H2 MP3 Player – High Res Audio DAP with Bluetooth5.2, Lossless Music Player, DSD DAC Support, Portable FLAC Player with Line Out, 64GB Memory Card, Expandable to 512GB

This is the best MP3 player that I have purchased by far. The quality of the sound is astounding, you can clearly hear the different tones in the music! I use wired earbuds as I prefer the uninterrupted sound, so I don’t know anything about the bluetooth. The player is a little on the expensive side, but for the quality it’s worth it. It's very solid build and the buttons have a good feel to them. It has some nice features, especially the scroll wheel function. The functions, as with all things, may take a while to get used to. The equaliser isn’t much good as there’s not much difference in the tonal quality. The custom equaliser is very hard to program, due to the fact that it does not have touchscreen, which makes it a hard slog. You have to individually press the back and forward buttons to move the slider up and down, so it takes a long time to change the settings. I also had to paint the buttons as I couldn’t decipher the symbols on the buttons, it’s much easier for me to navigate now , as the original picture shows. Apart from those small things, it’s a very good player and well worth buying.

A high quality item. Having relied upon a Plenue MP3 hi fi player for some 10 yrs, I purchased this item as a back up and to take advantage of the bluetooth connection. Everything was simple to set up (including playlists etc) and I was thankfully very surprised at the excellent sound reproduction of my loaded albums and songs. The Plenue cost twice as much but things have obviously moved on, with this player providing excellent clarity and depth via in-ear, over ear and even bluetooth headphones. The equalizer is a bonus but, in my view, surplus as the 'normal' setting is definitely the best.

All in all, this is an excellent little music player which I've only had 24 hours, but it's been pretty much used constantly. It's not perfect, hence four stars, not five. I won't go into the technical details as there are some far more competent reviews about sound quality, specifications etc. For me, this was a replacement for my wonderful little Sandisk Clip Jam which has just given up the ghost, and is now discontinued. In a sea of what seem to be cheap (and nasty?) players around the £20 - £50 the HiFi Walker is expensive but it's in a different league to all the others. It's very solid, heavy and really well built, the buttons have a good feel to them, and the music quality is pretty awesome. The battery lasts well - on one charge I've been listening to music and talking books for over 14 hours, and the battery level indicator is showing 50% full still. Contrary to some other reviews, mine came with a very concise instruction booklet that is easy to understand and is extremely helpful. Maybe the manufacturer took notice of the previous comments and upped their game. The only negative for me is the user interface, which quite frankly is poor, confusing and not intuitive. That said, everything you could ever want is there, including a sleep timer (frustratingly hidden under 'system settings / display settings / scheduled shutdown'). If you spend some time going through things, the menu starts to make sense, but frankly it should be easier.

I’ve had this mp3 player for nearly four weeks. The build quality is solid, the response from the buttons is spot on, the scroll wheel is far superior in feel than that of another mp3 player I have (you don’t feel that you could put your finger through it) however you can actually navigate round the units’ settings without using the scroll wheel, the back and forward buttons do the same thing. Switching the unit on and off can be a bit fiddly. The sound quality from this mp3 player via the supplied earbuds is superb. Unfortunately, one size of earbud does not fit all, so if these earbuds don’t suit you, you’ll need to source a decent alternative to get the benefit of the sound quality. I contacted the seller prior to purchase to clarify if this item was simply drag and drop on a MAC in order to get the music on to the player. Other sellers have claimed this drag and drop feature but when asked it turns out you need a card reader to drag and drop music if you are using a MAC, to me this is time consuming and not convenient. I was relieved to learn from the seller that it is drag and drop on a MAC as I want to get away from a fruit that desires to take over the world, music transfer is a breeze!! I have a five-year-old tablet that links with my car DAB radio via Bluetooth, version 3 I think, and all the info is sent, i.e. album, artist and song title, unfortunately the Bluetooth version on this mp3 player does not send any information, everything comes up as unknown, this is a huge disappointment. The quality of the sound sent to my car stereo, and a Bluetooth speaker that I have paired it to is not great and nothing like that of my older tablet / version of Bluetooth. I contacted the seller about the Bluetooth function (track information etc., .not the sound quality) and they confirmed that this is known to them, as to whether this will be, or can be, updated in the future via a firmware update, is unknown to me at the time of writing this review as the seller’s answer was vague. The shuffle feature is limited to any song in any order from the folder you choose to start the shuffle with before it moves randomly to any / all the folders you have put on the supplied memory card, thus playing the folders in any order, again this shuffle arrangement is disappointing, as to whether this can, or will be, updated with a future firmware update is also vague. The seller’s advice was to create play lists, to me, this defeats the purpose of a true shuffle feature. Once the MP3 players display screen has “gone out” the unit automatically goes in to the “hold” position, something I’ve never needed before, it is something that can not be over ridden and a nuisance for obvious reasons, you have to press the on/off button to activate the controls, then eventually the mp3 player returns back to the hold position. The seller says that they are aware of this issue which is with their R&D department and it will be fixed in a future firmware update, again there was no indication as to when this firmware update might be available as these things take time, yeah, yeah, yeah!! I also asked the seller when the case would be available in the UK and asked if it was “a clear full face” as the picture on the Amazon web site looked as though it was open faced. They told me the mp3 player was completely protected and the case would be available in the UK sometime, the delay was down to logistics? I ordered one from the USA, total cost was about £22’s, it took two weeks to arrive, no problem with logistics there then, I’m disappointed to inform that the front display of the player is not protected from possible scratches, as it is an open case, the quality of the case appears to be good, only had it for a few weeks as some reviews say the stitching unravels through use. Can’t really comment on the battery life as I keep it fully charged but I doubt if it is as long as they claim it to be, you will need your own wall plug or if you are not in a hurry a computer, to charge this mp3 player. Although disappointed with the Bluetooth feature, the shuffle function and the automatic hold situation - the sound quality, to me, is worth the sacrifice / inconvenience. It’s like everything else in life, once you purchase something, the grass always appears to be greener on the other side – however I’ll never know as I’m keeping this, happy listening!!

