80GB MP3 Player with Bluetooth and WiFi, MP3 Player for Kids with Spotify, Spotify Kids, Pandora, Audible, 4.0" Touch Screen Music Player with Parental Controls, Up to 1TB (White+ Sky-Blue)

I have an S23 Ultra that is way too big and heavy for keeping in my pocket at the gym. I've spent a good bit of time weighing my options for a portable player that supports Spotify and has bluetooth and wifi. I've thought about smart watches, refurbished iPods, "dumb" mp3 players (maybe I can live without Spotify?). And of course, the many Chinese sub-$100 dollar devices, that all seem to have either 5 or 1 stars. I was clearly in analysis-paralysis mode, and decided to just take a flyer on this one. For $63, and hopefully returnable, what's the worst that can happen? Well, I'm glad I gambled. This thing is perfect. Form factor that's small enough to barely notice, even in my pocket on the treadmill. I was able to easily get on various wifis, connect to my bluetooth headphones, and stream my Spotify. Battery life seems OK - it can definitely go for many hours between charges. It gets a little hot when navigating with the screen on, but it's fine streaming music with the screen off. Yes, the interface is a little unusual. But I was able to learn it quickly enough. Yes, it's a little sluggish just navigating around the UI. But not too bad, and I've had no issues streaming playlists. The device is locked to just the apps listed in the specs (and apparently no option to side load). You can organize your home screen just like on any smartphone. You can delete apps, but if you realize you want an app back you'll need to factory reset. On the security front, I am a little sketched out that this device manages its own updates, and who knows what Android security is or isn't there. But because I'm just using it stream music, I'm choosing to ignore possible attack vectors by just making sure my passwords are unique to my streaming app and not shared with any other accounts. I won't be using the included Chrome browser for anything. There's also some kind of music filesharing app that you can install on your phone to share files with this device - I'll be staying away from that as well. All of that said, I want to be clear that I am not suggesting there's anything insecure with this particular device. But in today's world, you need to be extremely careful. Lastly, the included paper manual is surprisingly thorough and is written in good English. I recommend reading the manual before starting to play with the device; it's the rare case where reading the manual would have actually saved me an hour of poking around. I was not expecting this from such a cheap, practically throw-away device produced in China. I hope more companies start providing proper manuals like this one. I just started using this device so I'm leaving 5 stars for now. In case I start having glitches I'll come back and edit my review. I don't expect this thing to last many years, because who knows what becomes unsupported in some future software update or bluetooth/wifi spec change. But if I get even a year out of this, I'll be pretty happy. EDIT: I've run into a problem that a bunch of others have commented on, in that the device seems to brick itself after being fully discharged. I've had this happen too, and found the solution is to use a lower amp charger. I have a fast charger for my phone, which seems to work fine for regularly charging this MP3 player. But when it's fully discharged I find the fast charger no longer works. So I simply use one of my slower chargers and after a few minutes it has enough charge to turn on.

Bought 3 of these players, two for my daughters and one for my nephew for Christmas. It was purchased exactly 2 months ago. Today, one of my daughters went to turn it on, it froze then the screen completely blacked out. It won't turn on at all now. It was great when it worked. She loved playing music from it. Even the built in speaker was loud and clear. Unfortunately, I have to give it a one-star because 2 months durability is not worth it. Going to reach out to support and see if they can assist. Will update once I talk to them. Update: support reached out. Told me to reset which worked for it to turn on but the touch screen still doesn’t work (see video). They told me to reinstall firmware, when that didn’t work. They basically stopped responding. So disappointed.

Since Apple stopped making the iPod touch, I’ve been casting about for a suitable replacement. I’m very pleased with this. I’ve been using it a lot since I bought mine in May. Good battery life, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi functions very well, and while the HiBy music player takes a little tinkering to get used to, I believe it is technically superior to my iPod. Using a guality speaker or headphones or whatever, it sounds really good, and I think you’ll be pleased with either the pre-loaded audio sound profiles, or you can use the graphic equalizer instead. Many of us still think physical media has a place, so since you can set up Windows Media player to rip your CD's and depending on the settings, I think the MP3's it generates actually sound much better than how iTunes does at ripping your CD's--to my ears anyway. Device supports up to a 1 Tb micro SD card, so storage space is not a problem. It picked up my 256 without a hiccup, and they even sent me a 64 GB card with mine. Sweet! For purchasers of these devices, know that when you buy one advertising 64 Gb. of space, they are including a 64 Gb. MicroSD card with it. The device itself only has 16 Gb. onboard memory, but since this unit is only a media player and can't access the Google Play store, this is more than enough. Stick your files on the SD card and you'll be just fine. In settings, you will notice 2 items related to device storage--one called "internal shared storage" and the other called "disk". It's an Android thing, and can help you keep your files arranged and separated. And, should you move your stuff to another Android device, if you have them on your MicroSD card, you just move the card over. Gotta love that. Has a great video player, and the other applications it comes with look to be ready to go. I suspect, like any small device, if you’re using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth at same time, you’re battery will run down quickly. Ditto if screen is running constantly. Hey--my iPod was the same way. With Chrome browser, you should be able to YouTube and stream other fun things you find on the web. Haven’t really missed a camera--yet, and I get why it doesn’t have access to the App Store. While I would be very pleased if it did, I get why they left it out. Better if you got kids, and this is no small consideration. I’m very pleased with mine. Updated 9/17/24

Bought it a few days ago. The physical build quality is excellent. The internal speaker is tinny as expected, but the included earbuds sound fantastic. OS response time in bringing up apps, swiping, etc., is great. I wanted it specifically for podcasts rather than music. The only app I can use for podcasts is Spotify. The unit is locked down to only the installed apps, so no Google Play Store, no ability to download other apps like I Heart Radio. That is the main disappointment for me. So if you're ok with only the installed apps, I recommend it. Otherwise, go for something else that includes Google Play Store capabilities.

Easy to set up. Easy to connect to WiFi and Bluetooth headphones. Great purchase. Great price. Good sound.

Excellente option de lecteur de musique pour un enfant/ado à un prix raisonnable. J'ai apprécié la possibilité de supprimer les applications que je ne souhaitais pas proposer à ma fille. Compatible avec abonnement Deezer ou Spotify. Excellent service client et SAV quand j'ai dû les contacter suite à un petit problème de batterie. 100% recommandé.

Eu simplesmente amei!!! Dá muita conta das minhas musicas, audios books e mais ainda posso baixar as plays lists do Spotify. Simplesmente ameiii!! Para usar aqui em SP nos exercícios, para não levar o celular.

Bought for my daughter and she loves it

Buen producto pero se siente muy ligero y desechable

Il prodotto si è presentato sin da subito di una lentezza esasperante. Spesso le APP Amazon Music e Spotify si bloccavano e per farle ripartire dovevo chiuderle e riavviarle. Inoltre quando lo collegavo al caricabatterie non partiva la ricarica oppure partiva dopo qualche minuto di collegamento. Alla fine non ha più caricato il sistema operativo (restava bloccato alla schermata di avvio) e per spegnerlo dovevo premere il tasto di reset. Restituito al mittente Non proprio un bel regalo di natale
