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

Este DAP es bastante bueno. Solo recomiendo comprarse unos buenos audifonos para poder apreciar la calidad de sonido o en todo caso un DAC. Es compatible con Apple music, por si se preguntaban.

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 bit 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.

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.

The only dap that easily plays large videos as well as sounds awesome

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.
