96GB MP3 Player with 90 Hours Long Battery Life,Bluetooth 5.0,Phinistec Z6 Digital Audio Player with Sturdy and Durable Metal Frame, 2.4'' IPS Glass Screen,FM Radio,Support up to 256GB (Black, 96, GB)

For some time now I've been wanting to get back into listening to my music again but I'm so jaded and beat down by all of the complicated technology. I'm someone that owns multiple game consoles and tons of electronics and I code but I wanted something low tech for music. I didn't want to use my phone because it doesn't have capacity for microSD or songs. This thing is just absolutely amazing. You don't need a subscription, you don't need any fancy stuff where you sign up your email, you don't need any complicated technology, and it's got capacity internally and the capability for a fairly large microSD card (roughly 256). On top of all that when you put the microsd card inside of this thing boy does it keep it tightly in there. You will probably need a SIM injector or a paperclip in order to fully insert the MicroSD. It can play audio out loud through its own speakers which are pretty decent and has an equalizer that you can customize. It also has a function to work as a tape recorder but while the quality is good it sounds like the thing is like 6 ft away from you even if it's directly in front of you. It can also play live radio without needing any kind of subscription but in order to do that you'll need to plug the headphones physically into the headphone jack. The best part is that it also provides support for Bluetooth headphones and it's pretty easy to connect. It has several other smaller settings and takes a bit of use to memorize how to navigate the menus. However the fact that it uses a glowing LED backlit digital button interface is really cool. You can play videos on it if you want but it's a tiny screen and I wouldn't recommend that. Standby time for battery is absolutely 100% insane. You just tap the power button once and it'll go into standby and then if you want to turn it on you tap and hold the power button for a few seconds. It has a shuffle feature for music and a randomizer and it even lets you organize your music between the physical storage and microSD. I know most people probably wouldn't think to buy one of these but if you just want something for music this thing is really neat and nifty. It's also roughly the size of a credit card and is very durable and because it's made of glass with metal buttons it feels absolutely bad@$$. I would 100% recommend if not insist that you look for the leather case that goes with this and use that for protection. If you can get a glass screen protector I would recommend that as well. It does a pretty good job if it gets a little wet but it's not water resistant. It also charges via USB c.

The product is great and the battery is extremely good I has not had to charge it sincerely I gotten it and it's only been a week so far I been using it as my sleeping mp3 player to help me sleep at night and so far it's done the job The loading the music was easy because I know how to get around the slow process of getting the music into the player itself I use. Sd card and it recognizes it and I haven't filled it yet with my music files The Bluetooth is good and the sound output was very low at first but when I got a ahold of the seller email them about it they immediately fixed the problem and the Bluetooth output is louder this time where I don't have to set the headphones high just as mid way The buttons on the side are solid and I sometimes use the Bluetooth for changing the volume because I want to save on the wear and tear on the buttons and the wired headphones I have are great with them The screen is good I can see it at night and not as much glare in my face the interface is great easy to get around just like a ole school player in the 20's Perfect for the money value if something happens to this one I will buy another one because the battery is great in it and making it so much easier for me not to worry about it where was this player back in the 2000s I wish it was there at the time I cannot express how much I love this mp3 player and the support team behind it so fast and responsive for me thank you making this perfect player I only wish I could've gotten the case with it that would been nice but I didn't know if it had a case now I know I be buying it next to keep my player from getting scratched up the screen part and the back I don't use the shuffle part on it