I use it in conjunction with a set of Sennheiser HD25 headphones for portable/on-the-go/walking/outside use. The sound quality is truly excellent; suffice to say that it can generally be characterised as neutral, balanced, transparent: i.e. accurate. It fulfils all I would wish for sound quality wise from a portable setup. (My "reference" comparison setup is against a Topping A90 headphone amplifier/D90 DAC + Sennheiser HD800S). It compares very favourably, providing a good chunk of the performance for something in a portable package. In short, the sound is everything you could want for/hope for from a portable and reasonably priced DAP, and could be legitimately described as "audiophile". Because it works as a mass storage device, or you can simply load files directly onto the microSD card, this device works great out of the box with Linux; no fancy drivers required. (I should note I installed Rockbox on the device immediately after getting it (hosted install/dual boot), though the original firmware seems perfectly serviceable/decent. Rockbox enables me to use my 512GB microSD card, whereas the stock firmware is limited to 256GB. Rockbox firmware does seem to have a bug with generating a database, at least with my FLAC collection, however, since I just use the file browser (because all my FLACs are perfectly organised in a <artist>/<album> directory structure), this is of no concern to me)). I haven't tested the Bluetooth or Line Out performance, mainly because I doubt I will ever use this functionality. Listening using only lossless FLAC files (mostly 16bit/44khz), I'm trending toward 10-15 hours battery life. Summary: 1. Audiophile sound quality. 2. High quality output stage with excellent volume adjustability/range. 3. Decent, clear screen. Lock button functionality to stop unwanted button presses. 4. No audio glitches, breaks, or defects (note that I've done nearly all of my listening using Rockbox rather than OF) in use on the move. 5. Fair/reasonable price. 6. Solid build with lovely feel - perfect size and weight for carrying around. 7. Easy loading of music onto memory card/mass storage device, no garbage proprietary software required. 8. Decent, if not exceptional, battery life. Rockbox works very well on it (see caveats above), meaning you could potentially use a gigantic memory card with it if so desired, if you're a geek/power-user. (I'm using a 512GB card.) 9. Included fabric drawstring bag to protect it from scratches is a nice touch. Only costs them a few pennies and means you've got something to protect it right away. Meanwhile there is a metal loop you could affix a lanyard too as well, useful if you're the type of person prone to dropping things!

this is probably one of the best things ive ever bought. the sound is crisp and loud, the bass is thumping and the highs excellent. the screen is clear, i bought some £10 betron earphones and it offers a crisp rich sound, best mp3 player ive ever had, excellent value for money, i had an issue with loading songs onto the player at first but all i needed to do was open the players window on my pc and actually create a Music folder so i can transfer all my songs onto that folder and it worked. the menu is pretty easy to understand - i cant fault it!, its quite heavy as its made of metal with a glass back, plenty of features on the menu to play around with, i put it on max volume and high gain and customised the equilizer to get the best sound out of it

Bluetooth is hopeless. It recognised very few devices, including my Sony headphones. The few devices it did recognise, it refused to connect to. Not fit for purpose. The machine itself felt solid, but the round scroll wheel was hit or miss in its navigation and felt like it wouldn't last a week. Since I couldn't connect any devices to it, I can't comment on sound quality. Maybe this was just a dodgy one, but mine was returned. I'll look elsewhere.

