160GB MP3 Player with Bluetooth and WiFi, innioasis Music Player with Spotify,Pandora,Amazon Music,4" Touch Screen Android MP4 MP3 Player for Kids with Libby,Audible,Spotify Kids(Black)

I did a lot of research before buying this mp3 player. I was looking for a player that was compatible with apple music, had a good shuffle option, supported playlists, decent battery life and good Bluetooth compatibility. This particular mp3 player has delivered. For this price point, it is a great deal. I had no issues at all getting my apple music onto the device and the files play seemlessly like any other format. Other players I had to do work arounds or change file type to get apple music files to work. Not an issue with this device. If like me you have had iPods for years but now have to switch as apple stopped producing them, the ability to easily access and play your iTunes library is probably one of your number 1 concerns. Let me save you hours of frustrating research and let you know this player is setup ready to play apple music files. The shuffle options are comparable to iPods. You can transfer your playlists relatively easily and there isn't a limit on how many you can have. You can also create new playlists directly from the device if you like. The battery life is probably my only issue with this player. It is decent, depending on how often you are using the screen interface, it will last for a full day of use but you likely need to charge daily. In comparison my iPod, before its battery started to go, held a charge for about a week or so before needing another charge. However this player will get you through a long day, particularly if you are just letting it do its thing and play tracks without manually changing it a lot. Seems using the screen interface drains the battery significantly faster. Finally the Bluetooth. Some of the reviews mention that the Bluetooth connection is subpar and causes the audio to cut in and out at times. I have ran into this a couple of times, however it only seems to happen when I am switching between multiple Bluetooth devices a lot. Like from the car to headphones, ect. And restarting the device has fixed the issue Everytime. I have had this player since July and I think this has only happened 3 times and easily fixed itself with a restart. As far as connecting to Bluetooth, I actually find that this device connects easier than my phone and other devices. It will stay connected to whatever device you last connected too and will need to be manually switched to another device but this is quick and easy to do. The only other note for me is podcast files are treated like any other music files so you do have to search for podcasts instead of having a separate podcast section. Though this might be a product of the media player I use as it does seem to have a podcast option separate from the music library so if you really want those separated there is likely a way to do it. I am just too lazy to figure it out lol Over all I think this mp3 player is an excellent choice for the price range, especially for iPod refugees. Hope this review helps anyone else looking to switch over now that iPods are leaving the market!

Update: After a few back and forths with the support team and trying different ways to get the MP3 player to work and nothing working, a new one was sent to me. It turned on immediately, stayed on for me to connect it to my Wifi, log in to my music apps and I was able to do everything in less than 5 minutes. Was really impressed with the support team. They were helpful in every way and response time was always very quick. I’ve only been using the new MP3 player for a few minutes but music quality is great and I have no complaints. It stays on, doesn’t shut off like the other one did. Excited to be able to try the other apps on the player like the FM radio, chrome, recorder, kindle etc. Old Review when product didn’t stay on: For now giving a one star review. Took it out of the box and it turned on immediately. Went to the setting screen and was able to connect it to my WI-Fi immediately. Then went to go sign in to my Apple Music account. Hit the sign in button and screen went black and turned off. So tried turning it back on. Just kept flashing the innioasis word every 3 seconds. Multiple times tried factory resetting it. Multiple times powered it off and then on. It would get to the Android is starting screen and then would shut off. When connecting to Wi-Fi I saw the battery was at 100% so it’s not a battery issue. Reached out to innioasis support team. Hopefully problem will be resolved

I have had a previous model which worked very well. My cheap ear buds worked perfectly with it for over a year, then suddenly one day, would not connect. I thought it was the ear buds, but when I tried them with a totally different device, they still work perfectly. My old model had been dropped numerous times, and the battery life, which wasn't great to start with had really gone way down. So I decided to buy another innioasis. My mistake! The ear buds I own would NEVEr CONNECT WITH THE NEW MODEL, EITHER. i HAE USING THE WIRED BUDS. The battery life in the new unit is worse than the current life of the old unit. Plus, both units are now doing the same glitchy things, which never occurred before. I can no longer easily access podcasts at all. the listening tab at bottom just disappears at will and even turning the unit off and on numerous times may not bring it back. Plus it is virtually impossible to look at podcast episodes any longer. It just wont' show/change episodes. It's even hard to open a book already downloaded on the unit, no listening tab, and the same chapter will just keep on repeating. with the listener tab gone, I cannot access the chapters to change them or even back it up thirty seconds to catch what I just missed while someone is talking. I believe the programming was changed to make things different, I can't see why they would both change operating ways I am VERY familiar with, at the very same time. So I think these things happened in a product update I was unaware of. NOT HAPPY!! Plus I went to hospital for a long unexpected stay and missed the return window or I would have returned th new unit.