When the player first arrived I was impressed. This thing is solid. (Could be used as a defensive weapon if you were attacked while jogging! You wouldn't want to get hit with it.) Definitely of sturdy build. And it was fully charged. But before doing anything I applied the screen protectors to the front and back of the unit. Unfortunately, as others have mentioned, it's quite difficult if not impossible to apply them without a few air bubbles remaining beneath them. Annoying but not the end of the world. The next step was to pair it with some earbuds. And though I have a few pairs and other Bluetooth equipment, no matter which I chose or what I did, only one channel would play--even though I would get the message from both channels that it had successfully/fully connected. So... After much troubleshooting to make sure the error wasn't mine or with my equipment, I rechecked the manual and found the instructions to email the manufacturer. Thankfully, the long story short is they couldn't have been more helpful, responsive, and gracious. I was immediately promised a free replacement as they felt the fault lay with the unit (a relief to hear) and within a few days the new player arrived. Fortunately it worked without issue, and I found the sound to be excellent. I actually ended up connecting it to some fairly high-end stuff and listened for hours as it was quite enjoyable. The manufacturer also recommended and supplied a software update which provided a number of upgrades and a few fixes, including a customizable EQ. (Much appreciated as the presets, as others have noted, to say the least are less than good.) But truth be told I'm not into bells and whistles. I don't want 5,000 features and crappy audio. And so I'm very happy with the player. If you choose good source material this player will deliver Great sound. And with the capacity now of this and many other players, plus how much you can easily add to this one, there's no reason to even use MP3s or other such formats. Because of limited capacity years ago compression was an absolute necessity. But no matter what may be said or claimed about it, it Always results in at least some loss of quality. Listen for yourself. I've had the great privilege of hearing some of the best audio equipment that money can buy, but I am a relativist. As I've said in other reviews it makes no sense to compare a Ferrari with a Pontiac--even though the Pontiac might be quite good for the money (I drive an old Vibe that has nearly 240,000 miles on it, but it's never broken down, doesn't use oil--literally no more than a few ounces between changes--or other fluids, and still gets over 30 miles per gallon highway. It's reliable and economical, but again it's no super car.) And so at its price point I see the performance of the Z6 in a very positive light. I learned from our correspondence via email that Phinistec is in it for the long haul, and they plan to roll out more models, features, and upgrades this coming year and beyond. And that was good to hear. As for the Z6, I can't stress enough how happy I am with it. What is more important than sound quality when it comes to audio equipment of any kind? Yes, it could use a belt clip, some improvements as far as the interface and so forth, but again much of that is in the works. A great unit if you care about audio... (I did not try the video or ebook features and so forth. Only the player section.) Edit: Forgot to comment on the sound quality of the internal speaker. And I'm trying to be kind here because the manufacturer was so gracious and helpful with resolving the issue with the first player I received... But it's just not good... Suffice to say I wouldn't count on using it for much. Hopefully an update for that is in the works as well.

