This replaced my clock-radio
I wanted something that isn't a smart phone for my alarm clock, that is small/portable, and that plays MP3s for the hour I'm getting ready in the morning. Bluetooth support a big plus. This little device has fit that need perfectly: I keep a pair of wired computer speakers in our bedroom. At night they plug into this device (which is also plugged in so it's fully charged the next day). In the morning, after I turn off the alarm I typically select some music to help wake and start the day. When I'm ready to move from bedroom to anywhere-else, I switch on my battery-powered portable stereo wireless bluetooth speakers. ($15 at Ace Hardware with sound more like $40 speakers.) The music automatically switches to these and I move those with me as I start my day. Here is why this device's specific features work well for me as a replacement clock-radio: * It's an Android (based on 1.x or something really old but I don't care) but without the Play Store. Since I deliberately wanted something limited this was a feature, not a bug and I immediately knew how to use it. * It has the stock Android clock application with its nice flexible alarm clock application. * The MP3 player is quirky but once I got used to it I found I like it a lot. It's not any of the stock Android MP3 player applications but a third-party app. As other reviewers have noted, it works well for collections organized by folder. Note that you'll have to go hunting for a setting that turns this feature on. It's apparently licensed demoware but the vendor didn't turn the nagware banner off. That's annoying. And because (again) the Play Store isn't available, there's no way to even pay to turn it off. I hope they fix that in a future version of this product. * The FM radio works well. I don't use it a lot but it's a really nice bonus to have it and I've gotten good reception out of it. (You have to have speakers or headphones plugged in to use it.) * The sound quality is very good for the price, both over Bluetooth and via the headphone output. * The built-in speaker is usable as an alarm clock, countdown timer, or for listening to lectures. Its quality is painful for listening to music. * I've never fully discharged the battery, even with playing constantly over Bluetooth for somewhere between three and four hours. I'm really happy with the battery life for my purposes. Some overall thoughts: * I like that this setup is completely modular. If a speaker system fails I can replace it independently to everything else, etc. * I don't use the web browser or video feature at all. It's really not designed for that use. But the settings allow you to hide applications you don't want to access from the home screen and I use this to remove icons for these applications. I really like this feature. * At around $50, I didn't expect high-end phone build quality so I wasn't disappointed that the device is plastic. But it has held up fine for my use. And plastic doesn't crack like phone screens can. It does need a wipe from time to time with one of my leftover lens cloths (from an old pair of glasses) to remove fingerprints. * The clock application doesn't have any setting to keep the display on when the device is plugged in. This would be nice, but it's hardly a deal-breaker. The clock and alarm are still reliable and that's what counts. Overall, except for the nagware banner I can't remove I couldn't be more delighted.

Huge storage!
I really like this device. I bought one 5 years ago and when it finally gave up the ghost I knew I needed another. It's easy to use and has a lot of features. The expanded internal memory means I don't even have to use a micro-SD card. The battery charge lasts for days, even with significant play time. Highly recommend this to anyone who's looking for a good mp3 player.

This player is terrible and a waste of money!
The first player I bought worked okay using the hibymusic player on it however one day it was frozen. It would not shut off or anything just said to wait for the track or close it out but I could do nothing so I sent it back. This time around they sent me a micro sd card which did not work was corrupted so I had to use a different one. The player does not recognize the micro sd card all the time sometimes it takes forever just to load the files such as mp3s on it. I can go into the hiby music player and it has loaded some songs i put on the device itself. But if I go into files to find my sd card ill load a song and it will not play it just freezes. I want to be able to play songs off the card because I have more music then what the player can store truthfully. But the device freezes and has trouble locating songs it will not work in the files when you go onto the card to play any song. This is frustrating and most likely ill be making a second return of the item this week and buying a player of another brand. I cant be hassled to waste time loading the card etc and fussing with it just to listen to music especially if I am driving or at work. I mainly use the mp3 player for my bluetooth sterio in my truck so the last thing I need is the player in waiting mode for hours, frozen or just incapable of reading music from the micro sdcard this is really bad. They need to get it fixed or pull the item off the shelves sure its fine if you want to put fifty songs on it but put a couple thousand and this becomes a paperweight!

