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

I did some extensive research for my needs with this device. I have been pleasantly surprised. I hope to eventually find an armband that works with this device for the gym so that I can not have my phone on me at all when at the gym. I am mainly using it for play through house devices and at night to listen to the YouVersion Bible app before falling asleep.

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.

Let the people know not all apps sounds work some do some don't but it is a good MP3 player for music and some apps it is still worth buying it does do updates so they might fix the problem

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.

This little music player has a lot going for it that I was excited about. I’m not an audiophile but I listen to music almost every day, or at least have it on in the background. Sometimes for over 9 hours a day, depending on what I’m doing. I wanted a dedicated music player for this. The m300 is supposed to have 29 hours of playtime and 15 days standby. I know those numbers are usually a little inflated but I was not expecting it to be so bad. Out of the box it had about 80% battery. That first day of use it died in a few hours. I charged it to 100% and did all the things to extend battery life; battery saver mode, no app other than Hiby Music running, no extra apps installed, brightness as low as I could and still see the controls, etc. I also unplugged it overnight to not over-heat/charge the device but in the morning, 9 hours later, it was at 75%. Within 4-5 hours of listing it was dead again. Ive tried several cycles of the battery now and it still isn’t holding charge. It would basically have to live plugged in, which I expect from my 13 year old laptop battery, but not a brand new device. I read a few reviews mentioning poor battery life but assumed some people probably got duds and hoped I wouldn’t. Well, I got a dud too and will be returning mine.
