Clip Mp3 Player with Bluetooth 5.0, Mini Portable Lossless Sound Music Player with FM Radio Voice Recorder Video Earphones for Running, Support up to 128GB(Black)

The media could not be loaded.  I've covered a lot of this in my video review, including an unboxing and a talk-through of the features and even a demonstration of some of the functionality, but I'll write it out here for those who aren't inclined to watch a video and listen to me talk about what I'm doing/seeing.The Ruizu X52 is a great little device for the price. It's packed full of features, and for $30, it may be the best MP3 player you can find in the price range. In fact, it's a little unfair to just call it an MP3 player because it also supports FLAC lossless audio. The cheapest SanDisk Clip device with BlueTooth is $20 more, and the similarly-priced Clip Plus can only hold 32 GB of additional songs. This device supports a full 128 GB MicroSD Card, which gives you plenty of capacity for music on the go. More to the point, this device supports FLAC natively. Tried and tested. SanDisk products do not.First, the music player itself. You have two ways to access your music files. One is through the "Music" app in the menu, and the other is through the file folders. Either way, the device will automatically load any music that you put onto the internal 8 GB of storage, which is plenty of space to hold many hours of MP3 music and even a decent amount of FLAC files. I put the entire Beatles Discography (albums from 1962-1970 plus the Past Masters) in FLAC format and used less than half the space. Use MP3 files instead and you'll have even more space, but that's still a pretty good amount of music in lossless quality to stream through my car speakers, my bluetooth speakers, or through headphones. As long as your music has been appropriately tagged, navigation is easy enough. One small point of pain - because of file length reading limits, artist and album names get truncated after a certain number of characters. However, all tracks display full names in a scrolling fashion.The audio quality itself is great. While I would definitely recommend upgrading from the included earbuds as they're a little uncomfortable for my ears (I personally use a set of JVC wired earbuds and a pair of Sony Bluetooth Earbuds depending on whether I want to be wireless or not,) they are passable in a pinch and it's probably not a bad idea to hold onto them as a backup. The device includes a 3.5mm to 3.5mm aux cable and that works great in the aux input in my car, enabling me to use the player even with my phone paired to the Bluetooth.Speaking of the Bluetooth, this device paired to every pair of headphones and every Bluetooth Speaker I tried it with. I've had issues with other units connecting to some devices, but this one, I don't.My only pet peeve with the device is that the MicroSD card does not load automatically and you cannot read off both the MicroSD card and the internal memory at the same time. However, it does accept a full 128 GB MicroSD card which is a much higher capacity than most players I've dealt with. My best advice for this: put music that you know you're most likely going to want to hear on the internal 8 GB storage so that it is available immediately on start-up, then load all the music you want on the player on the 128 GB MicroSD Card so that if you decide you want a more diverse library you still have access to it. It would be nice to see a future firmware upgrade that allows the device to remember what music is on the card and to use both the card and the internal storage at the same time. But again, I don't view this as a deal breaker so much as something someone should be aware of. To load the music on the card, in the music section, instead of choosing artist/album/etc., scroll down to select which memory card you want to use then tell it to make a list when it asks. Within a minute or so, you'll have access to everything on the memory card.I'll address a few other elements of the player.Bluetooth: As I mentioned, works with everything. The quality of the sound is great. Everything I paired it to sync'd quickly and easily and did not drop. I will note that there is no EQ setting that I can access through BlueTooth. While I did not have any particular need to alter the EQ, this is just something to be aware of: EQ can be adjusted for wired headphones, but not Bluetooth. If you switch from Bluetooth back to wired, you do need to restart the device to access the EQ settings again. (There is a custom EQ module for wired headphones.)Video - I would probably not use this as a dedicated video player myself for one simple reason: the screen size is small and the video would require a conversion. There is a conversion tool on the device and it does work, if you want to try it. The device came with a sample video on it. The quality of the video was decent, but again, the small screen is not ideal for this function, so unless you have a reason why you would need to watch movies on a very small device, you probably won't use this function much. Also, audio will only work with wired headphones with the device's current configuration.F.M. Radio - Works well and the signal is great in the L.A. area, so I'd imagine most people living in an area with strong radio signals will be able to enjoy this feature. If you live in rural areas or are in the woods, you probably won't get radio signal, but then again you're doubtful to get much signal up there with any consumer radio. Does require wired headphones, since the headphone wire acts as the antennae.Voice recorder - The device does have a small microphone on the bottom. The voice recorder works well in a pinch and the quality of the audio is decent. You probably will not want to record concerts with this thing, but quick audio memos and lectures (provided the volume of the speaker is adequate) will work just fine.Photos - Again small screen. However, you can definitely store and view photos on this device. The screen's your limit as far as quality.A few other things this device includes of note: a pedometer (works!) an eBook reader (comes with a sample text file, again, I'm not sure if you want to read documents on a screen this small but it is possible if for some reason you need to,) it also has a basic calendar (dates only, no memo storage,) and a stopwatch.To summarize? I would recommend this as a BUY. I am enjoying this player. I have tried a few other small portable players with FLAC capability and none worked as well as this one did. Some did not play FLAC at all which was very disappointing.To RUIZU I would recommend three future firmware upgrades (the firmware on this device is listed as version 1.0.) I've listed these in terms of most important to least important in my opinion.1.) Make it so that when I insert a MicroSD card, the card is automatically read and the information is saved to the device. That way even if I have to switch between cards, I at least do not have to wait for the information on the card to load every time unless I add more songs to it.2.) If possible, make it so that I can use both the internal 8 GB storage and the 128 GB SD card at the same time. This is not a deal breaker of course, but being able to use all 136 GB at once without switching would be nice.3.) I've noticed with other players (iPod, iPhone, the SanDisk Clip) that if the headphones get pulled out from the device, the music stops at the point that the headphones became disconnected. This may require a sensor or circuit that is not in this device and it's the least important thing, but it would be a nice feature to see in future players even if it cannot be implemented in this one, providing it can be done without significant cost increases of course.I hope that this review and the accompanying video will help people who may be curious as to how this player works. I read a lot of reviews on Amazon where I feel like a reviewer is either blowing smoke, only highlighting the positives OR negatives of a device, or just giving a five star by default, then when I actually try the product I find that they left a lot out. I feel, at this price point, with these features, and the abilities of the player, this warrants a five star review, but that the buyer should be aware of what they're getting for the price. If you want something that will do your shopping for you, spend about 30 times more and buy a cell phone. If you want a great little music player on a budget for working out, hiking, riding the train to work or ignoring the world (including your phone) on your lunch break with a surprising amount of capabilities, buy this.