Once it got working it's a nice little product
Bought this hoping this would be a nice replacement for my iPod that's missing. Unit looks and feels nice but I can't get the device to show on Windows 11. Two different machines, different cables, software/driver hacks no help. It's useless regardless of how nice it looks. Would NOT buy if I were you. Edit/Update 4/28/23 Ok, so after seeing this review - the seller contacted me and offered to send a new unit. I told them I had already returned it and got a different one. They sent me a new one - got it in a couple of days. Their CS dept is solid. They get a 5 stars on this one!!!! Now onto some pros marred only by 2 cons 1. Getting this thing to get recognized by windows is tricky. I had already done alot of searching and tried troubleshooting everything I found to no avail before I returned it. The new one was doing like the first right out of the box. After asking, they emailed me a couple of options to try (CS did) and still no go. Frustrated, I quit troubleshooting. I came back to it about 3 days later and somehow "magically" it got recognized. But big thing - I got the device working and the unit is really slick Give it a 4 since I had so much trouble getting it to be recognized and I can't tell what really worked. 2. Playlists: Love the fact that you can create as many playlist you want. Playlists are a biggie to me. Unfortunately, I've been unable to import any playlists from computer - but it's pretty fast and easy to make your own on the device. This isn't perfect but good enough - maybe I'll dig further into why it's not recognizing my m3u files. Give it a 4 3. Radio: actually works with the supplied wired ear buds. It wasn't a biggie but of the ones I've seen this one does a really good job of picking up signal. 5 4. Memory/Storage: This is about the only real downside to the unit. I wish it had at least 2x the storage before the need to start using cards. Still all in all 4 on this as it's been my experience that most devices are hampered in how it operates on reading from cards. Just look at anything that uses them and you'll see tons of people pointing out how troublesome they can be. Since I have a collection over 500 gigs of mp3 files collected over the years - I will find out soon what limitations arise. 5. GUI interface - feels like using any phone nowadays. Touch screen with just two buttons on the bottom of the screen. Me likey! 5 6 Bluetooth: This thing has paired with everything I've tried to pair it with, and done it quickly and hassle-free. This one exceeded expectations where the others I've tried have failed miserably. 5 7 Audio: It's good but I think could be better. One annoying thing I've found is that connecting it via bluetooth (specifically in my car) is that volume control is left up to the mp3 player. Not the car's stereo. Point is that it's not loud enough for me. Street noise drowns it out. Bummer. Haven't used it with headphones or external speakers just yet. I do know that the ear buds that come with it aren't all that great - but wasn't really planning to use them all that much anyway. Built-in speaker is okay, just slightly better than listening on your phone. (no surprise there) 3.5 All in all this is a nice little unit - and at the price point it's a good deal. YMMV but this does what I need. Soon I'll be testing it out when mowing the lawn and I hope it's gonna be sufficient output to hear it

Exceeded Expectation and very satisfied with the Q5
The Q5 player is by far the best one I’ve tried in the past few weeks and spent countless hours trying to make the others work as described and even reached out to their technical support and still couldn’t get them to work. I went through several models and they either did not work or fell short of my expectations. Prior to getting the Q5 I had the older model Q3 and the vendor was very accommodating and allowed me to return the Q3 and exchange it for the Q5 and glad I did as it is the newer model and comes with a Web browser that allows you to watch YouTube videos, check emails and so forth. The Q5 also has a faster processor, an FM radio which I haven’t tried, and am very happy with it. I currently have a 256gb SD card in it and have about 90gb of music, 60gb of pictures and another 50 to 60gb of videos and movies. I originally had trouble loading songs, pictures, and videos on it from my iMac as the file transfer for this model program for iMacs called Open MTP is not very stable. And for some reason the SD cards I purchased didn’t show up on either my iMac or Windows HP laptop, so could not for the life of me copy files from iMac directly to the SD card. So here is what I had to do. I first had to copy my files to a USB thumb drive from my iMac to the HP laptop, then plugged in the Q5 to the Windows laptop and using Explorer, was able to copy all the data to the Q5. The copy process took a while as altogether was almost 200gb. Overall this MP3/4 player is hands down the best one out there and well worth the $45 I’ve spent on a new “toy.” I’ve had iPhones since the series 3 and now have the Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max and even that doesn’t compare to the capabilities of the Q5. I only have 64gb on the 11 Pro Max and couldn’t find an easy way to transfer all my music and videos to it plus the Q5 has many nice features such as an equalizer, sorting capabilities such as song, artist, albums, etc. I haven’t had it long enough to see how many hours the battery would last but it does have a quick charger and takes only about an hour to get a full charge. I’ve been a Amazon Prime Member for over 15 years and rarely post reviews but the Q5 is worth writing this and their customer service is very respectful and responsive, I felt compelled to write my very positive experience with this product. It’s a good thing I still had an old HP Windows Laptop as not sure if I could make it work without it. Overall, I am extremely satisfied and happy with this MP3/MP4 player, Web browser, photo viewer and even allows to edit pictures. The sound quality using AirPods is also amazing and very rich and the built- in equalizer allows you to make adjustments according to your liking. If you’re looking for the best value in a MP3 player – this is worth every penny and it will support up to a 512gb SD card which is a lot cheaper then getting an iPhone with that much capacity. Time will tell how stable this player will hold up. I’ve had it only a week and so far it’s lived up to my expectations and then some.

