HIFI WALKER H2-128GB MP3 Player Bluetooth 5.2 Hi Res Music Player Flac Digital DSD Lossless Audio Player High Resolution Portable DAP Player, Two-Way Bluetooth, 512GB SD Card+Expandable Memory

**An Audiophile's Secret Weapon: The HiFi Walker H2 Review** **★★★★★ A Stunning Return to Pure, High-Fidelity Music** In an age of endless streaming subscriptions and compressed audio, the HiFi Walker H2 isn't just another MP3 player; it's a deliberate and rewarding journey back to the soul of music. After spending several weeks with this device, I can confidently say it is one of the most impressive and satisfying tech purchases I've made in years. **Sound Quality: The Main Event** Let's cut to the chase—this is why you're here. The H2 delivers on its promise of high-resolution audio, and it does so spectacularly. * **Clarity and Detail:** Listening to FLAC and DSD files is a revelation. You hear nuances you never knew existed in your favorite tracks: the subtle intake of a breath before a vocal, the texture of fingers on a guitar string, the precise decay of a cymbal. The soundstage is wide and immersive, placing instruments and vocals in a distinct, holographic space. * **Powerful, Clean Output:** Don't let the size fool you. The built-in amplifier has more than enough power to drive a wide range of headphones, from efficient IEMs to more demanding over-ear models. The background is black and silent, allowing the music to shine without any hint of hiss or noise. * **DSD & Hi-Res Support:** The ability to natively play DSD64/128 files is a feature often found in much more expensive players. It adds an extra layer of analog-like smoothness and detail that is simply breathtaking. **Bluetooth 5.2: A Seamless Modern Touch** The inclusion of Bluetooth 5.2 is a game-changer. The connection is rock-solid, with a fantastic range that easily covers my entire apartment. Pairing with my wireless earbuds and noise-canceling headphones was instantaneous. The codec support ensures that the wireless sound quality remains excellent, making it perfect for workouts or commutes without sacrificing the core hi-fi experience. **Design and Usability: Form Follows Function** * **Build Quality:** The aluminum alloy body feels premium and durable in the hand. It has a satisfying weight that assures you of its quality without being bulky. * **The "Dumb Phone" of MP3 Players:** This is a **dedicated music player**. There are no notifications, no apps, no distractions. The physical buttons are tactile and easy to navigate by feel alone. This forced focus on just listening to music has been a wonderfully therapeutic experience. * **Battery Life:** HiFi Walker's claim of 15 hours is accurate for high-resolution playback, and you can even extend it further by using lower-resolution files. It easily gets me through a week of daily use. **Considerations (Not Quite Drawbacks)** * **The Learning Curve:** The user interface is simple but not as slick as a smartphone. Scrolling through a large library can take a moment. Organizing your music via folder view is highly recommended for the best experience. * **Screen:** The screen is perfectly functional for selecting music and viewing track info, but it's not a vibrant smartphone display. This is a trade-off for the incredible battery life. * **No Streaming Services:** This is a file-based player. You load your music via the microSD card (128GB internal is a great start, but the expandable storage is essential for large libraries). If you live and breathe Spotify or Tidal, this isn't for you. **The Verdict** The HiFi Walker H2 is a niche product that absolutely nails its niche. It is for the music lover who owns a collection of high-quality files, for the commuter who wants a distraction-free device, and for the audiophile on a budget who refuses to compromise on sound. **Who is this for?** * Audiophiles seeking a pure, high-quality sound without a four-figure price tag. * Anyone with a collection of FLAC, DSD, or other lossless music files. * People wanting to disconnect from their phone and rediscover the joy of focused listening. **Who might want to look elsewhere?** * Those whose primary music source is streaming subscriptions like Spotify or Apple Music. * Users who need a touchscreen and a slick, app-based interface. **Final Thought:** The HiFi Walker H2 doesn't just play music; it *respects* it. For the price, the combination of sublime sound quality, robust build, and modern Bluetooth connectivity is virtually unmatched. It’s an excellent item that has rekindled my love for music. **Highly recommended.**

I've had it for about a week now, and it is a great Digital Audio Player, with one small thing. When the player goes to sleep, it is hard to get the player to reactivate. You have to push the power button down for several seconds and then it takes several seconds for it to come back up. Otherwise good working piece of equipment. The default sound from the player is good and loud, if that is what you want. Volume control is very easy to manipulate, if you are using in dimly lit areas.

