HiByDigital M300 Music Player with Speaker Android 13 OS SD665 Soc Bluetooth WiFi and FM 1280x640 Resolution IPS Display Supports PCM768k DSD256 32G+2TB Expandable Memory Blue

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.

The unit is nice and palm size, longer and narrower than I expected, not a bad thing but caught me off guard. It is light weight, to the point that you would not feel it in a pocket. It has hardware controls for volume and track control forward only, not intuitive but useable. The buttons are easy to use and have a nice response to them. All in all, very good hardware for a sub $200 DAP.Sound, I was not expecting a lot, I had just sent back a Hiby R6 3 because it was just too big and weighty for my need but did, I fall in love with its sound. This is not on that par and I did not expect it to be but for being close to 40% of the cost to the R6 3 it sounds very The sound is clean, slightly a lift in the bass but not much. The sound stage is small, you do not get a lot of with or depth but for what it is meant to be that is fine.Android 13 and the 665 chip seems good and do not think anyone would have any real issue on any music player you choose to use. You could even download an EQ of your own if you like. I just would not recommend using any real social media or gaming apps.If you want a small music player and is easy to use, with quick response that sounds good, Android based DAP I cannot think of one in this price range.

I'm writing this as an amateur to the "audiophile" scene, so I can't exactly explain why this player is great sounding. But I will say that even long after the "excited novelty" phase of receiving this product I'm still noticing that this plays music with far more clarity, power, and overall quality than any phone I've ever listened to music on. And I'm not just talking about only listening to spotify on my phone, I also played WAV and FLAC on my phones, and this player outperforms everything I've used in the past. Just this week I finished listening to an album after a while of not listening to the M300 and just thought, "Dang this player is good".The audio quality is great both on bluetooth and aux (which I recommend). Part of the reason why I wanted this DAP was because of the bluetooth capability, as my car doesn't have an aux port. Anything that's played over bluetooth I've usually found to be lacking but I'll be danged if this doesn't play great on my car stereo. And when I want to listen with my headphones it plays wonderfully. It's great for beginners because if they don't have in-ear monitors then they'll still notice a difference, and then can use different wired headphones if they wish to notice the sound difference.It's probably nothing too amazingly outrageous compared to a $1,000 DAP but I would say this is the perfect jumping-off point for getting into DAPs and high quality audio. It's small, sturdy, easy to use, and has a pretty solid punch for the price. You can't go wrong with this little thing, so give it a buy.
