AP80 PRO-X Mp3 Players with Bluetooth, Digital Audio Players, Balanced Lossless Music Player, Dual ESS9219C, DAC Chips, Supports MQA 8X/LDAC/apt-X/AAC/USB DAC/DSD256

Prior to this have only used a Sony A45 series DAP. This is an entirely different experience. So far am absolutely loving it. If at a later date have any problems will update. I'm also going to add some stuff people may find helpful. First off it's TINY. And loud. How can such a tiny thing be so loud? Tis witchcraft. The OS is basic very different to the slick Sony screens and to get the most of it use the Hiby Music app. Once it's connected by Bluetooth to the player it works as a controller and can play all the music from a phone or tablet to the player. You have to use wired headphones to listen to the player though. I didn't have a problem inserting the SD card (format on PC beforehand as FAT) just push in till it clicks. Sound wow. I don't have 600 ohm headphones mine are 32 ohm. On my Sony it was turn its volume to max or run them through a headphone amp. On the player alone it will run my 32 ohm Shures in passive mode at a comfy just under 50. So I'm amazed how much gain is in this and this is set to low. My Sony MDR 1am2 at 16ohms is literally running on 10 on the volume level. Playlists are a nightmare to import as it only recognises them as mSu format. I had to redo mine on the Hiby link app. They can be done on the player or through the Hiby Link app. Though I'm sure someone smarter than me know how to transfer them directly. The Ebook function does work. Ebooks will need to be added as txt. files There's Ebook converters online which will convert epub etc to text files. Tip - set the font size to large unless you have amazing eyesight 😁 Only negatives is a small battery but not too bad. It's certainly not as bad as the Sony A105 which if used for anything except wired listening runs out in no time. Only Bluetooth 4.2 so a short range then gets stuttery. As for Bluetooth no automatic codec switching connection of headphones so you have to manually set the codec for whatever headphone restart the player, connect them and good to go. Inputs are standard 3.5mm unbalanced and 2.5mm balanced. Hope my review is helpful.

Sound quality and battery life impressive. Recommended.

First the "bad" : The volume control is finnicky to operate, especially if you have the leather case for the player, but once can also change volume via the touch screen within the "song playing" window. Once you move the volume control the whole display becomes a touch screen slider where you can change volume more easily. The screen is small, and can be really awkward to change things in the E.Q. , your finger will cover the numbers so you can't really see very well what it's changing to. A small stylus will do the job better. But I've found there is absolutely no need to fiddle with the equalizer , the out of the box settings are fine as they are ( IMO ) Sound quality IS amazing. The bass, mid and treble all stand apart beautifully. My car only has stock speakers and even on those it sounds incredible. Put it through a decent set of IEM's or speakers ( I have Edifier speakers in kitchen ) and it sounds amazing. Make sure you enable "Stand by" in the options or you may find the battery flat the next day. When I use it in my car I turn it on and leave it next to the handbrake ( the bluetooth range is good too ) But when I get home I turn off the stereo and the player SHOULD stop too, but a couple of times I've seen it still playing and if you don't stop it your battery will be flat the next day. Stand by mode only kicks in if the device isn't playing. The only other niggle is something that would apply to ALL players, the difference is quality and volume between different mp3's . Some can be quiet and average quality , but the player still manages to TRY and get the best from them. A normalization feature would have been nice, otherwise go through your entire mp3 collection and adjust them manually ( nope!! ). I couldn't justify spending more than this on a player, and for the amount it costs it sounds great. I used to play music via my phone, but doing that AND using Google maps while driving just chewed up battery life, so I wanted a dedicated player. The difference between this and my phone audio is night and day. 100% worth it if you don't want to spend more than £200

Had that product for a year and few month. The cover just snapped out, the device stopped working short after. Also from the start , the output didn’t work properly at times. Company won’t cover the fix as it been just over a year. As it been sold as high standard I was very disappointed of it short life span.