Difficult to transfer songs from my Mac!
What a pain it was to move 50 songs from my iMac to this device. Forget about putting songs in separate folders. I bought this MP3 player for one purpose, to listen to music via bluetooth headphones when I'm walking and riding my ATV with my wife. And since my android phone will only connect to one BT headphone not twoI was hoping this cheap MP3 player would solve my problem. It does sound great with no dropouts. But what a pain it is to transfer songs with their MTP software. Review Update! I'm changing my review to 4 stars after one week of many hours of use! I found that loading music from my Mac on a 32GB Micro SD Card is the way to go! All I did was insert a 32GB card in my iMac and drag and drop songs from my music folder into my on screen SD folder and when I loaded all the songs I wanted I ejected the folder, removed the SD card from the back of my iMac and inserted the SD card into my MP3 card slot and "bingo" Beautiful Sounding Music. The EQ works great too! I still haven't figured out how to organize the songs into folders or any kind of playlist...So, It's real important to ONLY download the songs you really want to listen to. You can skip to the next song, but that's a pain! Battery life is excellent. I get over 5 hours of use and it takes just under an hour to fully charge. VERY good MP3 player...If I can figure out an easy way to organize the songs into playback folders...maybe I'll give this MP3 player "5 stars"

FINALLY A GREAT MP3 PLAYER TO RIVAL THE iPOD
I've been trying to find a good, solid easy to use mp3/mp4 player for several years to replace my last iPod and have bought 3 or 4 prior to this but one by one each failed miserably being far short of acceptable. Usually it's the GUI typically with no shortcut to get back to the home screen after you've wandered in the menu, not showing full titles of songs due to low-res graphics so you have to guess which version you're playing from the list (and many times even when you do play it you still can't tell) among many other shortcomings. For those reasons I was reticent to buy another but decided to pull the trigger one more time and FINALLY I found this little Timmkoo player gem which covers all the bases. Quick response, great graphics, easy to use menus (probably due to it being an Android-based system), built-in speaker and to boot the sound quality is great AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY READ MOST OF THE SONG TITLES! Even the earphones they give you are fantastic! The only shortcoming is only 8GB internal memory but they give you a 64GB card which is more than sufficient to load all the music, pictures, videos, e-books and anything else digital you might want to take with you which more than makes up for that. IF YOU WANT A GREAT MP3, PICTURE, VIDEO, E-BOOK PLAYER WITH BUILT IN RADIO TO BOOT (THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY READ) BUY THIS MACHINE, YOU'LL LOVE IT LIKE I DO. IT'S THE FIRST ONE THAT RIVALS THE APPLE iPOD IN QUALITY AND AT $41 IT WON'T BREAK THE BANK!

dark picture-high failure probability
Over the last 2-3 years, I have purchased 6 of these ‘Timkoo MP4’ Players to watch videos at work. Each one has failed, forcing me to purchase another, with the exception of #5, which was stolen (in my KIA). I needed to purchase yet another one of these, as there has been no other reasonable options on the market, and of course this one has already failed (on day 33) which is just outside the return window. While the others have simply stopped working, this (#6) device won’t accept a charge. I have hardly even used this as I had actually found a near identical alternative, but clearly differently manufactured device “Swofy” which does have it’s own problems in my opinion, such as functionality, but is a much brighter picture than what the ‘Timkoo’ offers. As for this review of the ‘Timkoo’, it is sad they keep failing. I would like to give it a better review as each model I have purchased has been a newer version of the previous one. Every one of the six devices was an upgraded version. The makers of Timkoo has added several features to the device over time including (Stopwatch, recorder, FM Radio, calendar, Calculator. The 4th model I had, showed a total of 11 individual ‘apps’ for its features. The 5th one had ‘Google’ added, for a total of 12 This 6th version added a “color note” which I guess is a form of ‘sticky notes’ and the Radio or calendar was added for a total of 14. Overall the functionality is good, and it is easy to put all your files onto a micro SD chip, including your MP3’s and videos in different formats. I have used MPG, AVI, WMV, and MP4 with no problems. With all this said, Timkoo does have it’s good features and problem areas to improve. However, they have made the screen so dark with any videos it is difficult to watch. This truly is the biggest problem with this device. Early versions had a much brighter screen, and I really liked the earlier models, but they slowly got darker and darker. I was even going to make a quick ‘side-by-side’ video displaying the difference in screen tinting between the #4 and 5 devices (showing the exact same video), and just as I was about to record, the #4 fell 2 feet onto a rubber floor and never worked again. The difference was profound. It is difficult to tell if this newer version was even darker than the #5, but it is painful to watch, and is really only good for listening to podcasts. Timkoo’s priority has become battery life and it will play videos for a full 6 hours or possibly longer, but it is much too dark to enjoy. And, once it stops working, for whatever reason, it becomes a paperweight. 33 days was the lifespan of this last one, and I probably used it less than 50 hours. Swofy is an alternative brand. It’s weight (154 Grams) feels like it is probably more solidly built that the exact same size Timkoo’s (109 Gram) weight. Swofy’s picture is much, much brighter, but does have some functionality issues of it’s own, but for watching videos it is much brighter

