio function, this isn't the product for you. Perhaps our model is merely defective, but we find it strange that both functions do not work.Rating: 1-StarWe are giving this product 1 star since the specific function we bought it for, Bluetooth, doesn't work. We bought it for a specific function based on this specific model's claim(s), and it simply DID NOT WORK. In addition, if the FM Radio at least worked, we would have given it to our parents so they could enjoy it, but that DOES NOT WORK either. As such, it only gets 1 star via its failure to achieve our specific need, a need it was advertised to do. If you only need it for playing audio files via speakers or headphones, I am sure your rating would be much higher; but for us, this product fails to do what it advertised and what it was purchased for. As such, we are back to using our old MP3 player until we find a better model.I hope this review helps.