So, first things first, it works to play music and the sound quality isn't absolutely terrible, which is an immediate plus. Also, probably due to the aggressive default sleep timers, I've been using this for almost a week at work and the battery is just now hitting half.However everything else from there is just kind of downhill.The UI is awful. Navigation is a chore because of buttons that outright change in fun tion depending on the menu you're in. Sometimes they will scroll, sometimes they'll take you to a different menu. It's all context sensitive and you aren't given the context. Also there's just some weird decisions, for example to toggle shuffle you need to start a playlist, then hit up to take you to a menu for things like EQ, volume limiting, and playlist creation then inside that menu you choose the option "Play mode" and shuffle is tucked in there along with repeat.While on the topic of shuffle, it does the same thing most of these cheap players do and doesn't really shuffle that well. I'm not sure what the exact method is but it's not uncommon to get the same 5 songs playing 3 times in a row.Also, similar to other players like this, this also doesn't respect ID3 tags on files. I manually went through and tagged every file on this player using MP3Tag, all were disregarded and everything was listed as Unknown Song by Unknown Artist on Unknown Album.It will read lyrics, but only .lrc files, that are the same name as the song, and not metadata embedded lyrics. Having support for lyrics is a joke though as every line is cut off. Asian languages fair a bit better due to simply using less characters, but because of those aggressive default sleep timers I mentioned earlier you'll probably only see two lines before the screen goes to sleep.The FM radio just doesn't work, with headphones in I was standing right next to the broadcast tower for a local station and it wouldn't pick up that, or any, station.There's an "Ebook" function, but all it does is read .txt files. Though why you'd want to read anything on a screen that's less than an inch and displays 14 characters per line with 5 lines on screen at a time is beyond me.There's also picture and video functions. Pictures are fine if you get something that's the right aspect ratio and you don't need too much detail. This is, however, one of the absolute worst video players ever though.And finally, I've experienced a few slowdowns while playing music, like the music itself slows down because the player can't keep up, and two hard crashes that shutdown the player and required I toggle the power switch to get it to power up again.All in all, it isn't the worst MP3 player on the market, but the crashes and slowdowns make it a complete no from me.

