96GB MP3 Player with 90 Hours Long Battery Life,Bluetooth 5.0,Phinistec Z6 Digital Audio Player with Loud Speaker, 2.4'' IPS Portable Music Player,FM Radio,Voice Recorder Support up to 256GB(Black)

The product is great and the battery is extremely good I has not had to charge it sincerely I gotten it and it's only been a week so far I been using it as my sleeping mp3 player to help me sleep at night and so far it's done the job The loading the music was easy because I know how to get around the slow process of getting the music into the player itself I use. Sd card and it recognizes it and I haven't filled it yet with my music files The Bluetooth is good and the sound output was very low at first but when I got a ahold of the seller email them about it they immediately fixed the problem and the Bluetooth output is louder this time where I don't have to set the headphones high just as mid way The buttons on the side are solid and I sometimes use the Bluetooth for changing the volume because I want to save on the wear and tear on the buttons and the wired headphones I have are great with them The screen is good I can see it at night and not as much glare in my face the interface is great easy to get around just like a ole school player in the 20's Perfect for the money value if something happens to this one I will buy another one because the battery is great in it and making it so much easier for me not to worry about it where was this player back in the 2000s I wish it was there at the time I cannot express how much I love this mp3 player and the support team behind it so fast and responsive for me thank you making this perfect player I only wish I could've gotten the case with it that would been nice but I didn't know if it had a case now I know I be buying it next to keep my player from getting scratched up the screen part and the back I don't use the shuffle part on it

This player has the longest lasting battery out of any other player, no comparison. It states it has 90 hours play time. This is no lie. I only need to charge it once a month. This solid metal and glass MP3 player makes Sony's overpriced player look well ... way, way, way overpriced. The only problem is that some of the folders names of artists and albums seem to get shortened, but since I know what artists and albums they are with the shortened name, it is something I can overlook, especially when it is better than most MP3 player brands and so affordable. There are loads of cheap, crappy MP3 players that have been flooded into the market. This player is cheap pricewise, but I assure you, it is of great quality. It's solid, has great sound quality, and is easy to navigate and transfer songs. I'm very impressed. Just wish it had more internal storage: only 32GB. You can add more external memory, but I don't like doing that because in the past it has been partitioned from the internal storage which makes it a hassle for playback selection and they don't work together, unless this has been fixed nowadays, but I doubt it. If it had 64GB internal storage, that would've been superb.

When the player first arrived I was impressed. This thing is solid. (Could be used as a defensive weapon if you were attacked while jogging! You wouldn't want to get hit with it.) Definitely of sturdy build. And it was fully charged. But before doing anything I applied the screen protectors to the front and back of the unit. Unfortunately, as others have mentioned, it's quite difficult if not impossible to apply them without a few air bubbles remaining beneath them. Annoying but not the end of the world. The next step was to pair it with some earbuds. And though I have a few pairs and other Bluetooth equipment, no matter which I chose or what I did, only one channel would play--even though I would get the message from both channels that it had successfully/fully connected. So... After much troubleshooting to make sure the error wasn't mine or with my equipment, I rechecked the manual and found the instructions to email the manufacturer. Thankfully, the long story short is they couldn't have been more helpful, responsive, and gracious. I was immediately promised a free replacement as they felt the fault lay with the unit (a relief to hear) and within a few days the new player arrived. Fortunately it worked without issue, and I found the sound to be excellent. I actually ended up connecting it to some fairly high-end stuff and listened for hours as it was quite enjoyable. The manufacturer also recommended and supplied a software update which provided a number of upgrades and a few fixes, including a customizable EQ. (Much appreciated as the presets, as others have noted, to say the least are less than good.) But truth be told I'm not into bells and whistles. I don't want 5,000 features and crappy audio. And so I'm very happy with the player. If you choose good source material this player will deliver Great sound. And with the capacity now of this and many other players, plus how much you can easily add to this one, there's no reason to even use MP3s or other such formats. Because of limited capacity years ago compression was an absolute necessity. But no matter what may be said or claimed about it, it Always results in at least some loss of quality. Listen for yourself. I've had the great privilege of hearing some of the best audio equipment that money can buy, but I am a relativist. As I've said in other reviews it makes no sense to compare a Ferrari with a Pontiac--even though the Pontiac might be quite good for the money (I drive an old Vibe that has nearly 240,000 miles on it, but it's never broken down, doesn't use oil--literally no more than a few ounces between changes--or other fluids, and still gets over 30 miles per gallon highway. It's reliable and economical, but again it's no super car.) And so at its price point I see the performance of the Z6 in a very positive light. I learned from our correspondence via email that Phinistec is in it for the long haul, and they plan to roll out more models, features, and upgrades this coming year and beyond. And that was good to hear. As for the Z6, I can't stress enough how happy I am with it. What is more important than sound quality when it comes to audio equipment of any kind? Yes, it could use a belt clip, some improvements as far as the interface and so forth, but again much of that is in the works. A great unit if you care about audio... (I did not try the video or ebook features and so forth. Only the player section.) Edit: Forgot to comment on the sound quality of the internal speaker. And I'm trying to be kind here because the manufacturer was so gracious and helpful with resolving the issue with the first player I received... But it's just not good... Suffice to say I wouldn't count on using it for much. Hopefully an update for that is in the works as well.