Nice compact design, good battery life, good capacity for storing tunes. The internal speaker is crap, but I didn't buy it for that -- with a good set of 'phones or 'buds it sounds great. Not exactly user friendly to use, though, and the manual could be better -- although I suppose I should be happy that it comes with an actual printed manual, and not just a fold-out sheet of pictures or a web-link. I wanted this for using with my own collection of recorded music, so I didn't really need most of the streaming apps it comes with. Well, no problem they said, just delete the apps you don't want. Be careful when you do that though, as some of those apps are necessary for the local music player to work, and they don't exactly tell you \which\ ones. When you delete apps you can get them back by doing a "factory reset" although that deletes any data you've stored on the device as well. Several factory-resets later, I pared things down to the apps I needed, and started to side-load my music onto the device. This was easy enough -- you just connect to a computer via USB cable, and the device appears as a flash-drive-like icon, and you can drag-and-drop files and folders. I have an issue with the display. I greatly prefer light text on a dark background. Apparently the only way to get this is to use the "Invert Colors" switch in setting. Problem is, that inverts the colors of EVERYTHING displayed, including wallpaper, album/CD covers etc. WTF? Another issue is that some of the fonts used are very hard to read text appears as black letter rimmed with a white outline or, if you "Invert Colors" white text with a black outline. If you're using a 48-point display font, that's fine, but on the tine 5-point font on an MP3 player the outlines make the text pretty much illegible. Haven't figured how to change this yet, or if it can be changed. [EDIT 12/15/25 -- I was able to work out the display issues, mostly, although it was anything but intuitive and took several hours. A couple extra pages in the manual would remedy this. Also discovered that it isn't always obvious how to get back to the "home screen", and there should be a dedicated button for this. Playback was pretty much as expected, with one annoying caveat: I have multiple ripped CDs, where the CD and all tunes come with full metadata. This device reads the metadata OK, but seems to ignore some of it. For example, each tune on a CD is numbered, and they're typically placed in a particular order on the CD for artistic reasons. This player seems to ignore the numbered order of the tunes, and instead play them in \alphabetical\ order. Of course you can get around this by creating playlists -- but you shouldn't have to create a playlist in order to play tunes on a pre-existing CD in their proper order. [EDIT - This also seems to have resolved itself, although I'm not really sure how. All I know is CDs now play tunes in the correct order, so that's a plus.] But that, I can live with. The display issues is more serious: text labels are worthless if presented in an illegible font. I'll have to see if there's a way to install different fonts. With a few thousand tunes on the device I need some good labels to navigate through them. If the display issues can be fixed, I may come back and give this another star. If they can't, I may come back and dock it one. I'd up the rating to 4-1/2 stars. If they made setup easier and less obscure, I'd give it five.