Works great for music and videos
I got this for my 7 year old daughter for Christmas, because we wanted something where she could have video on it if she wanted, and so far we’ve had it for about 4 months and it’s still going great. She loves it. The battery life lasts about 3 days with her regular use. We have a couple full length videos and a few shorter shows downloaded on it for her to watch when she’s on long drives, and she just loves that. It’s pretty easy to put music onto. One time I couldn’t figure out how to put a couple more songs onto it, and I googled it and came up with the answer. I had to “refresh” the music list or something. That was the only technical issue I’ve come up against. You can’t download any other apps besides what’s already on the device though, and it doesn’t have any games. Those are the only two downsides I can think of. She’s also been somewhat rough with it and the screen hasn’t cracked, and it’s still working well. Just a great little device.

Excelente reproductor de todo tipo de formatos de vídeo vídeo y audio
Excelente reproductor de formato de sonido y vídeo . Hasta reproduce FLV sin ningún problema . Muy práctico. Elimina la necesidad de ver videos con un software complicado en una computadora o tablet. Súper recomendable. Solo fallan de repente los botones de plástico de encendido y volumen.

Excellent and top-notch product.
I haven't written a review on Amazon for a good few years, but I really feel moved to write one now. I have had various mp3 players in the past. They can be very hit and miss in my experience. They usually have tiny screens, cumbersome controls and very un-user-friendly interfaces. I recently came-accross this one, and having bought it, I can say that it is absolutely superb. It has a super large HD touch screen, and if you have an android phone, you will find that it operates in exactly the same way. It's so easy to set-up and the controls and menus are simply laid-out and very intuitive to use. The sound reproduction is absolutely excellent. And if you want to tweak it to your own personal taste, then there is a built-in graphic equaliser which is surprisingly sophisticated! It has a tiny memory, so a micro SD card is pretty much essential. But one word of warning here, I bought the 512gb card which the makers recommend and the machine just will not cope with such a large memory. The whole thing froze and behaved most oddly until I took the card out. Someone else actually mentioned this in an earlier review, and I should have taken note and saved myself some money! I bought a memory card of about half that capacity and now it works like a dream. This is an excellent mp3 player, and I am really extremely pleased with it.