The interface is easy to use. I really like the heavy compact build. Especially it being metal. The battery life is great as well and the ability to drag and drop songs was very easy. Including adding cover art to them. I'm using Bluetooth and the sound quality is truly amazing, much better than my phone. I also got the case for it and like how tight and compact it keeps the device. Bluetooth can be a tad iffy with some devices, as my beat pros 2 could not work with them but my aftershokz did. The EQ modes are also great. Overall I'd highly recommend. I use it for the gym and for walks. Easy to use and easy to program.

Stock firmware was OK and it worked well enough. I flashed it with Rockbox and it's incredible how fast and responsive it is now. The Screen is a little small but its still a great DAP. Much simpler and faster than the HiBy R4, which has more features but is also bigger, heavier, and much more expensive. Drives my IEMs no problem and the sound quality is solid. Compared to the SnowSky Echo Mini which is just a bit cheaper, this is much better. Can handle more songs, does a better job with navigation, and is just all around better. Bluetooth was OK under the stock firmware but flashing Rockbox loses that feature.

EDIT: Dear Lord, I take it all back; this thing is absolute garbage and the company is trying to make ME pay for shipping when their product is faulty AND I purchased the warranty package. Buckle your seatbelts. Edits will be in brackets. It [functions], but for what I paid, it's not even close to worth it. [I paid $130; I now see the price is lower at $112.] Positives include the Bluetooth connectivity, but the range is VERY short. If you're in the same room as the device but on the other side of that room, chances are you're going to start hearing static and skips. [Company reached out and said this shouldn't be a problem, and they send me a second device, which had a WORSE Bluetooth range. Also, if there is anything between you and the device (such as a door) then it doesn't matter if it's three feet away, it's going to go silent.] Another positive is the different jacks for headphones or output, output being one that puts out a significantly louder sound, but after maybe two uses, it doesn't work with my AUX cord anymore. It still works with headphones (not helpful), and I thought it might be my cord that was the issue, but the cord still plays perfectly when connected to the headphone jack, so it must be something in the output itself. [They once again said this shouldn't be an issue and sent me the second device referenced above; this one didn't work with the AUX cord even once. I also got out a brand new AUX cord and tried that to ensure it was the device and NOT the cord that was the problem. In both cases, you can play through the headphone jack, but the output/line-in/whatever you'd like to call it jack doesn't work at all.] Battery is eh, but I charge my devices every night, so it hasn't become an actual problem for me. Still, after a day of listening, I don't expect to see the battery going to the halfway mark or lower, especially when I have Bluetooth turned off. [They also said this shouldn't happen and sent another device, but I'm so fed up, I didn't even test this part to see if it was better on the new device.] My biggest grip[e] with this thing has to be the vast quantity of issues with the music playing itself. To set the stage, I have a little over 2,000 songs from all different albums and artists on this device. I like to put my entire library on shuffle and just listen to whatever plays. When I do this, I should not be hearing the same song multiple times in a couple hours; it should have some way of knowing what was already played and ensure it doesn't play that again. (And yes, I did check to ensure I didn't accidentally have multiples of the songs). It also does this when you're shuffling through the songs on an album or artist; some songs will play five times, some will play once, and you have no idea what it's going to be. The skipping is extremely weird and inconvenient as well, which I'll try to explain with a scenario below. I'm on Song 3, and I skip ahead to Song 4. I then decide I want to listen to Song 3, so I skip backward to Song 3. When Song 3 is done (or if I skip forward), Song 5 plays instead of Song 4. Let's say I get to Song 12 and get the urge to listen to Song 3 again, so I start quickly skipping back and accidentally go too far, landing on Song 2. If I skip forward, I will go to Song 13, not Song 3, and