The battery in my old iPod was finally fizzling out and quickly loosing it's charges. As I searched for a replacement MP3 player I wanted to make sure it allowed for multiple playlists. This item was advertised as allowing for the creation of multiple playlists for your songs. I am happy to report that it is very easy to create and edit multiple playlists. I was also looking to utilize the FM radio to enjoy sports broadcasts when I was out of the house. The FM radio feature is better than I had hoped as it automatically scans for stations and lets you save them as a favorite station. You also have the ability to manually scan up or down one frequency at a time. The Bluetooth setup was quick and easy and sounds great. The file transfer is as simple as advertised. Plug into your PC or laptop and then click and drag the files onto the MP3 player. One note that I hope will help someone with the file transfer. Once you transfer your files you need to "scan" the player to find the files. They don't automatically show up on the player under the music app. In the music app under your profile there is a scan feature. Use the scan feature and choose "all folders". I found that I had a few different sound file types in my collection. If you just click scan it won't find all of the songs as some are relegated to a different folder since they are of a different file extension. All I know is when I scanned all folders it was able to find them. Another thing to watch for is that if you purchased songs from iTunes then those songs are protected. They will transfer but not show up as playable on the MP3 player. You can search the web for a number of easy solutions to that issue (yes I found one and am good to go). I think this is a fantastic value for your money. I don't use most of the apps as I simply want a MP3 player for music. This player comes loaded with various apps that you can simply uninstall and free up memory. The player comes with a tiny SD card that pops into the side of the player to give you tons of memory for your songs, books, pictures, etc. I am very happy with this purchase and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good MP3 player but not busting the bank in the process. Thank you.

The most important thing to understand about this device is it does not have the Google Play Store. As a dedicated MP3 player it's adequate. The included HiBy music app was easy enough to figure out and played MP3 files I loaded into a card. It seems to handle mp3 tags and fetches some album art, though not always the correct art. For the price, it's fine. It does what I need. It's probably fine for a kid or teenager as a dedicated music device, but don't expect it to do anything else. Edit: in response to my original review, Innioasis emailed me the instructions for APK installs. The device has parental controls on by default that block APKs. The password must be set before app install can be enabled. This improves things as I can now search for an adequate music player app myself but compatibility is still challenging due to the lack of Google Store libraries and the outdated OS. It does mean I should be able to update any apps (like Spotify) as long as they continue to support Android 8. I was able to find a version of VLC that will run, which improves usability significantly over HiBy.

UPDATE: I've had this unit since July of 2025, it's currently January of '26, not one issue. It simply performs well whether it's in my car or using it somewhere else. I finally started using Bluetooth headphones along with my always wired output to my car, and though others have apparently had wireless difficulty, I have had nothing but success. I purchased a Bluetooth wireless remote control for this player to give me steering wheel controls, and the setup works flawlessly! The control was asin number B0DC685617, "Bluetooth media button remote control" by a company called "GLOBELEC". I left a review of that product as well. Place the control on the BACK - SIDE of a steering wheel spoke where your fingers naturally fall and you get unobtrusive buttons to control the player. The connection to the control will eventually timeout, so I have the Bluetooth connection screen from settings always active and simply hit the little square "recent apps" button to quickly access the connect screen. Tap it twice again and I'm back to the music. Read on for my original review... I use this player mostly in my car, as I like my phone to do “phone things” and not be tied up with music. If you are looking to do the same, read on as I will give you my tricks and tips for this unit, which is an excellent media player for your car (or anywhere, really) if you set it up correctly. I have vehicles that HAVE very good aftermarket stereos, but after getting this new version of the Innioasis player, I am thinking about using one in all of my cars, as this unit gives capabilities you can’t get without spending a ton of money, like a customizable 10 band equalizer AS WELL AS a customizable 10 band PARAMETRIC EQ with Q settings. Digital signal processors for car audio that do the same thing are about $300, and this comes