AGPTEK64GB MP3 Player with Bluetooth 5.3 with 2.3" Horizontal Screen, Portable Digital Music Player with Built-in Speaker, HiFi Sound, FM Radio, Voice Recorder, Earphones Included, Silver

The media could not be loaded. This AGPTEK MP3 Player is a gorgeous device! It is well-designed with fully functional and easily accessible buttons and ports. The screen quality is above average; the images and text are clear and easy to read. The sound quality while listening to music and audiobooks was impressive for a budget MP3 player. I was especially surprised by the clarity of the built-in speaker.Connecting the player to an external speaker via Bluetooth was simple and stable. I created several music/audiobook folders on my PC and added them to my MicroSD card. This player is said to support ‘up to 128GB card’, however, my 512GB card worked perfectly! Even though I prefer a physical user interface (click wheel) design, this MP3 player would be a suitable alternative to a high-end model.

With cost of living issues in mind I opted for this at a fraction of the price of my Sony MP3 Walkman, which seems to have suffered executive burnout! I had my doubts but on the whole I've got to like it. The controls need a bit of navigation, and there's no touchscreen control, but when you get used to that it's fine. The sound is very good, both with plug-in earphones and Bluetooth. I'm now busy uploading my CD collection again. Thank God I've got them! The only gripe is that this device doesn't understand box sets or double CDs, so the tracks are listed in the wrong order. I've come across this before but had hoped it was a thing of the past. Other than that it uploads easily enough. You can use File Explorer to copy and paste, or Windows Media Player will do it too. On the whole if, like me, you're looking for an affordable player that does the job, this might do it for you.

I bought this MP3 player some time ago.But, aside from loading music onto it and checking that it worked okay, I have not used it properly until now.Somehow, lazily, it seems easier and quicker to use our usually very competent phone music players!But, starting to use it properly today, I have immediately found an unpleasant tinny and rattly distortion on the 'rock' equaliser setting that, comparing it with the same headphones and using my phone player to identify the source, I just do not get - and on any phone equaliser setting I try to recreate this distortion on.The music is not being played too loudly, either.It seems to be only in the 'rock' setting so far as I have tried - but simply cannot be listened to. So the player will be 'retired'.I only offer this, as if I had properly compared sound quality with my other music mediums at the time, and selected a bassy track to use, I would have returned it as either poor, or maybe faulty performance.For those who love quality sound with crisp treble and controlled bass, I think this player - though a nice ipod-reminding metal-cased unit - may have some limitations.That said, it may simply be my own unit.

I wanted a cheap MP3 player to keep in the car, use at work, use for walks etc., something that wasn’t valuable. This does the job, but with the lower price tag you do get some annoying issues.If you connect the device to an Apple computer you will not be able to add any music to the internal storage, it simply doesn’t show up as a folder on your finder, so the 64GB is totally useless, unless of course you have a PC. Your only option therefore is to use an SD card.The whole process of adding music to the SD card is way more time consuming than connecting an iPod touch. You have to drag and drop one album at a time, there’s no option to sync with iTunes here!When you use the player in the dark it’s very difficult to find your way around the controls as they don’t light up, they just flash as you touch them. There’s also lots of selections required in order to navigate your way through artists and tracks. It also seems to automatically select repeat functions instead of normal playback.The sound quality is ok if you’re connecting to a half decent Bluetooth speaker, but when you connect large headphones there is a noticeable difference compared to an iPod. The bass is really lacking and when you try out the eq function it starts to distort, so this kind of makes the whole headphone listening experience somewhat unpleasant.It’s cheap, it looks like an iPod, but it’s certainly not as good as an iPod.