I ordered this after reading reviews that the company was responsive and fixed some bugs and annoyances in the software. This is rare for companies to do this and tells me they stand by their product and want to make the consumer happy and make the product the best it can be. I applaud them for that and they got my business. I was also impressed with the packaging and what the unit came with. This player is built like a tank. It is as heavy as my cell phone which is to be expected since it has heavy batteries in it that give you 90 hours of listening pleasure. I use it for trips and working out. It is probably not good for running unless you strap it to your arm. The sound is great for audiophiles. The player comes with built-in 32 GB. It took about an hour to transfer 500 songs in FLAC format. I also bought a 128 gb high-speed card for it. I have not loaded it yet but will do so via my computer. Note that you will need to format the card to FAT32 format. You will not be able to do this with a Windows Computer. I used a program called Rufus to format the card. I will also transfer FLAC files directly to the card. Also, keep in mind that the speed of your file transfer depends on the hardware you have and the speed of the card itself. The card I have is about 130MB/s. I did a test and put the card it in the player and uploaded it connected to my computer the player. It took about 3 minutes per 40 minutes album worth of songs. I am not sure what people are talking about adding playlists. Maybe this was an issue with older firmware? I use a free program called MusicBee and create my playlists within it. When I connect the player to my computer, BumbleBee automatically acknowledges the Z6 and the extra card I put in it. I set up BumbleBee so that when the player is connected it automatically uploads the songs and whatever playlists I create into the Z6. I am glad the company added an equalizer component. Every set of phones and buds I have sounded completely different and every set of ears are different. EQ is a necessity. It would also be nice if they added auto volume leveling. I know that is asking for a lot at this price point. I am getting ready to go on a 7-hour flight and I am not at all worried about the battery life of this player. My earbuds will give out long before the player will. Some folks are complaining about the price, but to be honest given the responsiveness of the company and how well this thing is built....it is well worth the price. The built-in speaker is okay for listening to such things as audiobooks and playback for things you record. It is annoying for me to listen to music on it. There really needs to be a persistent switch in the software to cut off the speaker. Every time you disconnect your Bluetooth the speaker will play. This is not cool if you are in places like a library. For those having issues with showing album art. I embed album art in each of my files roughly 200x200 pixels. They will then show up on the player. You will need to do this through whatever jukebox software you may use to catalog your songs. Most modern software does this now. Like anything, once you use the player, the controls will become intuitive to you. It's a pocket player, not a $1000 cell phone. The Bluetooth connects fast. I connected this player to 2 cars. Both vehicles connected easily via Bluetooth. I have an older 2011 Lexus with older Bluetooth and a newer Kia with newer Bluetooth. The radio controls on both cars changed songs. The song titles did not show up on either car. This is not an issue with the cars, but an issue with the player not pushing titles via Bluetooth. It would be nice if the unit did this. I did not physically connect the unit to see if song titles would show on my cars. The Bluetooth also connected well to about 5 different headphones and earbuds I used with the player. One thing that totally annoys me is how small the font is on the song titles and they are in dark red on a black background. It is extremely difficult to read and people with sight issues are not going to be able to easily read it. At least make it white or yellow on the black background so it shows up. There is enough screen real estate to make the song titles a larger font that has better readability. Would I buy this product again or give it as a gift? Absolutely. I asked the question, what are the codecs for the AVI/AMV containers? Of course, some dufus answers it's not a video player. They apparently did not read the description and trolls like that are pretty useless.= and should just stay under their bridge, The instructions regarding how to format the video are nonexistent. After fiddling with it and trying 20 converters that did not work and wasted 6 hours of my time trying to figure out the correct formats and which codec it uses, I finally found software from 2012 from another vendor that worked with this player. It may be the same vender, who knows? Do a search on " Ruizu Video Convert Tool " and this will work. This tells me that the software for this player is very outdated and explains why there is no MP4 container built in. It is using some old proprietary Chinese codec that got around licensing issues. Which one? I do not know. I am dinging this product 1 star just for listing that the player plays video as long as it is converted. No, it will not easily convert and the company provides no link or info on where to get the correct software. ps.. Please provide a website so we can download firmware updates instead of relying on someone to email us a file. It would also be cool if you open-source the code on a site like GitHub so some of us can fork it and make cool interfaces for it. This really is really a nice piece of hardware. Note: I am updating my review. Even though this player still works, the company is totally unresponsive. I've emailed them for updates and just get crickets. They assured people that they would provide updates for their software which was old and wonky. They show they have software and firmware updates on their website, but do not provide links and tell you to email their team. They are MIA.

Not sure why the bad reviews. It works as intended, response time is well, battery last long and lot of storage for music. Simple to transfer songs onto and quality sound through the headphones is great. Also, the interface is simple to maneuver through as well as the button response being well. Overall quality is 10/10. Glad I can have a place just for music and nothing more.