with one built-in. I had a previous generation of this Innioasis MP3 player and was impressed with its performance and features, but a few things annoyed me. This was entirely because of the version of HiByMusic it came with, NOT the player itself. With this new version of HiBy 4.3.1, I have almost no complaints. The only thing I wish it did was give me steering wheel controls using USB tethering, as my phone is connected via bluetooth. I have the player magnetically mounted within finger reach of my steering wheel, so honestly, it’s not that much of a drawback. The hardware itself is top-notch, and I can think of nothing to gripe about there. My old unit lasted nearly 2 years in my vehicle, but finally died as the battery swelled up and popped the screen out. Considering I left it in the car year-round, baking in the heat and freezing in the winter (I won’t do that to my new one), I’m very happy with it’s longevity. Like most techie things, taking some time to experiment and learn what the unit does will pay off later. This is a VERY good player. Quality hardware coupled with an intuitive user interface that can be customized to the users liking. After my experience with my last Innioasis player, and testing of this new one, I simply cannot see why anyone would NOT like these players. One of my biggest annoyances with my previous version of this player was that the text was so small as to be very difficult to read without glasses. This version fixed it: simply set font size to “Largest” in the unit’s system settings (Settings/Display/Font Size), then in HiBy settings, choose “System Defined” as your font size (HiBy Settings/Font size settings). This made the song titles and other things actually readable while driving, and honestly it’s a whole lot easier on the eyes even if you aren’t using the player in your car. Having set this parameter so you can actually see the thing, here are some other HiBy settings I find very useful, for driving or any other use. This is written with tablet novices in mind... TRACK TRANSITIONS: I set mine to gapless, as I have many albums that one song flows right into the next one. Most music will have some silence at the beginning and end anyway, unless one track flows right into the next. This will let more of your music sound like you expect. I have aftermarket head units that will not let you choose this simple feature. DRIVING FRIENDLY MODE: You don’t need to be driving to appreciate this one. Turning this ON will allow the system “Back” arrow to be used to help navigate folders and playlists in HiBy. Just turn it on, you’ll be happy you did. PLAY THROUGH FOLDERS: Personally I prefer this as this will allow you to continue on to the next album in a folder and keep the music going. My music is arranged in folders by GENRE, ARTIST, then ALBUM. Any miscellaneous songs I may have by that artist are just sitting “loose” in the ARTIST folder. This makes for probably the easiest way to find your music. “Play through folders” continues playing alphabetically through all folders after finishing the songs in the folder you started with. OTHER SETTINGS: You can change the color of the HiBy app in the “Custom themes” menu. I find black to be the best for the car, particularly at night, but experiment to see what suits you. By the way, if you are driving at night and the screen is too bright, the “Night Light” feature of the Android system may be useful – adjust it to your liking in settings, then activating it can be as simple as one swipe downward from the top of the unit and hitting the little crescent moon icon. You can even schedule it to activate at night. If you don’t like the yellowish cast it creates, swiping downward TWICE will let you easily access the screen brightness setting, and just tap anywhere on the slider to position it. Easy to do while driving with minimal distraction. You can change the order of the items in the “menu bar”, the bar that contains “Album”, “Folder”, “Artist”, etc. (also works in the playlist menu bar). Click the drop down arrow on the right side of the bar and you will be presented with a list of possible sort options. While this allows you to choose how you sort music, you can also tap and hold a particular item, then re-arrange it, thus changing the order on the bar. I prefer to have “Folder” show up first on the bar as that is how I typically want to see things. I cleaned up the desktop area of the unit by combining all the apps except “Music” and “Settings” into a common folder (tap and hold an icon, then move it on top of another icon, repeating as desired). Then, tap and hold the “Music” icon, and a menu will appear. At the top of this menu will be an icon with four little boxes – click that button and you will be presented with an option to create a “Widget”. Touch and hold the menu then drag to the desktop. This makes a functioning “Player widget” as well as creates a nice big target of an icon to tap while you are driving, should you ever end up outside of the app. I placed mine at the top of the screen, the “Music” and “Settings” icons as well as the folder containing all the other apps at the bottom of