Sehr viel Licht und ein ganz klein wenig Schatten
Ich habe inzwischen mehrere MP3/MP4-Player ausprobiert, keine High-End-Geräte, eher aus dem niedrigen Preissegment. Bisher waren mehr oder weniger keine wirklich guten Geräte dabei, dieses ist aber schon ein Highlight. Das Gerät macht einen sehr soliden und wertigen Eindruck. Vom Formfaktor ist es quasi wie ein kleines Smartphone, ich denke, letztlich ist es auch ein abgespecktes älteres Modell. Tut ja nix zur Sache. Liegt aber gut in der Hand, ist aber auch nicht ganz so leicht. Ich find's absolut okay. Bisher absolutes Alleinstellungsmerkmal: ein beigelegtes gedrucktes mehrseitiges Handbuch und deutscher Sprache. Und zwar ohne große 'Übersetzungskracher' - ziemlich vollständig und verständlich gemacht! Von der Funktionalität kann es eigentlich alles, was ich brauche. Diverse Musikformate (natürlich unter anderem MP3), Videoformate (ua. MP4), eBooks und Fotoanzeige. Dazu kommen noch ein Taschenrechner, Kalender, Notiz-App etc. Irgendwie liegt das Ding irgendwo zwischen reinem MP3-Player und kleinem Handheld/SmartPhone. Es ist aber dahingehend eingeschränkt, daß man keine Apps installieren kann. Der MP3-Player bietet viel, viel mehr als manch andere. Alle von mir bisher genutzten Geräte hatten trotz großem Speicher die Einschränkung, maximal 4.000 Titel anzeigen zu können. Ich habe diesen mit einer SD-Karte (64GB) mit gut 7.200 Titeln gefüttert - funzt wunderprächtig. Man kann die Titel beliebig sortieren, Playlists erstellen etc Die Titel werden auch nicht von Namen 'abgeschnitten' oder gescrollt, sondern der Länge entsprechend mit Cover angezeigt (da kann man auch einiges konfigurieren). Und rechts am Bildschirm gibt eins eine Leiste mit dem Alphabet, mit dem man bei längeren Listen schnell ans Ziel kommt. Das geht alles Dank dem ausreichenden 4'' Display, auf meinem bisherigen 2.4'' Gerät war das schwierig. Bei großen Musiksammlungen kommt das Gerät dann hardwarebedingt an seine Grenzen. Aber mit 'groß' meine ich auch mehr als 5.000 Titel. Das gilt sowohl für die Daten auf der SD-Karte, als auch per DLNA eingebundene. Dann wird alles seht langsam und das Gerät wird auch recht warm... Der Sound ist mit den passenden Kopfhörern super! Die Beigelegten funktionieren zwar, sind aber meines Erachtens etwas schwach im Bass. Es gibt einen Equalizer, vielleicht kann man mit dem noch was tunen, aber mit meinen InEars war der Sound sofort wie ich es mir wünsche, ich habe das dann nicht weiter probiert. Videos (MP4) funktionieren auch super, 720P Videos haben ein klasse Bild. 1080P (was laut Beschreibung funktionieren soll) ans Laufen zu bekommen - 'Format unbekannt'. Ich bin da kein großer Crack, kann sein, daß man die passen konvertieren kann... braucht man das aber auf einem 4'' Display? Bei dem ansehen von Fotos kann man das Bild sogar während des Betrachtens mit den Finger größer und kleiner ziehen - auch das noch mit einer guten Auflösung! Alles wir am SmartPhone. eBook (epub) habe ich kurz probiert. Das Buch meiner Wahl hatte dann zwar eine angenehme Schrift zum Lesen, war dann aber auf über 700 Seiten verteilt. Nix für mich, aber grundsätzlich geht's. Ich habe da eh lieber etwas aus dem guten alten Papier in der Hand... :-) Ich könnte noch viel schreiben mache den Rest aber mal kurz: Pros: - Super Funktionsumfang (Musik, Video, eBook, Fotos etc.) - WLAN (zum Daten übertragen und man kann auch mit dem installierten Google Chrom ins Web!) - Bluetooth (Kopfhörer problemlos gekoppelt, ob es auch im Auto funzt, habe ich noch nicht probiert) - DLNA (kann per WLAN auf einen private Cloud zugreifen - bei mit ein Plex-Server auf einem NAS!) - Deutsches gedrucktes Handbuch - USB-C Ladekabel (die meisten anderen Geräte 'hängen' noch an Micro-USB Cons: - Bei größeren Musiksammlungen wird's langsam. - Beigelegte Kopfhörer nur mittelmässig (zur Not geht's) Was in der Artikelbeschreibung meines Erachtens 'fehlerhaft' ist, sind die angegebenen 72GB Speicher. Das Gerät hat 8 GB intern und eine 64 GB SD-Karte ist beigelegt. Irgendwie stimmt die Beschreibung damit, irgendwie aber auch nicht... Zu guter letzt stellt sich die Frage nach dem 'Warum?'! Mein SmartPhone kann das letztlich auch alles, und noch einiges mehr. Es gibt da meiner Meinung schon ein paar Gründe: - Schont den Akku des SmartPhones - das hat dann vielleicht eine höhere Lebenserwartung! - SmartPhones sind in der Schule meiner Tochter nicht erlaubt, den Player darf sie für die Busfahrt mitnehmen - Auch beim Spielen im Haus oder Garten nimmt sie den Player mit und lässt das teure Smartphone liegen Aber wie dem auch sei, das muß jeder mit sich selbst ausmachen. Wenn man gerne einen MP3-Player (bzw. MP4-Player) haben möchte, kann ich persönlich diesen ohne große Einschränkungen empfehlen! Da dann...