I ordered this after reading reviews that the company was responsive and fixed some bugs and annoyances in the software. This is rare for companies to do this and tells me they stand by their product and want to make the consumer happy and make the product the best it can be. I applaud them for that and they got my business. I was also impressed with the packaging and what the unit came with. This player is built like a tank. It is as heavy as my cell phone which is to be expected since it has heavy batteries in it that give you 90 hours of listening pleasure. I use it for trips and working out. It is probably not good for running unless you strap it to your arm. The sound is great for audiophiles. The player comes with built-in 32 GB. It took about an hour to transfer 500 songs in FLAC format. I also bought a 128 gb high-speed card for it. I have not loaded it yet but will do so via my computer. Note that you will need to format the card to FAT32 format. You will not be able to do this with a Windows Computer. I used a program called Rufus to format the card. I will also transfer FLAC files directly to the card. Also, keep in mind that the speed of your file transfer depends on the hardware you have and the speed of the card itself. The card I have is about 130MB/s. I did a test and put the card it in the player and uploaded it connected to my computer the player. It took about 3 minutes per 40 minutes album worth of songs. I am not sure what people are talking about adding playlists. Maybe this was an issue with older firmware? I use a free program called MusicBee and create my playlists within it. When I connect the player to my computer, BumbleBee automatically acknowledges the Z6 and the extra card I put in it. I set up BumbleBee so that when the player is connected it automatically uploads the songs and whatever playlists I create into the Z6. I am glad the company added an equalizer component. Every set of phones and buds I have sounded completely different and every set of ears are different. EQ is a necessity. It would also be nice if they added auto volume leveling. I know that is asking for a lot at this price point. I am getting ready to go on a 7-hour flight and I am not at all worried about the battery life of this player. My earbuds will give out long before the player will. Some folks are complaining about the price, but to be honest given the responsiveness of the company and how well this thing is built....it is well worth the price. The built-in speaker is okay for listening to such things as audiobooks and playback for things you record. It is annoying for me to listen to music on it. There really needs to be a persistent switch in the software to cut off the speaker. Every time you disconnect your Bluetooth the speaker will play. This is not cool if you are in places like a library. For those having issues with showing album art. I embed album art in each of my files roughly 200x200 pixels. They will then show up on the player. You will need to do this through whatever jukebox software you may use to catalog your songs. Most modern software does this now. Like anything, once you use the player, the controls will become intuitive to you. It's a pocket player, not a $1000 cell phone. The Bluetooth connects fast. I connected this player to 2 cars. Both vehicles connected easily via Bluetooth. I have an older 2011 Lexus with older Bluetooth and a newer Kia with newer Bluetooth. The radio controls on both cars changed songs. The song titles did not show up on either car. This is not an issue with the cars, but an issue with the player not pushing titles via Bluetooth. It would be nice if the unit did this. I did not physically connect the unit to see if song titles would show on my cars. The Bluetooth also connected well to about 5 different headphones and earbuds I used with the player. One thing that totally annoys me is how small the font is on the song titles and they are in dark red on a black background. It is extremely difficult to read and people with sight issues are not going to be able to easily read it. At least make it white or yellow on the black background so it shows up. There is enough screen real estate to make the song titles a larger font that has better readability. Would I buy this product again or give it as a gift? Absolutely. I asked the question, what are the codecs for the AVI/AMV containers? Of course, some dufus answers it's not a video player. They apparently did not read the description and trolls like that are pretty useless.= and should just stay under their bridge, The instructions regarding how to format the video are nonexistent. After fiddling with it and trying 20 converters that did not work and wasted 6 hours of my time trying to figure out the correct formats and which codec it uses, I finally found software from 2012 from another vendor that worked with this player. It may be the same vender, who knows? Do a search on " Ruizu Video Convert Tool " and this will work. This tells me that the software for this player is very outdated and explains why there is no MP4 container built in. It is using some old proprietary Chinese codec that got around licensing issues. Which one? I do not know. I am dinging this product 1 star just for listing that the player plays video as long as it is converted. No, it will not easily convert and the company provides no link or info on where to get the correct software. ps.. Please provide a website so we can download firmware updates instead of relying on someone to email us a file. It would also be cool if you open-source the code on a site like GitHub so some of us can fork it and make cool interfaces for it. This really is really a nice piece of hardware. Note: I am updating my review. Even though this player still works, the company is totally unresponsive. I've emailed them for updates and just get crickets. They assured people that they would provide updates for their software which was old and wonky. They show they have software and firmware updates on their website, but do not provide links and tell you to email their team. They are MIA.