the screen. A ten band equalizer is accessible from the main playing screen by tapping the three vertical dots at the top-right of the screen. You can now save your own EQ settings as presets that you can name, and access them from the first button on the left of the EQ screen. There is a reset button at the top of the screen as well, allowing you to quickly “zero” all the sliders and start over. HiBy also has a ten band PARAMETRIC EQ located in the main settings (Look for “PEQ” just below the “Equalizer” settings). This is a very powerful tool...set up correctly, you can fine tune your audio to compensate for acoustic deficiencies in your vehicle or its speakers. This is expert level, and if you don’t understand it, just leave it alone. Bottom line, this is a tremendous value added to the system. Playlists are easy to create and manage as well. Be sure to backup your playlists...I didn’t, but was lucky enough to get my old unit powered up. HiBy was able to export and properly import a relative path M3U file from my old player. Exporting a playlist can be done by going to your playlists, long-pressing the playlist you wish to backup and selecting one of the backup options. There is a “Mandatory landscape” mode in HiBy settings/HiByMusic Laboratory, if you want everything oriented that direction. If the player ever dies, you can pry up the screen to get to the micro-sd card that holds all of the information and music you have. I always keep my music on an external micro-sd card, so I never have to worry about loosing it if the unit dies. Even so, when it does finally quit, there’s a memory card in there if you want one. Consider getting the pack of tempered glass screen protectors the company also sells. Easy to apply and saves on scratches and cracking. That’s it. If you want one, buy this one. I doubt you can do any better, even for MORE money. P.s., I finally CORRECTLY organized all of the ID3 tags in my mp3 collection, getting EVERY file in an album and tidying up all that data. When all of that is done correctly, searching my files is not only breeze, but I now have created my own radio stations (essentially) by simply playing a genre and hitting the shuffle button. If you haven't done this with your collection, get the free application "Mp3Tag" to make the job easy. I wound up consolidating some genres for my own taste, keeping artists in VERY broadly defined genres, but it makes it workable.

I was very impressed with the look and feel of it… It just feels “solid“ in your hand. It comes loaded with many of the most popular music streaming apps (Apple, Amazon, Spotify, Spotify, kids, etc.) it also comes with a few other apps for reading e-books. Battery life on it seems to be very good. It does not come loaded with any of the video streaming apps (Hulu, Prime, Peacock, etc.) but it does have its own video player that will allow you to load videos onto your SD card and watch them that way. It easily upgraded to one terabyte of storage, with the additional purchase of a 1TB SD card. The OS is Android based, and feels very much like an android phone in your hand. One of the downsides to it though is it does not use PlayStore to allow you to add extra apps. When I researched the topic, it is HIGHLY recommended that you do not attempt to “jailbreak” the Innioasis G3, due to a high probability of bricking it. It does allow you to “side load“ apps from APK files. Be sure they are from a reputable source. I was able to load a couple apps of my choice that way, although that is at your own risk. I was able to easily install IHeartRadio through an APK. There are third-party cases available for the Innioasis G3 that make it even more rugged, and are affordable. I also purchased.MagSafe magnets that attached to the back of the case so I can hang it in the car if I wish. It does have a built-in FM radio, but that requires you to use the included wired headphones. What attracted me to this product in the first place was, although I have multiple of the “leading brand old school” MP3 players, I was looking for one that had Bluetooth capability. I have used this with my above the ear headset, and it paired perfectly. Another thing that impressed me about this device was the way it buffers as it downloads. One day I was working out in the yard and had to run to the store for something and still had my headphones on. It was not until I was on the way home from the store that I realized that even though I was no longer connected to my Wi-Fi, it had played music the entire time I was away from home. I am considering purchasing several of these for Christmas gifts this year! Pros: - nice compact size - great sound quality - Easy to set up and use - Easy to expand storage capability - beautiful display - A great value - includes most of the popular audio streaming platforms - good battery life - Bluetooth - includes Google Chrome browser - easy file transfer and management - touch very responsive - fits nicely in a shirt pocket Cons:: - does not use Google PlayStore, so it requires a little research to learn to load extra apps, but it is not difficult - keyboard is rather small for fat fingers
