Downloaded 200GB+ FLAC files and at least 50GB of Spotify music to 1TB microSD over Wifi using SyncThing and Spotify, drained battery by 45%. This is incredible. Took a nap while it finished downloading a couple dozen GB of FLAC files on the charger, was cool to the touch and fully charged when i woke up several hours later. Spotify CANNOT be used while downloading files to microSD card, nearly unusable, even on a high speed card. The music i listen to all the time (using bluetooth, Spotify, Very High) is noticeably enhanced. I have not tested with wired headphones yet, but I assume the enhancement would be even higher. Connects and works well with both my vehicles bluetooth systems (Microsoft Sync and Generic GMC). Today it was 96 degrees F and downloading both Spotify and SyncThing/FLAC at the same time produced noticeable heat, but not much more than my phone while browsing facebook. The system is blinding fast and reacts to button presses immediately. The bit perfect system is very apparent. Very easy to use. I really can't find a reason to complain about this device. Besides maybe not having a GPS chip so I could use it entirely instead of connecting my phone when i need to get directions. But that is not the point of this device. I like the color better with the TPU case on and the warmth of the device when syncing so much data, at the same time, in nearly 100 degree weather would have been a bit much to comfortably hold the device for a sustained period of time. Storage capacity is adequate for testing the device, but you will want to use a microSD card formatted in exFAT format (mine came preformatted). I got the green one, and instead of the neon green, with the TPU case on, it is more of a forest green. I was between this and the M300, and the battery life is worth not having an onboard speaker. Body is aluminum and glass, very high quality and durable build quality. Review: Great modern MP3 player - This Device is great if you want to listen to music offline. There is a lost of settings and customization within this device that takes a while to get used to but works well. The option to expand the storage is a plus and easy to access within the device when importing music. Connecting to bluetooth is easy to do and the sound quality is convenient but it does not compare to listening to it with wire headphones, there has been latency and skipping if I'm using bluetooth while I'm walking so keep that in mind while exercising. The touch screen is not very responsive at time compared to your usual smartphone but the physical buttons make up for it. The device itself is well made and sturdy as well. Overall this is a great modern Mp3 player/DAP for the price the pros overweighs the cons in my opinion. ## Features - This MP3 & MP4 player, equipped with the SD665 octa-core processor and Android 12, ensures smooth performance.
