HIFI WALKER H2 MP3 Player – High Res Audio DAP with Bluetooth5.2, Lossless Music Player, DSD DAC Support, Portable FLAC Player with Line Out, 64GB Memory Card, Expandable to 512GB

Very well constructed. Extremely good audio quality. My iPod hard drive finally gave out so wanted something to replace it without a touch screen. This works perfectly though the operating system interface is not as easy to use as the iPod, it is perfectly functional. The Bluetooth 5 is great quality and the charge last a long time. I put a 256Gb SD in which holds thousands of tracks

Good sound good life battery easy to use .I recommend this WiFi walker as it is a very good digital music player it is not the best but of the best for the budget.Thanks

This audio player is well presented, well made and has good sound, although operating it takes some learning. The instructions are useful and the feature of a separate card to store music is very convenient, just copy files over from your PC. Sound seems a bit low to start with but can be tweaked, for example going to 'settings' and setting the gain to 'high' is a big improvement, although I haven't got into the equaliser settings yet. It sounds good played through a small headphone valve amp. I bought it to replace my ageing but faithful Sony Walkman player!

I use it in conjunction with a set of Sennheiser HD25 headphones for portable/on-the-go/walking/outside use. The sound quality is truly excellent; suffice to say that it can generally be characterised as neutral, balanced, transparent: i.e. accurate. It fulfils all I would wish for sound quality wise from a portable setup. (My "reference" comparison setup is against a Topping A90 headphone amplifier/D90 DAC + Sennheiser HD800S). It compares very favourably, providing a good chunk of the performance for something in a portable package. In short, the sound is everything you could want for/hope for from a portable and reasonably priced DAP, and could be legitimately described as "audiophile".Because it works as a mass storage device, or you can simply load files directly onto the microSD card, this device works great out of the box with Linux; no fancy drivers required.(I should note I installed Rockbox on the device immediately after getting it (hosted install/dual boot), though the original firmware seems perfectly serviceable/decent. Rockbox enables me to use my 512GB microSD card, whereas the stock firmware is limited to 256GB. Rockbox firmware does seem to have a bug with generating a database, at least with my FLAC collection, however, since I just use the file browser (because all my FLACs are perfectly organised in a <artist>/<album> directory structure), this is of no concern to me)).I haven't tested the Bluetooth or Line Out performance, mainly because I doubt I will ever use this functionality.Listening using only lossless FLAC files (mostly 16bit/44khz), I'm trending toward 10-15 hours battery life.Summary:1. Audiophile sound quality.2. High quality output stage with excellent volume adjustability/range.3. Decent, clear screen. Lock button functionality to stop unwanted button presses.4. No audio glitches, breaks, or defects (note that I've done nearly all of my listening using Rockbox rather than OF) in use on the move.5. Fair/reasonable price.6. Solid build with lovely feel - perfect size and weight for carrying around.7. Easy loading of music onto memory card/mass storage device, no garbage proprietary software required.8. Decent, if not exceptional, battery life. Rockbox works very well on it (see caveats above), meaning you could potentially use a gigantic memory card with it if so desired, if you're a geek/power-user. (I'm using a 512GB card.)9. Included fabric drawstring bag to protect it from scratches is a nice touch. Only costs them a few pennies and means you've got something to protect it right away. Meanwhile there is a metal loop you could affix a lanyard too as well, useful if you're the type of person prone to dropping things!

I bought this as my old iPod Classic has become increasingly temperamental and I read some generally positive reviews. I’ll also make the point that I’m old school in listening to music, usually preferring to play an album all the way through.Firstly, the basics of the HiFi Walker are quite good. Its build seems solid – more so than an iPod – sound quality with decent spec, connected in-ear listeners is up to scratch, the navigation fairly intuitive and it works fine when connected to another device with speakers. Also, its big advantage over an iPod is that you can just connect it to a computer then drag and drop music folders onto the SD card; much better than messing about with iTunes. Also, the ability to take up to 256GB is a big plus if you have a lot of music.But there is a significant fault. The machine has a function to search for music by category, which is meant to react to the metadata on the files – ie genre, artist, album artist, composer – but it doesn’t work. I’ve been in touch with the manufacturer’s customer service team about the problem but they have been unable to resolve it. Even though I’ve ensured the files have the metadata attached – using MP3 Tag software – it fails to read them and shows a line of zeros. The only category that does work is the ‘favourites’, which is created on the device itself.It is possible to get around this if, like me, you tend to take one approach to searching for music, as you can build it into the file structure on the SD card. So I tend to drop albums into a folder for that artist which then goes into another for the relevant genre. But if you want to take different approaches to the search at different times you can’t do so.Also, there’s a quirk that I find irritating, in that once an album is played it quickly moves onto the next track in the file structure, which means another album. Maybe not a big issue, but I like to have a pause once an album is finished (probably because I listen to a lot of classical and jazz).On top of this, it’s not completely clear what some of the settings are meant to do, and the manual doesn’t make it clear for every function.Overall it’s a decent device and I expect it would be OK for a lot of users, but there are clearly manufacturing faults and I wouldn’t go as far as recommending it.An update on this - After a few months use I discovered this runs on an older version of Bluetooth that doesn't connect with all receiving devices. If I could I would remove one of the three stars.

NO STARS AT ALL (but I was required to choose at least one). An absolute nightmare trying to work out how to get files on to the thing. Instructions are non-existent. When I finally got some files on, they were not recognisable and neither were the tracks in order. I loaded them as albums but they appear by performer which is no help at all. I have only classical music.A complete waste of money so I am sending it back as I cannot make any sense of it. I shall re-furbish my iPod Classic instead.
