SnowSky/FiiO Echo MINI HiFi Bluetooth MP3 Player, 15Hours Playback, Independent Volume Control with 3.5mm/4.4mm Headphones Outputs (Black)

Good sound and it is smaller than I expected, I thought it would be the size of a cassette tape but it's about 60% that big. The buttons are simple to use but for some reason to me the up and down seem backwards intuitively. I think the only improvement I'd like to see on it besides the up/down button reversal is a touch screen. I've not used bluetooth or extensively tested the battery life but the unit is very small and light and the cassette-like appearance is very retro, but I find I prefer the option to display the album cover art instead. The volume changing does pop up the cassette-look in the lcd even in album display mode. I cant decide whether I like this or the mixxtape similar device better for the device it is. 256gb sdcard works well

Would give 5 stars but top two "transport" looking buttons only control the volume limiter. You can't adjust them to be back/forward or volume control. Must control via Bluetooth headphones, assuming you have them.So to change songs, you need to press power, then back button, then navigate to the next song and press play.I bought this to switch away from my phone since I have to navigate way too much to change songs.There is also no way to skip in a track or rewind. It's play all the way through or nothing.Otherwise it has a nice premium feel, especially the packaging. Audio sounds great. UI is a bit clunky to get used to but get used to it quickly, it's intuitive just enough.Very compact too! Screen has great brightness, adding music is easy as drag and drop to folders. Trying to create a playlist, I couldn't figure out. You can set songs to favorite but very time consuming.

Sounds fantastic: tight bass, clear mids, smooth highs—makes my FLAC library sing. Plays (almost) any file: FLAC, ALAC, WAV, DSD, the works. No conversions, no headaches. Built like a mini tank: metal shell, clicky buttons, fits any pocket. Batter life is fine as long as you don't keep the screen on all the time and bluetooth (BT) has great range and sound quality!🚨 SUPER-HANDY TIP (FW 1.6.2) 🚨DOUBLE-CLICK THE VOLUME BUTTON (NEXT TO POWER) TO SKIP TRACKS!No menu diving—just tap-tap for next, tap-tap for previous. Perfect for one-handed control on the go.TLDR: killer sound, broad file support, and that secret skip shortcut seals the deal.

Bad product. Do not buy. I've been a long-time FIIO user, I have an R7, headphones, amps, and DACs... I bought two of these, one as a birthday gift for my son, but I ended up returning them and wasting my Prime Day purchase. Both Echo Mini's were not able to navigate my 256 SD Card (as advertised). When I tried to sync the media library, it said "Media Library Refresh in Progress", froze, crashed, and reset. Both were incapable of connecting to any of my bluetooth headphones. A pretty but useless product. Looks like it would be nice if it worked, but it doesn't. Do not buy this and spare yourself the hassle of returning it.

I have this Snowsky Echo Mini for 2 months now. I have a whole bunch of these small MP3 players. I have this white headphone that never sounds good at all no matter where I plug it to. This Echo Mini makes this white headphone sound good like my good old Sony MDR. The Echo Mini also has lot of options to customize your music. The screen is great. The animation is amazing. Battery life is ok.However, I can only give this DAP 2 stars.The Echo Mini crashes a lot. Their newest firmware 1.70 just makes it worse. Whenever the Echo Mini does not like your mp3 files, it crashes, freezes for a while, and then reboots itself. You will then lose your library. You will have to scan the memory card again.The UI is not that great. You have to hold the power button for couple seconds to turn it on. You then need to wait another couple seconds for it to finish booting. And then you will need to press the play button to start your music.The USB transfer is very slow. It averages 1-2 mbps. Take forever to copy files to the Echo Mini. I give up and use a SD card instead. The Bluetooth connection is useless. It cannot connect to most of my speakers, headphones, or headsets. The one that can be connected will just get disconnected after couple minutes.The Mini also costs more than any of my other mp3 players and my am/fm radios.2 stars. Avoid if possible.