I will have to work my way back again. The library itself is alphabetized strangely (numbers and symbols go last instead of first), which I figure might be because of the foreign manufacturing. You also can't skip to a certain letter, you can only scroll through the entire library. [I found this was NOT true; I didn't read the manual correctly, and if you hold down the Menu button, it will allow you to scroll the alphabet. However, if you're hovering over a song and decide you want to open the alphabet menu, you will need to go back to the song you were listening to, hit back to go to the song list (do NOT scroll or touch anything once you've done this), and then hold the Menu button.] I have yet to figure out how to make a playlist, and my understanding is that you have to use some kind of program. According to the instructions, you can't put the files in a folder and copy the folder over, and you can't make a playlist by doing anything on the device itself. [Looked into this a little more, and you can... SORT of make playlists? But they have pre-set names like 'Era' and 'Genre,' so... good luck remembering what playlist is what.] I love the rotating wheel in the center, but I wish the longer you spun it, the faster it went[. It also comes with a glass screen protector, which is nice, but it goes on the BACK of the device... so that's weird.] It comes with a chip already in it, which I found [strange.] I would understand having the slot on the side for additional space, but it just comes with a memory card in there [that] you can pop out, and that's [just what your music goes on.] It's hefty, which is why I initially thought it was going to be amazing. It feels heavy in your hand, like it can handle a drop or two (even though I haven't done that yet) and the weight relays a sense of quality. Buttons are good and don't stick or need to be pushed exceptionally hard. There is a button on the top that makes the screen sleep and wake up, which is kind of nice but kind of not. You have to unlock the screen every time it falls asleep if you want to do anything on it EXCEPT volume. This isn't really convenient because I can bend over and accidentally press the volume on the side and either deafen myself or have my music go away. Meanwhile, the function I would want to be able to do without unlocking (skipping) is not possible. I have to wake it up every time I want to go back or forward. [Which brings me to the biggest failure of this device: it works with Bluetooth headphones, but you will not be able to use your forward and backward skip functions unless the device feels like it should let you. I have Beats Flex, and I can use a single press of the button to pause or play at any time, but if I double click or triple click, 95% of the time, it's not going to work, and I'll have to wake up the device and do it manually. But the entire POINT of being able to do it from your headphones is so you don't have to dig it out of your pocket and wake up the screen. Absolutely unacceptable for a Bluetooth compatible MP3 player to NOT be compatible with Bluetooth shortcuts.] All in all, not a great item, and when you consider how much you have to pay to get it... yeah, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. [With the addition of the company giving me a new product and me learning the complaints I had that 'shouldn't have been a problem' are the same across the board, AS WELL AS them trying to avoid refunding by asking me to send a picture of the problem (the problem is SOUND; you can't photograph that, friend) and then asking me to pay shipping, all of which they are doing when I bought the warranty package... it's getting lowered to one star. Absolute trash. And I'm uploading a new video.]

Je chercher un lecteur hi res pas trop cher, pour combler le manque de puissance et de qualité, délivré par mon portable en bluetooth Je n'ai pas pu vraiment tester la qualité sonore, je n'ai pas de fichier pur en flac, mais en transformant des fichiers mp3 en flac, j'ai obtenu un bon résultat... Il est raccorder en usb sur le Bt (autoradio) de ma 308...je peu complètement contrôler le lecteur, de plus il se met en marche dès que je démarre la voiture, pour de cours arrêt il met en pause la chanson en cours... Petit, discret, il fait le job et le son est vraiment bon... En bluetooth il fonctionne bien aussi, mais on a du mal à l’appairé, car le balayage est trop court, en s’arment de patience on y arrive...quelques beug, mais rien de méchant...au vue du prix je ne vais pas me plaindre...

