HiBy Digital 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

Easy to use, easy to transfer music, great storage with expandable memory. Sound is good from device, even better when paired with speakers. Great battery life so far. I've been using all day, about 5 hours, and still have over 50% left. Easily pairs with my Bluetooth devices, I was also able to quickly share songs from android to M300 over Bluetooth. I appreciate that it asks for permissions to accept external devices transfers. It's factory set so it doesnt just default to allow anything to access the device. So check your settings if you have any issues. You just need to turn on permissions. The blue color is so pretty, it's vibrant and looks even better in person. Highly recommend the Musicolet app for organizing and playing your music.

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.

Advancing age makes an accurate depiction of the M300's sound difficult. Did you know that a 20-year-old can hear up to 17,000Hz, but a 50-year-old can only hear up to 12,00Hz? Depressing realism. I have no comments on clarity, warmth, or soundstage. There are many YouTube reviews on this DAP that address the sound quality. Let's just say that it sounds slightly better than my Pixel 8 Pro and Moto G 2024 phones, and a little bit below the quality of my 10-year-old Sony NWZ -A17 DAP. The Sony has announced the end of its usefulness by listing downloads as unknown album, artist, and song. The M300 with HiBy Music recognized every characteristic of songs on an SD card inserted with 12,094 songs. This DAP is fully cooperative with syncing from Windows Media Player. I've seen the player have album art where the Media Player did not. I have never been fond of HiBy Music because of its mechanics. The MSEB sound adjustment tool is a very useful aid, but it only works on the HiBy Music app. I downloaded another music app that I consider to be more user-friendly. Choice of apps and streaming is why we need Android on a DAP. This player's Android 13 and Snapdragon 665 chip are more recent and better than Android and chips on many more expensive DAPs. I went with the 4gb/128gb version. I've had trouble with buffering on 3g before, and you can never have enough storage. Watch the sales. My 4gb model was less than the regular price of the 3gb version. Actions are very fast in Android. Screen has low resolution, but it's perfectly fine on a 4" screen. Fingers and stylus don't always work without the firmest touch and there should be a touch sensitivity control in the settings. There isn't. The major lack of screen response is in the upper right- hand corner where the important 3 dots reside. I think there's a screen protector applied that interrupts response. Occasional problems are better than permanent scratches. The M300 has features unlike many DAPs. There's an FM radio that works with earphone cables as an antenna. Scan programs local stations. You can't listen to all of them, as many of them only have static. Stereo doesn't work on many stations. There's a voice recorder with 2 mikes. You can listen to it on a built-in speaker. This speaker is welcomely quiet as further volume leads to terrible sound. 3.5mm cable works on Bluetooth speaker's "aux-in" jack if you want a proper speaker. This cable also works in the car's "line-in" jack. There is an Android setting that disables the speaker. There is also a setting that decides the use of the function button. It comes set to button lock. This is my preferred choice, as the pause/track advance button is sensitive and I can't help but touch it when I turn the screen on to see what song is playing. Screen does not have two-touch response. There is a curious lack of a previous track button. I checked many reviews and watched many videos on the M300. One common criticism is that this DAP is too quiet. HibY seems to be aware of this complaint. They messaged me through Amazon to thank me for my business. Kudos to them for the thank you. I've never had another company respond this way. The message has instructions to go into development settings to eliminate a maximum volume control. This isn't necessary, as all you need to do is go into sound in settings and slide media volume all the way to the right. Now the player can achieve its maximum volume. It's not powerful enough for high ohms headphones, but it works very well at 50 ohms and below. If the headphones and IEMs work on your phone, they'll work on the M300. Battery life has been criticized. Obviously, life is dependent on what you are doing with the DAP. Listening to 320kbps MP3's at 25% volume through 30ohms IEMs with no screen for one hour took 3% of power. Streaming with no screen with IEMs for one hour took 6% of power. If you use Bluetooth, streaming for one hour took 7% of power. Power off for one day consumed 2% of power. My figures would lead to listening life of 14 hours to 33 hours depending on method. That's impressive for what is only a 2000mAh battery. I don't think it could get much bigger in such a small package, and it does not take long to charge. The HiBy M300 is small and more portable than a phone. It sounds better than a phone. Phones battery can be saved for use on phone calls. DAPs do have a reason, especially with Android. There are so many DAPs for selection. I think the M300 just hits the right spot with its features and price.
