Really impressive sound!
If you ask my wife, I've gone through too many MP3 players looking for the best one for my needs. I've had a lot of the unknown brands and some are actually really good..just not exactly what I wanted. The one I've been using since summer goes everywhere with me...but I needed something BETTER. Got it with this.Let me preface this by saying this is not for beginners. If the extent of your music playing comes from apps on your phone, you might be lost in the beginning. If you're looking for a touch screen with big pretty buttons, this isn't it. I read another review saying the user experience is bad. I think that's absurd. If you're serious about music but on a tight budget, this has an experience you will appreciate. The UI is extremely intuitive and there are a lot of options and settings to fiddle with to get this set up exactly the way you want it.DAC - This has a great DAC for the price. It's not the most current generation, but at this price point that is to be expected. It does the job and does it well. My FLAC and MP3 sound fantastic pumped through a solid pair of IEM headphones. Blows away other DACs in the next tier down. TI makes a really great DAC!Sound - Even my lower quality MP3s I've been keeping since the days of Napster sound great. Obviously you can tell the difference in quality when one of the old files pops up on the shuffle, but it doesn't sound grainy or glitchy. My high quality 320kbps files and the few albums I've ripped from CD to FLAC are where this shines. It is absolutely phenomenal to listen to hi res audio on this device. I am really impressed at the sound for the price.Build - Another review says this device is lacking in build quality. This is an aluminum brick. The buttons are plastic but seem completely solid. The scrolling wheel is textured plastic but feels very sturdy. I had no problems navigating the menus with it. The buttons are all perfectly labeled and make navigating the interface that much easier. The screen is of a decent resolution for this type of device as well.EQ - This has a very competent 10 band equalizer with lots of presets. Unlike in low-end hi-res players, the equalizer here makes a difference. I've got it set on Rock and it sounds fantastic.I/O - I've used this device with bluetooth headphones, bluetooth earbuds, a bluetooth stereo, single bluetooth speaker, and my car bluetooth. No connectivity problems at all. I get the best sound out of my wired IEMs, though. Bluetooth is fine, but nothing compares to a decent pair of headphones. You can also connect external devices (I used a generic USB stick connected with a micro-USB OTG cable) and get music from those. I've got a 128GB MicroSD card installed and am listening to this device streaming through an Anker Soundcore about 25 feet away as I type this review. The HiBy Music app works as expected, and streaming from my phone through this is really a simple process IF YOU READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. HahaInterface - Three themes to choose from..Doesn't do much but change the color scheme. What I LOVE about the interface is that you can access important settings from the now playing screen. Turn on and off bluetooth, display lyrics, show album art (looks great), and access the EQ. The back button does what it says, and the menu button does what it says. There is literally no issue with the UI for someone who understands file structure or has ever used a computer. There are two other settings menus accessed from the home screen. You can customize nearly everything.Battery - I fully charged this after receiving. Took about 1.5 hours to fully charge. As of this moment, I've listened to music either through headphones or streaming through bluetooth for about sixteen hours. Mostly streaming to bluetooth. Battery bar shown in the photos is showing about 50%. In real world use, this device might need to be charged once a week, especially if you're mainly listening through wired headphones.Overall impressions: THIS is the MP3 player I've been looking for. It's inexpensive, built like a truck, looks good, and has more settings than I can shake a stick at. I am extremely pleased with my purchase.