Es perfecto mejor de lo que esperaba buena conexión inalámbrica para audífonos

某イヤホンメーカー社長のTwitterに触発されて購入。 写真を見ていただければわかる通り、かなりちいさいです。比較で並べたのはfiio x1 2ndです。 この大きさでパワーがかなりあります。ほとんどのイヤホンはローゲインで鳴らせます。ちなみに、能率の悪いRHAのCL750はハイゲインのボリューム30(マックスボリューム100)で 十分でした。 Bluetooth4.0があり、ワイヤレスも使えて、16gbのメモリーカード、イヤホンがついているので、曲が転送できればすぐ使えるところも嬉しいです。 音の分離が素晴らしく、低価格帯のプレイヤーとは思えない出来です。今はこんなに技術が進歩したんですね。 プレイヤーを新調しようとしている方はぜひ候補に入れてみてください。持ち運びの利便性とコストを考えるととても良いものに思います。 追記 ここ数日で起こった問題点をいくつか たまにsdカードを認識しない →再起動で解決。起動時間は10秒ほどです。 頭の切れる曲がある →条件はわかりませんがいくつかありました。気になる方は気になる程度であまり酷いものではないですが、一応。 ギャップレスが少し気になる →若干、一瞬だけですが、間があきます。 こんなとこでしょうか。 こいつのおかげでplenue D、AK100、fiio x1が不要になりました・・・

E' sempre più raro che un prodotto superi le mie aspettative, che mi sorprenda, ormai sono diventato maniacale nel valutare con attenzione i prodotti da acquistare su Amazon, li guardo, li riguardo e grazie alle schede sempre più precise ed alle recensione degli altri mi faccio un'idea molto dettagliata di cosa sto per acquistare. Ma questo lettore è stato davvero una felice sorpresa. Le dimensioni ed il peso lo rendono davvero comodo per qualsiasi uso ma io adoro soprattutto la scelta di non utilizzare un luminoso ed oneroso display con mille e passa inutili funzioni e questa io la trovo una scelta davvero vincente. Semplicità d'uso, alta qualità ed autonomia sono le parole chiave di questo lettore. La gestione dell'intero dispositivo è davvero semplice, pochi tasti per ottenere le funzione che un prodotto del genere mi deve offrire, farmi sentire la musica e farmela sentire bene; per fare altro posso usare lo smartphone. Il blocco automatico dei comandi per evitare pasticci mentre lo si tiene in tasca, la semplice gestione delle cartelle, dei singoli pezzi, della pausa e del play,volume tramite rotella, l'equalizzatore e la semplice gestione dell'upload dei file audio (una cartella sul PC, senza ulteriore software)) sono tutto quello che a me serve per ascoltare musica, mi ricorda davvero i player di una volta, rivisitato in chiave moderna. Dimenticavo, esteticamente ha un design high-tech e robusto,la dimensione è minuscola e pesa davvero pochissimo, la qualità di ascolto è molto elevata, ampi gli standard audio compatibili. Ricordatevi che gli auricolari non sono compresi nella confezione.

I bought this for my wife who was looking for an MP3 player suitable for running, I liked the look of this and bought it for her, its great. First off, its small and light while being well put together and solid. The clip is good and very secure when the player is mounted in it, always a worry if running. Headphones are good too, they come with different sized tips so you can adjust to suit. It all works well, plug it in and drag files across on your PC, no extra software, it has a good random function. The controls I like as well, the rotary control is for volume and you have dedicated skip track buttons. It also works as a USB stick if you plug it in to the car, giving access to all the songs stored on it. This is a very competent good sounding bit of kit and better than anything I have seen out there for a while, unless you pay silly money. I may buy one for me as well