I tried multiple ones in the $30 range (IHOUMI, Alexan, etc...) and this was the one that worked so well, buttons feel the best, and has lasted a long time I now buy backups just in case they ever stop making them.

Small size is very deceiving as it has the functions and versatility of an MP3 much bigger and costing much more, First of all the instruction have a lot to be desired in the lack of correct English wording format and in which they are not correct and have left out some of the way a couple of buttons function. which took me about an hour to figure out the true functioning of two of the buttons that they neglected to address correctly (need to be proof read by someone who is very proficient in English before having instruction printed ) the sound is OK at best but not the greatest even though it has an equalizer function with preset setting, I believe a very good set of ear buds will make the world of difference. the back lighting is very good contrast as with the fonts and font sizes, So Very Easy to drag and load / upload music from my PC by far the best I have used. I made up a folder with several hundred songs and all I did was select all the songs and then sent/copied to the player and within seconds was done so fast ....... very impressed ........ All in all a real nice MP3 player and for the price not bad at all

The good things first - it's very light, and the spring clip works well. Actual hardware buttons - while durability is an issue, it's way more tactile. There is a sliding on/off switch which isn't ideal because it might catch on something and switch off unexpectedly.The good things end there. The sound quality from the headphone jack is very poor with zero bass and a harsh and spiky midrange. Things don't improve on Bluetooth, it takes between three and five attempts to connect and pair with TWS buds (which have a specific signalling protocol). With the JBL 104BT connection is easier, but still not that great. Once connected it stays on - mostly. Drops do happen, and you wouldn't want that in the middle of a workout.The interface is clunky, slow, and can only do one thing at a time. To browse images, it will stop, clear the whole playlist, make a new playlist of images and then you can browse them. To start playing music again the whole process is reversed. It feels like watching a cocoon, expect instead of a pretty butterfly there's this atrocious sound. While the actual display is very poor, this is not something meant to be looked at.The plastic is cheap and nasty. It doesn't feel worth the money, and I'm sure it will go on to prove that in time. While it's easy to think about something better, the options are all of the same ilk. The first decent BT player is three times the money, so think about that.

The media could not be loaded.  I like its compact size & amazingly light weight. Very easy & simple to operate. Worth the money for sure. Clip option is really good for comfortable secured feel always. It's one more important option is u can listen to FM radio also record it. Voice recording is also very helpful in this... If u want all power packed in mini one u can blindly go for it guys ! NOTE : PLS. USE 5V 500 MAH ADAPTER ONLY OR USE POWER BANK WITH LOW MODE CHARGING OPTION LIKE MI, OPPO, ONEPLUS, REALME, ANKER & AUKEY FOR LONGER LIFE ASSURED.

Desvantagens: Bateria não presta, nas caixas via Bluetooth (Principalmente JBL) o som fica bem baixo, é muito pequeno e caro para o que oferece.Vantagens: Não vi até agora, quando tiver eu coloco aqui.

Just what I was looking for. Great battery life. Tiny but powerful. Easy to carry around. Good sound quality if you use with good headphones. Couldn't connect bluetooth with my phone but it worked well with my Boat airdopes

Volume control sound quality and user interface are all good and works smoothly but you need to fix the Bluetooth connectivity problem. The Bluetooth connectivity range should at least be 2metres.