This is a fantastic product
It is amazing all of the advances over the years have allowed such a genius system for under $200. I still buy compact disc for a good home stereo, even though I know I could have switched to all USB/Tf. But I have so many CD's from when I was in high school and I converted all of my most favorite songs to .WAV, and I am aware this can also play .MP3. I believe I may have a little more lossless audio with .WAV. Connected to 2 paired speakers of the release of "DOSS Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker with Big Sound," I have easy wireless stereo. I could have bought better speakers but I needed everything to fit in pants and or shirt pockets. Thank you. I did convert CD music as well as rip some YouTube videos, and I end up having to convert .mp4 to .wav, or .wmv to .wav, or if all I have is a .mp3 song I guess I don't need to convert it but I still do some like DJ edit and convert it to .wav again. I did not have any connection loss through the entire time I was riding the Ebike when I keep the speakers near the music player. I had to buy this system or some system, because I was attracted to pairing speakers and it only works with a Bluetooth transmitter. My speakers work with TF card but cannot pair 2 speakers without this lovely Surfans F20 or other Bluetooth transmitter. I know I got my money worth out of this. You all could just accept that this is an inexpensive portable system, and it is good, but it has limits. I did a lot of leveling myself with many songs in Sony Vegas Pro and Sound Blaster Creative WaveStudio, so I can just play my songs "as is," preloaded with my effects. I'm not going to bs. There is more than enough high tech features with Surfans, but not as incredible bass as my more costly super power movie pc and its extreme sound card, with the big bass headphones. Honesty, for deep rich bass to be heard in a wide open public space, it requires larger speakers, and nothing I can carry in my pocket, and I never intended to use this with headphones. I can be low key with the Surfans player and the small speakers I got. Now I might try to test out better speakers in the future, but I don't need it because I have big home speakers and I would get a big bumping car stereo if I had the time, although I would like to lock any car subwoofer down so I can race the car without it shifting. I like to be extreme and on the edge. I'm not going to lie. I couldn't find any Bose bluetooth pairing speakers on Amazon until after I bought a pair of DOSS, but with my extreme desires, I would find a way to be unhappy with small Bose speakers. This product is worth it because the cost is fair and it is very advanced. When all is said and done, all I wanted was something that would play music and did not want to pay more for a chance for anything better currently. There are ways this system might be able to get better sound but I'm not going to bother to try to attach sound reprocessing hardware. Anything might be possible in theory. I like how small Surfans is. I attach my little speakers to my clothing and avoid using headphones. I fit Surfans in my pocket. I have listened to my waltz mix while plugging the big home receiver into the little music player through the headphone port as if it was an AUX port, and it sounded fine. I have large Bose Stereo speakers in my room but no current connected subwoofer because it was damaged. Surfans F20 is not bad. It is everything that I thought it would be and more. I could even use this to put on a table in any room where there is no speakers and use my little easy to move speakers, or humble myself to using some headphones and use it like a walkman. I don't want to discredit how good a $30 speaker can be, because nobody is paying much money to start with. Songs can be edited with audio software to maximize a particular music player and or speaker's sound quality and max volume, and it can sound more fine tuned with no distortion, and it can help me not have to adjust EQ and Volume from one song to the next. It is a lot of work but I am doing that and as a tribute to this music player. I am making remixes of many songs I have never worked on before, so I can celebrate what I think is good music and is a lot of lovable songs where people play either electric, acoustic, and other instruments, and really sing. I really don't care what people think about me. Some singers have a great voice and I enjoy hearing it loud. Nobody cares what kind of speakers I have. What matters more is that I have good sweet songs that can be heard alone, and or by anyone to share it with. I sold my Oldsmobile and sold one sub to somebody and then used one in my room until I accidentally fried it. What I like about this Surfans music player is how I can continually listen to music while traveling and while each song is in an editing process, without having to waste recordable discs. I can write 24bit music or maybe 32bit, to 48hz & 44hz better sound files, but I'm not sure if this system can play higher than 44hz/24bit/32bit, or if it would downscale it from 48hz to 44hz? It had no trouble smoothly playing my 24bit 48hz (.wav) compilation I've recently been making of a beautiful waltz, march, and sweet sound replays; it's an extremely edited mix, preserving the original songs in the classical characteristic, adjusting paces to maximize dance potential. It is symphony and orchestra as well as instrument people doing nice covers of those things. It has all the wonderful human manual instruments including drum, piano, brass, and strings. This assembly song takes up over 424 Megabytes and is 25m&46s length long. Most songs I saved as 44hz 16bit stereo. The battery does last a long time. I can enjoy the no gap feature of the music player and write the audio like it is in dvd chapters or can render it as whole whole piece. As of 9/17/24 I have created multiple folders of songs and I inserted myself singing too in one of those folders, with certain good songs, and it is fun and seems real if I get a good voice recorded not only because that is sweet, but because I can find songs where any person(s) do instrument backgrounds with no singer and then I can be the one to sing it; it is beautiful knowing that I didn't do all of it myself even though I can play the piano. I don't have a good piano at home and that sucks when I want to record. I have a keyboard that has had some technical problem lately but it is pretty good and it cost way more than the piano my parents bought. I also have my own style and other people have different style. I've never thought about pressing the same key over and over again when I cover music, but the way one woman does it I swear it is absolutely gorgeous. She covers rock songs.
