HiByDigital M300 Android MP3 Player with Bluetooth and WiFi Streaming Player Android 13 Snapdragon 665 HiFi Audio (PCM/DSD) FM Radio Speaker Touchscreen 32GB + 2TB Expandable Storage

Had the HiBy digital M300 music player for a couple of days and am extremely pleased with it. I added a high end 512 GB Sandisk Micro SD card and then placed my music collection on it. The collection, which added up to 240 GB took a while to load but the player did this flawlessly. The HiBy music player app recognized the music easily and I was ready to go. I used my Ear Fun Pro Noise Cancelling headphones (these to me are better sounding for music than the much more costly ones from Bose or Sony-I recommend these highly if one wants great music on a budget) to sync with the player. The Bluetooth connection was immediate and the sound was fabulous. The music is clear, smooth, warm giving me a well-balanced listening presence. I tried all different music since I am an eclectic music lover such as pop, jazz, classical, soul, country, oldies and other types and each music genre was given a similar smooth and balanced sound with a wonderful stage presence. At times when the music warranted it, I could hear different instruments to the left and right, as well as a vibrant presence in center stage for a vocalist. The base was just perfect, not too obvious but nevertheless accenting the lows and mids throughout. I am not an Audiophile, but someone who loves listening to music, even through streaming on Spotify and this player does it all well. I can download any Google app with no problem, which the player easily supports. The device is very very compact and yet large enough to fit into the comfort of ones hand. It is made out of solid materials and they even placed a screen protector on the front. Some people may say that their phone may do the same thing, and they might be right. Yet when I listen to music, while reading, or walking, or working in the yard, I prefer not be be disturbed since I want to be in my zone and out of the hustle and bustle of phone calls. The sound compared to my Samsung phone is also far better. Those younger people in the midst of a successful career, should probably keep their music on their phone, but for a person who at some time during their day likes being in a personal zone--these would be perfect for them. There are cheaper ones out there but these will get the job of delivering music done in a full and clear way with an overall package that is thoughtfully designed. I recommend them highly.

After owning 2 DAPs from Fiio that would not play about 10% of my songs, I went to the HiBy R3ii player. But it also didn't play all my songs. So I ordered this M300. While waiting for my DAP, updated my Fiio DAPs and now they play all my songs. Hm. So tried to play all songs with my M300 new DAP. Nope. Still not playing them all. Not using the HiBy music app. I have even sent HiBy 10 songs as examples and then never heard back from them again, after the first three emails. But then the magic happened. I started using Musicolet on this M300 DAP and wow, everything plays. I have enough songs to listen to music 3 hours a day and not hear a single song repeat for about two years. That's a lot of songs. And my folder structure is set up as a playlist. So making actual playlists in Musicolet on this M300 DAP was a snap. And the sound is just as good as any of my Fiio DAPs and better than the HiBy R3ii Dap. The R3ii uses a proprietary OS while this OS is Android base. So using other apps is a breeze. Sure, I am a Mac guy and iPhone OS systems, but this is easy enough to figure out, at my age. (61). I don't think I will miss using the music player app from HiBy. Not at all. I spent ten hours setting up my playlists and all my music on a 512 GB card, and everything is working seamlessly. Sure, the Android is a bit odd at times, but that's not on HiBy. But the easy of use and sound quality are just fine for my ears. The DAP is solid and built well. I got a case and more screen protectors. When taking of the clear plastic HiBy uses to protect the factory installed screen protector, it came off as well, and I had to order new screen protectors before I even used the DAP. Bummer. But now, now... life is good. I have my first DAP set up fully to enjoy all my music (not most my music) on my fairly expensive home system, and my vehicle - and all sounds great to me. Life is boring without music. I would recommend this DAP for most people. It is a solid DAP and capable of playing anything, with the right app, and sounding amazing enough.

I was looking for an upgrade to my Gen 1 R3 DAP that would have a larger screen and better ergonomics. This device is running on Android and allows me to download any app that is in the Play Store...including different music player apps. The sound is also louder than the R3 but I can't say that the sound quality is any better. That's fine by me as the R3 sounded just fine through a number of different earphones and IEM's. I prefer this to using my cell phone for music because I have a ton of FLAC music files that I don't want to have taking up storage space on the phone.The quality of construction is first rate, typical of what I expect from HiBy. The clarity of the screen is very good and the controls operate fine, as does the touch screen. I also appreciate that I can download all of my favorite music and podcast apps making this far more versatile than the R3. It also came with a decent screen protector but did not include a case (included with the R3). So, I bought the optional case to protect the device. It added very little bulk to an already small device and the price of the case was fine.All thing considered, unless you are young with excellent hearing or are really a diehard audiophile I cannot see any good reason to pay more for a DAP. Highly recommended!