The good is: sound quality meets the price point, I hooked this up to a Onkyo receiver with Klipsch R-50 speakers and it sounded good Also for the price point the hardware was fine, could be better but for 40$ It is what i expected Lastly the customer service response email is fast (24 hrs every time) and replaces broken units no questions asked, however they are not English speaking so the communication is a bit lost sometimes. Unfortunately when it comes to Firmware that is where it all falls apart. Its a combination of bugginess and poor user interface design. The company tried hard to work through the problems, but ultimately i had to return it. to give a better understanding of why here is the last email i sent to the company: "Dear Phinistec, I'm sorry, but every solution you offered has not improved the issues on the player. The reason I am seeking a music player capable of holding 256gb of files is because I intend to put 10s of thousands of tracks and albums on it, so if the firmware is incapable of organizing them in any reasonable manner then it is useless. I have been patient with this player hoping for a solution, but clearly there is currently not enough experience or understanding of music organisation to build the right firmware. Firstly, In the folders mode there should be no other organisation than alpha/numeric by file and folder name. organizing by timestamp of when it was added to the card has little to no value and creates an issues. The main issue is when loading files a file cache will load multiple files at a single time and if two file start at the same time the smaller of the file will finish loading first before a larger file, so if you drag and drop an album on the card if there is a 2 min song that comes after a 10 min song the 2 min file will load first and therefore be out of order when I try to play album from the file. Another issue with this is, what about when I get a new artist that starts with A and load it onto the card, It will be at the end of the list? This makes no sense, over time any edits you make to your collection will further dis-organize your collection and the only remedy is to delete and reload the entire card, this is not viable. The music function, which is the keystone of a portable music player, is so far from being what it needs to be. There is no reason that the artist function should break up "Jimi Hendrix" into 50 different folders with one song in each, and the Jimi's are not all in a row so there is clearly an issue with alpha/numeric. Also note that the artist data on those tracks was edited as a group so their tags are identical, there is no reason these should not be grouped into the same folder. Also as mentioned in previous email at no point has the player displayed the song name, always displays the file name NOT song name. i.e. 1-02 Sugaree.mp3, instead of Sugaree In the future software needs to be able to read all of the metadata in each file and organised as such Artist - Album - Disc Number - Track Number - Song Name (from metadata, not file name) Therefore it knows which comes first i.e. song: Deal, disc: 01 of 02, track: 10 of 10, album: Live 1982, artist: The Grateful Dead. - would come before song: Shakedown Street, disc: 02 of 02, track: 01 of 07, album: Live 1982, artist: The Grateful Dead. -This being the first track of the 2nd disc There is also a metadata form for Artist sorting, This is not necessary but does give more customization for how to organize music and is mostly used to solve the problem of "The" and "A". For example if I wanted "The Grateful Dead" to list with the G's instead of the T's, I would fill the artist sorting form with "Grateful Dead" without a "The" and it would be listed in the G's even though the Artist Form Is still labeled "The Grateful Dead" which would still be displayed as the artist label when the tracks are being played. Other features that are important, Ability to keep the files indexed after the player has shut down, in order to prevent the player from having to search for 3-5mins every time it is turned on. The search should only be necessary after editing the card or internal memory or changing the card, but once it searches it needs to be good until a change is made. It is very inconvenient to wait for this search EVERYTIME you turn on the player, this is the only player I've ever owned that does this. I would also add there should be no cap or an extremely high cap on the number of songs that can be organized with the music section, with 256 and 512gb cards it is very easy to have 50,000 to 100,000 songs on a player, I have over 7000 Phish tracks and 12,000 Grateful dead tracks alone. And live music collectors like myself are a huge part of the market for high capacity portable music players, since this volume of live shows is not available on platforms like Spotify etc. In addition to that there's some debugging to iron out such as why you have to open the card folder just to get the artist folder to show anything, this is clearly a bug and not intentional, as well as other little things like album art sometimes show sometimes not etc. Because my confidence in your ability to fix these issues in a timely manner has depleted, I will need to return this player through amazon while my return window is still open, Thanks for understanding. If at some point in the future you feel the firmware has been overhauled and meets these specifications send me an email and I will consider trying your product again. There are a lot of players out there and they all have quality hardware but the firmware is what is lacking in basically all of them. This Quality firmware seems to be the holy grail of a Quality player. The discontinued Apple Ipod Classic had the best Firmware of any MP3 player that i have ever used, and believe me I have used a lot. The Ipod Classic limitations lay in it's fixed HD capacity, which was high in their day but at 160gb is low for today, and also music licensing and PC compatibility make the Ipod unusable for Linux desktop operators like myself. If you could create firmware as streamline as that your player would surely work its way to one of the top rated players out there. This is a different tangent but have you considered a PC software that integrates with your player, so I could load my songs into your PC player first to give more editing capabilities and to see how the file will organize once on the player? Thanks Evan Gamble" Review note, I did not test Bluetooth, record, video, pictures, or the radio. The built in speaker is similar to an older Iphone, not great, but its useful for troubleshooting audio output, and can be used for white noise to get a baby to sleep.

I use my MP3 in bed at night for listening to audio books, old time radio programs that I download, and occasionally FM radio. The old-time radio programs are entertaining and they help me fall asleep. Used this way, the MP3 player is often left "on" all night long after I fall asleep. I have used this player 3 nights in a row without recharging, meaning the battery lasts at least 24 hours without recharge. I have yet to run the battery down to nothing. I like the size, having a positive on/off switch, and volume control buttons. The quality of sound is good for my use. While the controls are shown in the sellers posting with all the functions, they are not printed on the face and are not visible until the power button is tapped, then only backlit visible for about 3 seconds. The backlight is great when using it in the dark as I often do, it’s just a bit short. The charging cord is USB -C, which goes in either way, making the connections easy.

