Build quality: 5/5 Audio quality 5/5 Customization 4/5 Design 5/5 Ease of use 5/5 Accessories (included/ 4/5 The HiFi Walker H2 is a fantastic device. The build is incredibly solid and feels like it's price, something I think a lot of modern tech misses the mark on, it has a satisfying heft to it and the buttons and click wheel feel fantastic with very little play in their tolerances, It should shrug off most drops and bangs. It's design is very sleek and intuitive, it looks like a premium device as it should at it's price point. The sound it produces completely blew me away, I don't use super expensive earbuds, just the Skull Candy Sesh ANC and the difference between my phone, PC (I use Razer Kraken headset) and this device is staggering. There are songs like From the Start by Laufy and the cover done by Good Kid that sounded pretty good before and it's even better now. I'm able to hear things that I could not before and I'm able to enjoy it to it's fullest. The settings and customization are in depth and loading music is incredibly easy with the included USB cable, and it has a built in DAC in the USB, output, and input aux ports. If you like music and want a fantastic listening experience without completely breaking the bank I heavily recommend picking one of these up.

Amended/Edited Review, December 2022: after using the H2 for some time, almost all the original issues I identified in my initial review have been resolved with my unit, so I'm giving it an extra star. Metadata scanning just took a while to figure out between auto vs. manual, but works great now. The headphone jack issue (I believe) only seems to affect headphones containing an in-line mic (e.g. 3 level barrel plug); regular stereo headphones seem to work fine. I did a fair amount of research on competitive (2022) MP3 players, I really wanted to like the Hifi-Walker H2; I liked it ok, but for the price, I expected a lot more in terms of quality, stability/consistency, and ease-of-use. After receiving mine, I found a grab-bag of qualities-- some excellent, some merely confusing, some disappointing. First, the good news: the sound quality is extremely good. The build quality and metal case inspires confidence and is very good. OTG via USB C is a good feature, though clumsy in requiring a separate OTG cable not provided. The inclusion of a separate, truely "line-level" 1/8" phono jack output, in addition to the headphone 1/8" phone impedence jack is superlative (if only they worked simultaneously). Next, the "middle" points -- features that are ok but could really be improved: the user interface is 'interesting', with the circular selection wheel, but also very quirky -- e.g unlike any hierarchical scheme, there's no indication when you start rotating the selection/menu wheel, where its going to lead you, or where you'll end up. This is complicated by the mixed metaphor of a 'wheel' (suggesting a flat 1-D menu layout) vs. the "Back' button at lower right, suggesting at least a shallow menu hierarchy. The labelling of a separate "Setting" selection (which should be shown as Music Setting!) vs. System Setting is a bit odd. Oh well. Overall, for a MP3 Player with this cost, look & feel I would expect it to also have a FM radio. And WiFi to stream Spotify or others streaming services,. It does offer Bluetooth, but unfortunately I could almost never get the Bluetooth to actually pair with nearby common BT devices, particularly Sony bluetooth speakers, or any other bluetooth speakers. For the very few BT devices it would pair with, it's range was weak & excessively short (<= 10'). I bought this H2 MP3 player mostly to attach as a "fixed, always ready" player (via bluetooth) into my studio Tascam Model 12 hybrid analog/digital mixing console that supports Bluetooth and it does minimally work for that. Luckily, the HiFi Walker H2 did manage to pair with my Tascam Model 12--if it hadn't done that I would have started the return process immediately. When I tested the H2 using its "Line Out" into the Tascam Model 12, I note that using the "Line Out" disables the headphone jack output -- ideally, it would nice to have it output to both the headphone and "Line Out" at the same time. Now for the flat out disappointing points: once I loaded a collection of 50-60 songs on a SanDisk Extreme SDHC 16Gb or 32Gb card, with my MP3's organized by album, artist, genre etc (via the full set of ID3v1,ID3v2 media metadata parameters), I expected the H2 to default to an Auto-Scan, to pick up the SDHC card contents by folder and re-build its indices. No such luck. Under the wheel option "Category" I definitely then expected to find an explicit SCAN NOW option or button. Surprisingly, there is no SCAN NOW option or button, despite the "Setting" option inferring there is one, e.g. allowing one to select "Manual" (whatever that means) vs. "Automatic" (whatever that means); neither setting appeared to work as intended, to perform an active scan of the SDHC media card (here labelled a TF card). Without a SCAN to build the index of a media card's contents by Album, Artist, etc. the wheel option "Category" merely returns "0's" for all the useful categories e.g Artist, Album, Genre, My Favorite, and even "Songs". Only the "Recently Played Songs" category reveals a positive number like 1,2,3 etc. indicating a song played only via manual folder browsing. There is obviously some way to FORCE a "re-scan" of the SDHC media card to re-index it, but I haven't discovered it yet. This is needed to populate the "Category" option's metadata fields like "Album","Artist". Offering an explicit SCAN button for SDHC media shouldn't be a puzzle, it should be clear, up-front, and easy, with the a default behavior that does it automatically like my old cheap Ruizo and every other MP3 player does. Next issue: the player symbology for the "Play" vs "Pause|Stop" seemed backwards to me; when you press the Play ">" symbol, the music player shows a ">" Play symbol when it is already playing a song. When a song is playing, I expected it to display a "||" symbol, since it is already in the act of playing a song, the only logical other action is to Pause the action, not press "Play" or ">" symbol which it is *already" doing. That's a minor logic bug you can get used to. Next: when a song is playing, a small set of vertically oriented sub-options appears on the right margin, and is obscured if an album cover image is underneath it. The interface offers really no indication at all how to navigate to or operate this tiny, vertical set of options. Experimenting reveals the tiny physical "M" button accesses these sub-options, sort of. Once you stumble onto the sub-menu items (Heart symbol for favorites, ">>", "<<" etc, you have to guess that the main wheel is the way you move up & down between them; Again, it works, sort of, but since the iconography and scrolling text is so tiny, due to the overly small non-touch screen, its much more of a chore than expected; a bigger screen would definitely help. Last, the flaky output jacks. Using the headphone jack and Line Out jack was initially frustrating, as these appear very sensitive or fragile for connections, emitted only one side like "mono", and didn't work consistently with several of my high-quality standard 1/8" phono jack cables, studio headphones, and earbuds; I eventually got some to work, but this was NOT a confidence builder, and almost inspired me to return the H2 player immediately, as getting a good headphone (or line out) 1/8" jack to work consistently should be a no-brainer; I finally got it to work in stereo by jiggling it,noting that slight movements caused it to go "mono" again. OVERALL IMPRESSION: See updated review comments at top. Picking up the HiFi Walker H2, you feel its heft and quality and you will like it compared to most others. It has the potential to be a very good MP3 player with some refinements. The interface design could definitely use improvement, as noted above. In my opinion, without a more stable Bluetooth, FM radio, and lack of Wifi, I think its overpriced as it is now. I do enjoy its superlative sound quality.

