Slower processor and older android version meant a little glitchy with appshowever plays great and settled down after a day or two.
Apple classical not supported currently on android 8 which this runs, so keep that in mind.
Battery lasts most of the day in class a mode.
The internal dac is slightly behind the one in my zen dac, however this can be plugged into it to continue using that dac at home when requiredthe sound of the r5 is plenty incredible on its own and more than suitable on the move.
I’ve purchased it to accompany me on a long long flight, with the class a turned off i think it will last the 21hrs i will need it to using the 4.4 balanced input for my moondrop variations.
All together incredibly happy with the purchase and will upgrade in the future to whichever model hiby is in at that time.
Build quality, sound and features out weight the smaller slower screen and slightly annoying button placement for me.
Tengo aproximadamente 1 mes ya de utilizar el Hiby R5 Gen2 y honestamente es un muy buen reproductor. Con muy buenas prestaciones y excelente calidad de sonido. Mueve con suficiente soltura mis audfonos In-ear, pero si se queda un poco corto con audfonos Overear que demanden ms potencia. Como unos Hifiman Sundara o bien los Beyerdynamics DT990 Pro de 250 Ohms.
El sistema operativo es un poco viejito ya, pero esto no impide que se puedan instalar aplicaciones actuales como Tidal, Spotify, YouTube Music, etc.
En cuanto a la batera, siento que se queda bastante corto cuando se utiliza el modo A-Amp y la Ganancia Alta. Necesarios estos modos para utilizar los audfonos ms demandantes. Pero si se utiliza el modo Normal en ganancias bajas, la autonoma de la batera mejora considerablemente.
En conclusin, puedo decir que el reproductor se desempea muy bien a pesar de esos ciertos detalles. Y es una compra bastante acertada ms cuando no se cuenta con mucho presupuesto para DAP’s de precio mucho ms elevados como los Fiio M11 y M15 o el mismo Hiby R6.
Android is as terrible as I remember it from years ago, random app crashes etc. But as long as you leave the player powered on, it’s fairly stable. Sound quality is excellent, particularly the Class A amplifier. Loads of power from the 4.4mm balanced output, no issues driving my 250ohm studio set, or any of my less power hungry headphones and IEM’s. The case looks great, but you can’t identify the buttons without looking, so I modified it with an exacto knife to expose them. Hopefully there’ll be aftermarket cases soon. Overall I love this thing, when I wear it out I’ll buy another from hiby.
Love that you can download other apps from Google play store
Sehr gute Tonqualitt, leicht zu bedienen. Insgesamt ein hochwertiger Player.
Zu schade fr MP 3, mit 24 Bit ber Kabel sogar noch besser.
Wrde ihn wieder kaufen.
I have a Hiby R3 that I really love. I decided to buy the new Hiby R5 Gen 2 after there was a $30 discount on Amazon. I was enticed to buy this for the Class A amplifier feature. The sound quality in regular mode is great, but in Class A mode is amazing. I love my KZ Zex earphones in balanced mode and the sound is fabulous. Comes with a protective case and screen protector applied. Battery life in regular mode is great. Battery life in Class A mode is greatly reduced.
This Hiby stuff is very good.
I bought this exclusively to run Media Monkey and sync with my PC MM library. It does this seamlessly so far. I really can’t think of anything negative to say about it!
First of all the sound quality is great (when used with decent headphones or earbuds). I have only tried the regular 3.5mm prior output, along with Bluetooth. Personally I couldn’t hear any difference when using the ‘Class A’ circuit, and for what you lose in battery life you might not need to bother with that.
Build quality is excellent, and it feels like a 450 player, the only problem I faced was with the Hiby app that comes as standard. I have a 512GB card that contains over 55,000 tracks, and the app would scan the first 732 tracks and then crash every single time. In the end I installed the (free) Musicolet app which works perfectly and scanned the card fairly quickly.
I don’t use streaming services on my MP3 players, so can’t comment on those.
Is this better than using your phone? If you have a small music library or if you stream, I’d suggest that the convenience of carrying one machine about outweighs any other considerations. If you’re like me and you have a large collection of files, then having a separate player is worth considering.
This is an amazing piece of kit. You can really hear every detail when paired with decent headphones. My only criticism is that the volume button is opposite the play pause buttons. Where you need to place fingers it often leads to accidental button presses. Unfortunately it happens so frequently I am knocking one star off. I hope they bring out another version with a dial volume control.
This is an excellent player, my second HiBy one. It sounds as good or better than I expected, especially though its balanced output (only used the 2.5mm one), and in Class A mode. However, the sound through the regular 3.5mm was also excellent, making even my 320 kbps files sound wonderful. Also, the HiBy player software on the R5 II is much better than the one I’d been using on my first HiBy.
My other player is the R3 Pro Saber model which I also like very much and which I had used for six months by the time I ordered the R5 II. I wanted an Android version so I could use my Amazon Music Unlimited account, primarily to play its growing HD collection through the class A output. It sounded wonderful indeed -TRULY wonderful. Ultimately, however, I returned the R5 II for two personal reasons. First, I decided that my HiBy R3 player was good enough for my needs, particularly because I listen mostly to my own substantial collection of FLAC ripped files rather than streamed options; AND second. that prior to the return deadline, my R3 started to falter, stopping/restarting spontaneously when playing (to-date only) through its balanced connection. This only related HiBy experience spooked me about the prospects for the R5 II, perhaps unfairly and erroneously.
I did also find that the R5 II was heavier than I expected/wanted, but this is because the (faltering) R3 is much more compact, lacking the significant features of the R5, of course, including its larger screen and impressive battery.
Ce produit est fantastique, mais malheureusement pour ma part ne me me convenait pas car il n’y avait pas d’galisateur de frquence intgr, Mais pour le reste ce produit est fantastique.
Edit: I upgraded. The rabbit hole you know.
It has an Android based operating system, which I am familiar with because of my cell phone, but I don’t use my phone to play music, and the R5’s music interface is based on Android, so it took me personally, some time to get used to, but others might find it easy to use. The touch screen is a bit slow to respond at times, but I bought this solely to play music on, so it’s not an issue for me.
I found it very easy to put music into the player via a USB cable connected to a computer, but have not tried adding music over wi-fi yet. It is much simpler to add and remove music to this player versus doing the same with an ipod.
I feel the quality and depth of the sound that the R5 can produce is outstanding! I listen to mine in the class A amplifier setting exclusively, and find that the sound is pretty amazing. I admit though, that a good pair of Headphones or IEMs makes more of a difference in the overall sound quality, then the player does itself, so sound quality is subjective. I listen to my R5 through a pair of Moondrop Blessing 2 IEMs, and find the sound to be like having a high quality hi-fi system in my ears.
Overall, I love this player! It was well worth the cost for me because the quality of the sound versus an ipod makes me want to listen to my old music again!
