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

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.

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.

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.

Just received my M300 music player. After my 160GB iPod Classic finally died I needed another option. Over the decades I had collected just under 50,000 songs and my priority was for something to recognize and play my music rather than adding yet another subscription. After reading reviews and recommendations, decided to try the HiBy M300. It arrived today and I can only say WOW! It fits comfortably in my hand and the layout makes it easy to operate. It is light but looks and feels very solid and well made. Fits easily in a shirt or pants pocket without feeling bulky. The buttons for the volume controls and play/pause are simple to learn and easy to find by touch without looking. The screen size is just right for me and obviously larger than my old iPod. The menu options are nicely laid out and easy to learn. The touch screen is very sensitive. I inserted a micro SD card with some music files which I had copied from my computer library. It scanned and read the 100GB of music files easily without any hesitation. Within just a few minutes my library was ready to go. The sound from the speaker is nice but I don't plan on using that often. I plugged in an old pair of Bose headphones and was very impressed with the sound quality. Even more so with my JBL bluetooth speaker. This little device has a lot more functionality than I will probably ever use but for me and my needs it is GREAT! HiBy has a new fan.

I'm really having fun with the versatility of this player! I couldn't afford a high-end DAP but wanted one that at least ran Android, letting me stream from Tidal as well as play around with the high-quality audio codecs that iPhones don't have. This is the player I picked, and as soon as I unboxed it, I was surprised by how firmly constructed and high-quality it feels. That impression lasted as I started using it. The screen is pretty darn good; it's small and somewhat annoying to type on, but pretty bright and clear for a device this size. As for audio quality, on its own, this player is more than capable of driving nice IEMs and most consumer-grade headphones. I ran 80 ohm headphones through it with no problem at all. Then I learned that I could hook up an external DAC to play with more powerful headphones, which I'm excited about because I could previously only do that with my PC, and this is way more portable. And yes, I tried it, and it works like a charm. Now that I finally have a device that supports LDAC, I've played around with my Sony earbuds, and they sound noticeably better than on my iPhone. If you couldn't tell, I'm interested in all kinds of headphones, wired and wireless, and having a nice high-quality DAP that lets me play around with all of my headphones makes me very happy. I would say the only downfalls are in software. The inbuilt HiBy Music app could use some more polish, and some of the default settings are really annoying, but those definitely aren't dealbreakers. Some might say storage is also an issue, since 32 GB won't get you very far, but MicroSD cards are so cheap now. I'd say that if you can afford a $200 DAP, you can afford a $20 (or less) high-capacity MicroSD card. Overall, I'm having a blast with this player and I expect to be enjoying it for quite some time.

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.

Ok, I'll reserve the right to modify this if they address some things. You need to have an audio cable attached to the 3.5mm out of this and to your headphones or speakers for it to receive FM. Had I known this I would have not bought it. I don't want to make it obvious I'm listening to music rather than just hearing protection while I'm wearing my cans at work. The time would not save twice in less than 24 hours of setting the date and time so this is another bug that needs fixed and I do want to set timers and alarms with this. Oh, and it won't allow me to connect to the Play Store while I do indeed have internet. The Hiby player is buggy too. Some of the menu selections are a dead end and you have to close the app to get back to the main screen. Startup and shutdown are pretty slow. Physically it feels good with decent heft. For my Mac Mini to recognize it you have to run the Android to Mac sharing app, forget exactly what it's called. Oh, and the FM tuning is weird as when you reopen the FM radio app, it's all static/garble even thought the last station is displayed. You have to retune every time you exit the app and get back into it. Music stored on this and played via the 3.5mm cable to cans sounds very good. Don't expect to have an intense jam session though as power is limited, even though it'll get pretty loud, just not jam-worthy.

So I wanted something to replace my old 4th Gen iPod touch because the battery was dying on me. And it was almost $80 just to replace the battery in an outdated iPod. I couldn’t connect to the Apple Store anymore anyways I still like having an actual player because you can’t always have Wi-Fi to stream different music platforms. Apple has discontinued the iPod touch so the only ones you could find out there are referb. So far I love this little device. I loaded up a SD card inserted it and did scan and quickly compiled all of my music. It’s very easy to add music to this player. The sound quality is fantastic. I use Bose, QC headphones and other headphones as well and they also sound fantastic. Battery life seems very good. I tested it and let it run on my headphones for about 15 hours and still had over 25% battery. I realized that players like this aren’t used as often but at this point I love it. Update 10/26/24 Used this a bunch on a recent trip. Batt life is great, the sound quality is outstanding. Of coarse it depends on orig quality of mp3 but this player does a great job with nice headphones !! My only drawback is size of text on the screens and the 3.5jack seems under powered. I have a 128gb card and it loads music very fast and it scans just as quick when u add new music. 1/6/25. I love this little player. My only gripe is that if not using it is in a sleep mode which drains battery. So either always plug in when not using or shut down to not burn battery but then have to wait for reboot every time. Not a deal breaker by any means. The sound quality and storage options far out weigh any short comings.
