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

Good product. Packaging was great.

Its nice but too expensive

Until now I was disappointed of the sound quality in this price range : not enough clarity and above all not enough volume. This Fiio has no problem driving my 60 ohm headphones, in a 0 to 120 volume range, level 100 is already loud enough, more would be deafening. And even at high volume the sound is crystal clear, no distorsion, i rediscover my mp3 collection. I'm not specialist in audio electronics (DAC, ...), but to resume what i read in reviews, even if this little Snowsky (Fiio) doesn't really play in the same league as high end devices (at prices starting at 200 €), it's not a toy but a serious player ; for a quarter of the price you get almost the same sound quality, even if it lacks subtile details that only demanding audiophiles will miss. But in the end all the reviewers agree that this player delivers big and enjoyable sound. The ergonomics and user interface are ok but a bit annoying, for example the volume buttons are also used to skip tracks and to fast forward / rewind. A very good point is that the firmware is regularly updated, the last update 2.4 (august 2025) adds a super function : the player can be used as a usb DAC for smartphone or pc.

It works as expected...that vintage touch in a modern package. Audio quality is really good.

El producto está bien y desarrolla su función. Ligero, práctico y fácil de usar.

Before starting, it has no Radio/Spotify or any smart feature capability so move on if it's essential to you. The device does handle all audio formats and when you first load your music onto it, make sure it's on first to make it easier, with a few gigs of internal storage but external micro SD support up to 250 gbs, make sure you refresh your music the storage so your device can detect it. It's a one time thing so once it detects it, it'll recognize it even after you pull out the card. There's also a couple software quirks that I'll discuss near the end. Now then, if you're looking for just a bare bones mp3 player with no BS smart features and lame need for features like Spotify voice recognition or radio, this thing is, an absolute beast! Audio quality is amazing, it's not only louder then most mp3 players and even all smart phones, it sounds significantly cleaner and for you bass heavy enjoyers, you'll get top of the line low end that can sound really loud and clear without distortion, only premium players can rival it. It also can make subpar sound systems sound good (my 13 Mazda for example) and handle good bass, it will also turn good sound systems into high end (such as my 07 Camry and my Sennheiser Hd 25s headphones, which made the headphones sound notably better especially low end). It is tiny and light but doesn't feel flimsy, feels great but do factor that in when transporting it or using wired connections with weight to them. The aesthetic is super cool if you like retro style. Interface is intuitive, use volume buttons to navigate, play/pause to select, playlist looking button to bring up music settings (can also be used for navigation in the custom eq settings to shift through frequencies, using volume to boost or reduce the selected ones), and rewind button to back out. When enabled through settings, it does have fast forward and rewind capability. Now onto the software quirks: Biggest things are Bluetooth and Micro SD card detection: I had no issue with connecting my cheaper 5 below Bluetooth and it even detected some TVs, but it couldn't find my over 6 year old skull candy headphones. While I've had no issues with my SanDisk micro SD card, I used 3rd party software which is easy to find to format it to Fat32 just in case, some users have reported issues with other brands and other formats. It seems like it will work fine with most modern BT devices and cards. Volume buttons are the same as fast forward/rewind and next/previous track when playing music, so it can be a bit touchy, but easy to overlook. Overall, this is one of the greatest MP3 players ever made you definitely won't find anything better without spending several hundred dollars and having to deal with the annoyance of lame smart features! This is what should've been the natural evolution for mp3 players, economic while sounding better instead of the sad state of affairs it's in nowadays. This is an absolute must have device!

Most important things I think you need to know about this player after spending a good few weeks with it: - If the order of the songs is funny, that's because the player shows them in order of the files being transferred. Download a "FAT DRIVE SORTER" (can get on Mac or Windows), and this will reorder the files properly by file name. - Can take a few seconds to switch songs when you use the file browser - this can be quite long (almost 5 seconds for me). - No gapless playback, maybe 1 second in between. - MAX NUMBER OF SONGS: 8192 (even if you have space for more on the memory card, this is the utmost max that will be displayed) - Max SD card: 256GB, it cannot read above 256GB memory cards, and people have had better speed with 128GB or 64GB cards. I use a 256GB card with ~6000 songs, and it gets slow. - Supports .lrc lyric files. Does not support .txt files, they don't show. Remove these if you have them, and also remove any .jpg cover files, etc., as this can cause the player to incorrectly select a different song from the one you want to play (ie, I select track 03, but 04 is played). - When transferring files from a Mac device, you can sometimes get ._temp files. Delete these, and they may speed up the player. Otherwise, if you can live with its quirks, it's a really good player with a retro feel, and it slows me down in this fast tech-touchscreen world. Battery life lasts me a few days of regular use, and I enjoy using my 4.4mm IEMs with them!
