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.

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.

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 12,000Hz? 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.

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.

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.

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.

Pros - Works with AirPods 4th gen (unlike R3 ii 2025 which is unfinished product that crashes) - Android runs pretty smooth for the most part - No bloat apps, just couple of basic apps like calc, calendar, Play Store - HIBY Music app is pretty decent, has more options and customizations than most music apps - Plays all audio files well as expected - Screen/resolution is ok - Buttons on the sides to pause/previous, next track as well as volume up/down pretty handy - Appears to be fingerprint/scratch resistant matte glass back - No noise Cons - WiFi/YouTube drains battery pretty quick - maybe couple of hours of YouTube on full charge - Not much audible difference between M300 and iPhone audio quality - Built-in speaker is quiet and complete garbage, same with 2 built-in mics - Feels thick and bulky in hand, kinda like iPod Classic - Should cost around $80-100 for what it offers With that said, I recommend the devicer, wish it was thinner.

Really really enjoy this player. I had many, including Sony etc. but this one has several things going for it. For one, its Android, like many of the current crop of players, but this one has something most of the others don't, an internal speaker. The speaker isn't hifi, and its mono, but its still very useful for when you dont really want to wear earbuds or headphones. Install a TV app, or watch YouTube, it's all possible with this unit. Hi definition audio like Tidal or the new HD Spotify sound great with good headphones. I've used it with Sony WM1000, Bose Quiet Comfort and Focal Bathys and it doesn't disappoint. Operation is smooth, no freezing. The earlier version had some kinks but they've all been worked out in this model. Love it.