I did a bit of research on a mid-range MP3 player and this one won out. Its solid metal body, not flimsy at all. Long battery life and decent UI. My only complaint is the color scheme for the menus. Especially navigating the menus, red on black doesn't show very well. It's a great price, not too cheap but not too expensive.

The good is: sound quality meets the price point, I hooked this up to a Onkyo receiver with Klipsch R-50 speakers and it sounded good Also for the price point the hardware was fine, could be better but for 40$ It is what i expected Lastly the customer service response email is fast (24 hrs every time) and replaces broken units no questions asked, however they are not English speaking so the communication is a bit lost sometimes. Unfortunately when it comes to Firmware that is where it all falls apart. Its a combination of bugginess and poor user interface design. The company tried hard to work through the problems, but ultimately i had to return it. to give a better understanding of why here is the last email i sent to the company: "Dear Phinistec, I'm sorry, but every solution you offered has not improved the issues on the player. The reason I am seeking a music player capable of holding 256gb of files is because I intend to put 10s of thousands of tracks and albums on it, so if the firmware is incapable of organizing them in any reasonable manner then it is useless. I have been patient with this player hoping for a solution, but clearly there is currently not enough experience or understanding of music organisation to build the right firmware. Firstly, In the folders mode there should be no other organisation than alpha/numeric by file and folder name. organizing by timestamp of when it was added to the card has little to no value and creates an issues. The main issue is when loading files a file cache will load multiple files at a single time and if two file start at the same time the smaller of the file will finish loading first before a larger file, so if you drag and drop an album on the card if there is a 2 min song that comes after a 10 min song the 2 min file will load first and therefore be out of order when I try to play album from the file. Another issue with this is, what about when I get a new artist that starts with A and load it onto the card, It will be at the end of the list? This makes no sense, over time any edits you make to your collection will further dis-organize your collection and the only remedy is to delete and reload the entire card, this is not viable. The music function, which is the keystone of a portable music player, is so far from being what it needs to be. There is no reason that the artist function should break up "Jimi Hendrix" into 50 different folders with one song in each, and the Jimi's are not all in a row so there is clearly an issue with alpha/numeric. Also note that the artist data on those tracks was edited as a group so their tags are identical, there is no reason these should not be grouped into the same folder. Also as mentioned in previous email at no point has the player displayed the song name, always displays the file name NOT song name. i.e. 1-02 Sugaree.mp3, instead of Sugaree In the future software needs to be able to read all of the metadata in each file and organised as such Artist - Album - Disc Number - Track Number - Song Name (from metadata, not file name) Therefore it knows which comes first i.e. song: Deal, disc: 01 of 02, track: 10 of 10, album: Live 1982, artist: The Grateful Dead. - would come before song: Shakedown Street, disc: 02 of 02, track: 01 of 07, album: Live 1982, artist: The Grateful Dead. -This being the first track of the 2nd disc There is also a metadata form for Artist sorting, This is not necessary but does give more customization for how to organize music and is mostly used to solve the problem of "The" and "A". For example if I wanted "The Grateful Dead" to list with the G's instead of the T's, I would fill the artist sorting form with "Grateful Dead" without a "The" and it would be listed in the G's even though the Artist Form Is still labeled "The Grateful Dead" which would still be displayed as the artist label when the tracks are being played. Other features that are important, Ability to keep the files indexed after the player has shut down, in order to prevent the player from having to search for 3-5mins every time it is turned on. The search should only be necessary after editing the card or internal memory or changing the card, but once it searches it needs to be good until a change is made. It is very inconvenient to wait for this search EVERYTIME you turn on the player, this is the only player I've ever owned that does this. I would also add there should be no cap or an extremely high cap on the number of songs that can be organized with the music section, with 256 and 512gb cards it is very easy to have 50,000 to 100,000 songs on a player, I have over 7000 Phish tracks and 12,000 Grateful dead tracks alone. And live music collectors like myself are a huge part of the market for high capacity portable music players, since this volume of live shows is not available on platforms like Spotify etc. In addition to that there's some debugging to iron out such as why you have to open the card folder just to get the artist folder to show anything, this is clearly a bug and not intentional, as well as other little things like album art sometimes show sometimes not etc. Because my confidence in your ability to fix these issues in a timely manner has depleted, I will need to return this player through amazon while my return window is still open, Thanks for understanding. If at some point in the future you feel the firmware has been overhauled and meets these specifications send me an email and I will consider trying your product again. There are a lot of players out there and they all have quality hardware but the firmware is what is lacking in basically all of them. This Quality firmware seems to be the holy grail of a Quality player. The discontinued Apple Ipod Classic had the best Firmware of any MP3 player that i have ever used, and believe me I have used a lot. The Ipod Classic limitations lay in it's fixed HD capacity, which was high in their day but at 160gb is low for today, and also music licensing and PC compatibility make the Ipod unusable for Linux desktop operators like myself. If you could create firmware as streamline as that your player would surely work its way to one of the top rated players out there. This is a different tangent but have you considered a PC software that integrates with your player, so I could load my songs into your PC player first to give more editing capabilities and to see how the file will organize once on the player? Thanks Evan Gamble" Review note, I did not test Bluetooth, record, video, pictures, or the radio. The built in speaker is similar to an older Iphone, not great, but its useful for troubleshooting audio output, and can be used for white noise to get a baby to sleep.