Returned this item within hours of receipt. Reasons are: 1) BT proved to be intermittent. While most devices I have did indeed connect, at least half didn't actually work. Example would be my Samsung smart TV (2022 model). H2 found this device fine and connected. The TV remote would even play and pause music on H2 playlist. Unfortunately, no sound! Not a dicky bird from the TV speakers. My LG TV on the other hand had sound, but wouldn't display music info.Now, I know BT can be temperamental sometimes, but my old HUDL 2 which this H2 was to replace worked on all my devices, despite its age, until it finally gave up the ghost a couple of weeks ago. 2) One of the reasons I purchased the H2 was the supposed 'high quality, loseless audio, DSD' etc. By many of the reviews this was supported. However, I found the sound to be extremely thin and tinny. As an audiophile of many years I'm not silly enough to expect too much from such a device, but nevertheless. 3) To be fair, I cannot comment on the battery performance since I didn't have the device long enough to evaluate. And as far as the build quality goes, again can't say for sure, but buttons did feel a little flimsy. Overall my advice, for what it's worth, would be to look elsewhere, as I now will. Though of course, your experience and opinion may vary.

Estaba buscando un reproductor de música ya que no quería traer musica en mi cel porque me gusta escuchar musica en formato WAV y FLAC el cual llenaba la memoria de éste. Otra característica que necesitaba era que el reproductor no tuviera pantalla touch. Quería lo mas analógo posible y haciendo una investigación vi bastante recomendado este HiFi Walker H2. En mi experiencia en estos meses de uso, el HiFi Walker ha funcionado como lo esperado. Obviamente si quieres escuchar audio con calidad, el aparato por si solo no lo hará. Necesitas audio en formato lossless y un par de audifonos o bocinas de alta definición. En mi caso tengo musica en formato WAV y FLAC, escucho a través de unos IEMs y se escucha bastante bien. El HiFi Walker incluia una tarjeta de 64GB pero yo le puse una nueva de 256GB. Los botones se sienten analogos, justo lo que quería y la pantalla es minimalista y no te distrae. El HiFi Walker solo reproduce musica lo cual es lo que yo buscaba. Nada de apps, ni internet, ni fotos, ni videos. Un reproductor de música que solo haga eso. Tiene bluetooth y funciona bien. No soy fan de escuchar audio con audifonos bluetooth (al menos no cuando realmente quiero escuchar en alta definición), pero la función ahi está.

Tenía muchas ganas de un reproductor de música flac que tuviera un mínimo de calidad, así que un amigo me recomendó éste y desde luego no le puedo estar mas agradecido. La presentación es muy buena, viniendo perfectamente protegido el dispositivo en una plancha de espuma, junto con unos auriculares, un cable de carga y varios juegos de almohadillas para adaptar los auriculares a nuestros oídos. La primera impresión es tremenda, el reproductor tiene un tamaño pequeño, pero tiene un peso considerable lo que siempre me da buena sensación, la carcasa es metálica, con la parte trasera en plástico brillante al estilo cristal.En al parte superior está el botón de encendido, en el lateral derecho los botones del volumen y la ranura para la tarjeta Micro SD, que incluye una de 16GB, en la parte inferior está el conector de auriculares, el de carga o conexión a PC, la salida de línea y una ranura para adaptar una correa. Por último en el frontal tenemos la pantalla lcd, que puede parecer pequeña, pero se ve estupendamente y todos los botones de control, llamando la atención el circulo de control que recuerda a los reproductores de una época pasada. Como recomendación y para disfrutar todo lo posible del reproductor, lo mejor es grabarla en calidad FLAC, de esa manera os aseguro que se disfruta muchísimo más la música y eso lo he descubierto con éste reproductor. Los auriculares que vienen son de muy buena calidad, teniendo la caja metálica y el cable trenzado, consiguiendo muy buena línea de sonido, me han sorprendido muchísimo la verdad, nada que ver con los auriculares que he tenido hasta ahora. La batería no puedo confirmar la duración, pero teniendo desactivado el bluetooth, todavía no he sido capaz de agotarla, si bien cada vez que lo conecto al pc para traspasar música también carga el dispositivo. Es interesante el hecho de que también se puedan conectar cascos por bluetooth y el funcionamiento es muy fácil ya que basta con activar el BT y nos aparece la opción de buscar dispositivos cercanos para vincularlos, si bien yo por calidad, recomiendo el uso con auriculares por cable, la diferencia es enorme. El uso es muy sencillo e intuitivo, y en caso de tener alguna duda el manual es de fácil compresión y te resuelve cualquier duda que te pueda surgir. La verdad es que creo que es la compra con la que estoy disfrutando mas en mucho tiempo.

Very easy to get started with, just add songs to the root of the sd card. Bluetooth works good, the only thing I can complain about is that changing song directly on my bluetooth headphones doesn't seem to work unless the screen is on. Sometimes I can change the song one time but that's it. Other than that it's great, highly recommended!

Very good