I've been using this mp3 player a lot since the August of 2024, and its held up really well. I used a different mp3 player for a while that used a plastic cover that scratched a lot which wasn't that great for visibility. This one uses a glass one and and is just a lot better well made than every other mp3 player that this price range that I have ever used especially since this is one of the only ones I could find actually made with a metal frame and not from some cheap plastic. Its also had more file support compared to every other mp3 player at this price range for the most part for what I could find. The UI design isn't perfect although its about the same in quality or better than most others in the price range regardless which is pretty good for the price and they also have actual product support and replied to be within a day when I emailed about a software update. It has a 32gb nand ic built in and even though its not the fastest the point that it allows a microsd card to be added up to 256gb is really good if its too slow for you. Its rather heavy however, but it makes sense due to the 90 hour battery which makes heavier than my own phone, but that type of battery life in an mp3 player seems pretty unheard of in my opinion even for compared to more expensive ones out there.

I bought this player for my partner and these are his thoughts; My hopes for a great experience were confirmed. It feels very good in the hand and the overall size and weight is ideal. The aluminium and glass build feels premium and like it was built to last a lifetime. The physical controls are tactile and precise and adds to the premium feel, the Bluetooth is stable the battery life is outstanding. I would have preferred physical navigation buttons but the capacitive controls are fine once you get used to them. The actual sound itself is very imressive for the cost point. It is very loud when you want it to be without losing too much clarity. While I was satisfied with the navigation system there were areas that I felt could have been better. One was the user interface, I felt that a slightly bigger font would have helped. Well! that has now been addressed with the recent firmware update.. V2.6 (available via email and easy set up), the update has addressed this particular complaint for me. Along with this, there are now numerous other navigational and visual tweaks which makes it more user friendly. To sum up, this is an easy recommendation from personal experience. As long one can adjust their expectations and not be expecting a Astell&Kern, FiiO or Sony, I think most people will be very satisfied with this Media Player.

I buy a lot (and I mean a LOT) on Amazon so I rarely leave reviews. But every now and again a product deserves to be praised. This is one of those times. I've had 'high end 'Chinese MP3 players before and I've always been happy with them. my last one I gave to my sister because it didn't have bluetooth. While searching for a small, cheap clip player for running I came across this one and it caught my attention. 'add to cart, next, next' etc then slowly walk to the door. The trusted Amazon lightning fast delivery. What I like: Build quality is great, way above its price. Rock solid, great screen and buttons. USB-C and TF card slot. Neither of these are unusual today, but Micro USB connections (Which I don't like) are still around. Sound quality - even via bluetooth. Oneodio A70's and Soundcore A2's or wired AKG Studio Pros the highs are crisp and bass is full without adjusting the stock settings (320kbps mp3s from various sources). Reviews have said this player is bass heavy. This is true, but I like it. Mids are hit and miss, but this might be my old ears being un-cooperative. User interface - typical Chinese. Not fantastic, not bad. like all players, you need to get used to it. Its not that hard. Playlist and folder play support - I rarely use playlists. Folder play works. enough said. Bluetooth connection - Fast and secure, not 100% perfect but greatly improved. The odd cut out near wi-fi devices. either way the cuts are acceptable and predictable. Radio reception - Much MUCH better than my previous 'high end' mp3 players. Battery life - fully charged via USB when transferring songs to the internal memory. around 3-4 hours Bluetooth playtime and I'm still on 4/4 bars. Price - €40,49 incl shipping from Amazon (and covered by their rock solid guarantee) you show me a batter cheaper player, you can't. What I don't like: A designated case is no where to be found online. This is a fragile player with glass on both sides. I'm a clumsy oaf - if I drop this 'as is' its dogmeat - no second chances. There are universal options but size is going to be hit and miss. Conclusion: If you're looking for something a step above the regular low price Chinese dedicated MP3 players and you're willing to accept its non-standard form factor then look no further. It's something a little bit special, not perfect (personal preference plays a big role here), but not a gimmick and at it's current price I can recommend it all day. Whats in the box? - I have no idea. I haven't even looked. Dig?

The build quality is outstanding for this price - But!!!! The software is horrible. It takes time to get used to. That's why only 4 stars

Does not do what I want which is to use the radio, and set up Bluetooth. Even asked Google. I'll give the manufacturer a month and it might be going into the rubbish bin.

Easy to download, easy to use, good quality 8/10