As a music fan of the past, I purchased this for the purpose of consolidating my music collection. I shopped for a few days and decided on this "little power house". A year later, I'm still enjoying it. In the age of music streaming I miss the days of listening to full albums, along with consolidating my music collection (dig out your old hard drives). Its fun listen to complete albums and experience the same feeling of enjoying like the days of physical albums. The display of album art, helps too! This player seems like it was built for it. Along with a slick and kind of elegant design, It has strong solid built. The player is about the weight of a smart phone but half the size. The screen has a glass like finish that's similar as well. To my surprise, It already had included, a screen protector that's came applied to it, so there's no need to purchase one. So far, a whole year, and haven't had the need to switch it out. I do however, suggest picking up carrying case for extra protection. As you probably read in it's features, for the price, this packs a BIG punch and doesn't disappoint. Even though it's useful for typical everyday use, it seems like it was made for serious music fans and even performing artist. The line in allows for me to record my DJ sets or with it's external mic, I can do voice recordings as well. After a year of using it's Bluetooth, radio, updating firmware, etc., I have absolutely no issues with it. Because of its massive functionality, there is a minor learning curve in how to navigate, organize and make music selections. The touch screen is mostly a single input prompts that's used to scroll and make selections. Because of our familiarity with other touch devices, this will take a short while to get use to. Though minor, it's the only small but temporary flaw I could think of. Pick this up, get a 256bg micro card and load it up. For a more enjoyable experience, make sure to add files in the order you'll like them played. Since having it and with its Bluetooth feature, it's small enough to take it anywhere. At parties and gatherings many of my friends and family are blown away by it. Enjoy!!

PROS Excellent build quality For its price point, the build quality is outstanding. The player weighs 166 grams (5.84 oz), which gives it a solid, reassuring feel. The brushed black aluminum body with a glass finish looks modern and premium—well above what you’d expect at this price. Compact size Roughly the same footprint as a 5th-generation iPod Classic, though noticeably heavier, which adds to the sense of durability. Thoughtful ergonomics Buttons and ports are located on just two sides of the device, making one-handed operation easy. Volume is controlled via physical buttons rather than the touchscreen, which is both practical and tactile. Expandable storage Includes 32 GB of internal storage and supports microSD cards for easy capacity expansion. Ongoing firmware support Firmware updates are regularly released, indicating active product support, bug fixes, and feature improvements over time. Responsive customer support I’ve contacted the support team multiple times and found response times to be reasonable and satisfactory. Sound quality Audio performance is on par with more expensive, higher-end players. Bonus features include a built-in speaker and a voice recorder. FM tuner Functional and reliable, though wired earphones must be connected to serve as the antenna. When in use, this disables the built-in speaker. Excellent value At around USD $42—including a 32 GB microSD card—this player offers exceptional value for the price. CONS Quirky user interface The UI takes some getting used to and may feel unintuitive at first. Album art handling The device can be inconsistent or “picky” when displaying album artwork. Bluetooth limitation Limited to Bluetooth 5.0, which may be a drawback for users expecting newer Bluetooth standards. Overall This is a solid and well-priced digital audio player that delivers strong build quality, excellent sound, and useful features—some of which may be unnecessary for purists but welcome at this price point. Overall, it’s an easy recommendation for anyone looking for great value without sacrificing performance.
