It seems like a great little player, volume is massive and not muted per EU Regs. It has no internal memory as most players do - you will need an SD card to store anything. The card slot is MICRO SD - not standard SD as listed. Also it shows the SD capacity as 512Gb - In fact my 1Tb card works perfectly well, so that is not a limitation. UPDATE After living with this for a few weeks, I'm more and more happy. Sound is fantastic, player is easy to use and reliable. One minor drawback is that the firmware might be better are organising your files - for example, I can select by genre and then by album title, but not by genre then artist. And sometimes the firmware will second-guess you on your own defined attributes - so James Brown is listed under the firmware's genre of Funk, not my genre of Soul. But these are minor quibbles for a unit of high quality and great value for the price. Review: Surprisingly impressed - Feels heavier than it looks, but that could be the metal exterior. Touchscreen for most of the controls. Didn't read the pdf manual, but was able to figure most things out just by playing with different swipes. So ease of use isn't intuitive, but once you know what you're doing it's fine. Screen is bright and clear. Volume button on side is a twisty knob. I've had this thing at 30% - 40% with bluetooth earbuds and it was fantastic. Sound quality was crisp and clear, and I've not played with the built-in equaliser. I bought this specifically for creating custom playlists to manage my autism and so far so good. I wanted a case to carry it and was tempted by a several, until I realised this is compact enough to fit into a GoPro minicase that I had, and the Bluetooth was not affected, so saved some money. Micro SD card: fingernail wasn't enough to push it in as far as I needed to, so had to get creative to solve this minor inconvenience. I used a 64Gb card and I would suggest organising any music prior to uploading e.g. By artist / album etc to make finding a specific song easier. Overall, if you're paying over £150 for something like this, you ARE going to get a quality product that is superior to cheaper alternatives, which I've also used but ended up buying this instead. This is the best Mp3 since my ipod nano. ## Features - [Dual Chips] Mp3 players AP80 PRO-X utilizes dual ESS9219C DAC chips with unprecedented dynamic range & ultra-low distortion. +130 dB SNR, +121 dB DNR, -114 dB THD+N, 32 Bit 384 kHz PCM, supports up to 2.0 Vrms output with analog gain control to reduce output noise at listening levels.

But if you change the card they you will still need to update database . Hope this helps **Q: Does it have seamless playback between tracks or is there a dropout?** A: You can set it to play seamless yes **Q: a pic shows the player connected to a phone, does that mean you can stream music from Amazon or Spotify from your phone ?** A: You can stream music from a phone and use the Hidizs as an external dac when directly connected to it. This should improve upon the phone's sound quality especially when listening using headphones when plugged into its balanced output. **Q: I have all my music on ipod, can i transfer from it onto the ‎ap80 pro-x portable?** A: Yes. If your Ipod content is on a pc hardrive too just copy and paste it to the Hidizs SD card. I've done it with my ITunes stuff and it works fine. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Minor corrections to product description. *by G***T on 25 April 2025* Maybe more later, but just a couple of clarifications to the product description.

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 ## Frequently Bought Together - AP80 Pro-X MP3 Player with Bluetooth, Support Lossless Digital Music, DAP Portable, Dual ESS9219C Dac Chips, Hi-Res, for HiFi Music Grey - Hidizs AP80 PRO-X Leather Case, Custom Made for AP80 PRO-X&AP80 PRO Portable Balanced Lossless MQA Music Player(Grey) - SAMSUNG EVO Select Micro SD-Memory-Card + Adapter, 512GB microSDXC 130MB/s Full HD & 4K UHD, UHS-I, U3, A2, V30, Expanded Storage for Android Smartphones, Tablets, Nintendo-Switch (MB-ME512KA/AM) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/406972915-hidizs-ap80-pro-x-mp3-players-with-bluetooth-digital-audio](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/406972915-hidizs-ap80-pro-x-mp3-players-with-bluetooth-digital-audio) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