Lovely little player perfect for using while out and about. Small and you hardly know it's there. Very small and very light. It looks a lot bigger in the photographs. If I had a complaint I'd say the touch screen is not very responsive and it resets back to the first track (numerical and alphabetical) after it's recharged.

All round excellence. Beats anything else out there.

I bought this after a magazine recommendation. It works really well as a DAC attached to my computer for headphone use. But that’s not what I wanted it for. Try as I might, I couldn’t get music on to it to use as a music player. You download to an SD card. The instructions are rudimentary and assume all will go well. I tried the help/support team. But they are as useless as the documentation. I have reverted to using my phone for music on the go. Don’t buy the leather cover. It’s a total rip-off.

A wonderful little square of musical joy. Despite the Amazon listing, this neither has 16GB of internal storage or an included 16GB Micro SD Card. An SD Card is required. It is not recommended to try and format an SD Card while in the Hidizs while connected to a PC via USB. I tried this and it kept failing and I thought I had a faulty card. I then used a dedicated memory card reader and that worked. I'd recommend transferring files this way.

Hält was er verspricht. Die stellenweise schlechten Bewertungen hier kann ich nicht verstehen. Das Teil hat einen mega Sound und alles an Einstellungen was man sich nur wünschen kann. Wer vorher über sein Handy mit Player gehört hat wird es etwas unübersichtlicher finden, aber das ist wegen der Größe des Geräts kein Wunder. Ob Metal oder House und HipHop er performt überall gut. Meine SD Karte wurde ohne murren erkannt (256GB SanDisk) Man sollte sich auch eine Hülle zulegen, da die Glasrückseite mit Sicherheit schnell zerkratzt. Klare Kaufempfehlung! Super Player fürs kleine Geld!

Piccolo ma potente e robusto. Suono da DAC vero

Der Hidizs AP80 PRO-X klingt voll, warm und detailreich und verleitet zum langen Musikhören. Er klingt wesentlich besser als der FiiO JM21, der sehr analytisch ist, aber nicht so detailreich wie der Hidizs. Ich habe HiRes-Aufnahmen direkt mit beiden Geräten verglichen und finde Hidizs wesentlich besser im Klang. Das Betriebssystem ist beim FiiO aufgeräumter. Da muss man sich beim Hidizs erst einmal mit auseinandersetzen, was aber schnell geht. Sehr gut ist das sehr geringe Gewicht beim Hidizs von knapp über 70 Gramm, womit er sich ideal zum Joggen oder für unterwegs eignet. - Der FiiO JM 21 wiegt ca. das doppelte Gewicht. Die Akkulaufzeit hält für (nur) ca. 6 bis 8 Stunden Musik hören, wenn man hochauflösende Musik hört. Ich finde, er ist ideal für unterwegs und auch ein Handschmeichler, so schön ist er verarbeitet. Optimierungspotential sehe ich primär im Betriebssystem von Hidizs. Klanglich ist er eine Wucht.

Been a long time DAP user going back to the original FIIO products. Tired of lugging my Fiio M11 pro around for walks and to the gym, so I thought I would try out the Ap80 Pro-X, after all it's Amazon and there is no risk! I was pleasantly surprised at the performance of this unit compared to the much larger and more expensive Fiio. Make no mistake the Fiio is a bit better but it should be for the price and size, however the Ap80 more than holds it own! When I received it I was disappointed at the sound, just wasn't acceptable, however spending the time LEARNING and tweaking the MSEB EQ made all the difference in the world. I got it punchy and crisp ( I lean to wards a V shaped sound preference) I was also able to pair the Ap80 as a Bluetooth receiver with my firecube and TV, which i was never able to do with the Fiio. The only negatives I can see is getting used to the battery life as compared to the bigger Fiio. The other issue i ran into is there is occasional stutter at the beginning of a track, I have quickly realized that it is being caused by the HI-Res album art it loads that I have embedded, I will simply change the hi-res ones to a lower resolution and it works fine. All in all I am very happy with the purchase and will use the unit for all my "on-the-go" scenarios. For those that want a mini DAP I think its worth a shot.

Super Klang für kleines Geld