When the walk h2 came in and I open the box and seen it close up wow this is a nice looking well built. Nice size holding it in my hands to me. Hook up to my computer and started down loading songs from window's 10 1600 so far took about 40mins to down load using the 16gb card that came with it through my computer it maybe faster on other systems. It has a nice 10 band eq, and a few eq setting, a built in higher gain volume setting witch helps a lot for playing through my Dos Bluetooth speaker box. And it sound really sweet smooth sounding playing through little 25 watts tube amp. I have a mix of song formats the walker h2 plays them all even the songs that are not so good sounding it plays them better to me a strong plus for me. 1 cool thing about it you can use the usb port and hookup another memory stick and play songs through usb port another strong plus. I have 5 mp3 players pricing cheaper than the Walker h2. I took a chance on this 1 and very please with it so far this is a keeper. Headphones a meanly use jvc cheap I had for 12 years and pioneer se-mj54-r. i will post a few pics. I have 5 mp3 players all together - Agptek rocker v2, Sony nwze 385, Bassplay p3000, Tomameri, Fiio x1 2nd gen. Just me mind you - Walker H2 is my choice over what I bought so far. If you can afford the asking price trying it out you will be super happy with it. I jump on it when they price came to $129.00. Not sure why 3 stars from 1 reviewer 15000 songs is a lot. No problem with my bluetooth connecting. Date 10/8/2017 This mp3 player super bad nice. Man we took with us on a 5 day vacation inside the big whirlpool room and the out rooms 2 level with nice clean music. The room next to us at 11:30 a night, a tap on the door ask me if we could turn up just a little louder they will be in there whirlpool for about 2.5 hours they have no music to play. I said yes thanks to. The Walker H2 has a loud preamp jack 3.5m that plays louder than using the headphone plug. I got a chance to use it man I was just blown away how loud it played clear smooth sweet music. We use it at the water front and a lot people came up to us asking about the mp3 player and the hole setup we lift it there for 5 hours the worker guys ask us to they will watch it. I have now over 2800 songs on it. Mix music blue's jazz's rock soul, oldies mix. When me and my wife came back people was dancing to my little sound system. I had to answer a lot of question about the walker h2 mp3 player. This is really a nice mp3 player. If walker ever lower the price i will a 2nd 1 to keep for spire 1. Up date 2/23/2018 The walker still going strong no complaints I drop it about 8 times 1 time I was riding my bike. Man it's still works like new. 12/13/2018 i been trying sense July the company did respond back to me ask me about head phone shorting out. when i reply back saying i don't use it for head phones I use it for my home stereo and car audio using a 3.5 plug. they will not return massages back after this. I been messing with them for a few mouths they will not warranty it. the problem is the sound comes out a little distorted bass and highs now. I can't find a number on the sight to call them. so people buying this you make sure they will warranty it. I'm trying to get amazon to step in for help.

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!

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

Very good
