MP3 Player with Bluetooth

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 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.

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.

I was in need of a new MP3 player since my little "SanDisk Sansa" model stopped being acknowledged by my computer, so adding new tunes became an issue that I still haven't figured out how to solve. This Innioasis one caught my eye and the reviews were quite good as well. So far, it is just as desired and works perfectly. Love the larger screen and being able to customize aspects of it. Now there is a major issue though, but not one that destroys getting it. My PC computer does not see it when plugging the unit into a USB slot. I hear the Windows chime noting that it should be visible in Explorer, but nothing shows up. The work around is to remove the micro-SD card (I use a "SanDisk ImageMate 512 GB MicroSD XC 1"), put that in the adapter which comes with the card and use a "Sunpak 72-in-1 High-Speed Card Reader" adapter that Windows sees perfectly fine. Then you can add all your music to the memory card and put it back into the player. From there, the HiBy Music program in the unit will see all of your folders full of music. Another minor issue is the bloatware. This is a somewhat small player, why would I want to read digital books on it? I'd unstall everything except the HiBy Music, Recorder, Videos (though I don't see the point), Gallery, FM Radio and the various utilities (Clock, Calendar, Calculator, File Transfer, File Manager and Settings). There are some music streaming apps like Spotify, etc. if so desired to use them. These minor quibbles do not spoil the player though. The buttons are easy to use with a nicely bright screen and lightweight metal body. There is a headphone jack if you do not have Blutooth ones. All of the settings are simple to understand and fairly detailed. I did purchase the clear case to protect it from the company at the time, but I'd avoid it since the one I got had the volume and on-off buttons put on the wrong side, so the case was useless. There is one by Appido, as well as a screen protector by Lamshaw (both are hear on Amazon), that I will be buying. Nonetheless, I highly recommend this little MP3 player. The two noted issue do not hurt its enjoyability.

Updated Review. The seller reached out and sent me a new music player. I am very pleased with the customer service from this company. The new music player is working very well and my son is happy! This was a Christmas present so I was outside of return window by the time it was set up. I was able to complete the initial setup with no problems. I was able to play a couple songs in Amazon music and Pandora after set up. A few days later I played a few songs but then I didn’t touch it again for over a week. The battery must have gone dead in that time so I put it on the charger. It is not responding to anything I’ve tried. I attempted all the things listed in the manual, including the reset button. This was too expensive to not to work after such a short time.

Pro: product works like a smart phone. Touch screen is easy to read, and you can use some apps as long as you have wifi local or tether. The native music player is decent and you can use both internal and external storage. I used this to run music at an affair, and using Bluetooth, I could control the sound from my table. Worked very well Con: 2 items. First, I formatted the included extra card originally to be an extension of the local storage. When I did, the memory still showed the basic memory size. I reformatted as a additional storage card and now just address that card for music. Second, I used a cable to plug into the aux in my vehicle. Worked fine for a while, then just started making odd sounds and skipping. I then used it indoors for the holiday and connected it via Bluetooth to my anker speaker. Connected no problem, but then it would just stop in the middle of a song and I would have to hit play again. This happened 5-6 times in the course of a couple of hours. I really like this thing and two weeks ago would have given it 5 stars. Today I have to give it 3.

Works better than the Mighty that just went caput on me. Great battery life. And at half the price of the Mighty!

I recently purchased this Innioasis Bluetooth MP3 player, and after just three weeks of trying to make it work, I'm thoroughly frustrated and very disappointed. This device is a nightmare in terms of usability—it's nearly impossible to figure out how to operate without any clear instructions. It's loaded with a bunch of unnecessary apps, but there's zero guidance on which one to use or what to click to simply play music from the SD card. I spent hours fumbling around, and it still feels like a puzzle designed to frustrate. Worse yet, when it does play music, it constantly skips with these annoying half-second delays that make it sound like it's reloading RAM or buffering endlessly. It's not smooth at all, ruining any listening experience. To top it off, the included SD card was defective right out of the box, so I had to buy and insert my own 64GB SD just to get started. For the price, this player is a total letdown—poor design, unreliable performance, and zero user-friendliness. Save your money and look elsewhere; I certainly wish I had.

Great little mp3 player. Works as good as the ipod nano at a reasonable price.

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.

Rekommenderar inte!! Beställde två spelare som skulle levereras senast den 19 december. Det skulle bli julklappar. Nu är det den 6 januari och varorna har fortfarande inte skickats och jag har inte fått någon uppdatering. Får inte tag i företaget och har alltså blivit av med min pengar. Däremot skickade de två skyddsfodral som jag köpt för cirka 25 Euro. Så dessa har jag hemma och går ju inte att använda till något annat. Så det är också pengar i sjön.

nice player but mine came with a broken usb port

Bought for my daughter and she loves it
