This SWOFY M503Pro is a beautiful piece of machinery. It is small enough to fit in your pocket, but big enough to be readable. The display is bright and crisp, and it plays videos wonderfully. It has a touch screen, lots of apps preinstalled, connects via 2-way blue tooth and via WiFi. I had previously bought an Innioasis player that looked great, had lots of features, as well, but I COULD NOT get it to be recognized by my laptop, so no loading of music on it. I checked this one right away, and with the soft ring of a Windows 11 bell, it recognized the player right away. This one comes with a clear hard gel case to protect if dropped. Very nice. BTW, it also fits in the Innioasis hardshell case for their 4" players. Makes a nice protective case that can also store your ear buds. Price was excellent for the feature set, and construction, design all seem to be very good to excellent. I highly recommend this SWOFY M503 PRO MP3 player. Read more
If you're looking for a budget music player this definitely does the job. It plays Amazon Music great, while it freezes on my phone. Don't know if it'll start running slow if you start downloading a bunch of apps because it is android. But if you only use it only for music it works very well. The only downside is the battery drains pretty quickly. So Don't expect to play it all day without charging, but at this price you can't expect everything. So just charge it after every use and you'll be fine. Read more
Will not play .wav files as advertised. Will not connect to computer as advertised. Will not connect to Bluetooth speaker as advertised. Might have been able to connect to wi-fi but who cares, my music is not online, it's on my external HD in a file named MUSIC. The online user manual is the same three-page, useless piece of trash which came in the box that tells you absolutely nothing about using the device. CRAP! JUNK!! SCAM!!! A WASTE OF MONEY! DO NOT BUY THIS! How bad is this? I am nearly 60 years old and this is only the second review I have EVER taken the time to write and the first was years ago because the guy on instant chat was just brilliant. SWOFY makes me want to try Apple, that's how bad this is. Read more
Over the last 2-3 years, I have purchased 6 of these ‘Timkoo MP4’ Players to watch videos at work. Each one has failed, forcing me to purchase another, with the exception of #5, which was stolen (in my KIA). I needed to purchase yet another one of these, as there has been no other reasonable options on the market, and of course this one has already failed (on day 33) which is just outside the return window. While the others have simply stopped working, this (#6) device won’t accept a charge. I have hardly even used this as I had actually found a near identical alternative, but clearly differently manufactured device “Swofy” which does have it’s own problems in my opinion, such as functionality, but is a much brighter picture than what the ‘Timkoo’ offers. As for this review of the ‘Timkoo’, it is sad they keep failing. I would like to give it a better review as each model I have purchased has been a newer version of the previous one. Every one of the six devices was an upgraded version. The makers of Timkoo has added several features to the device over time including (Stopwatch, recorder, FM Radio, calendar, Calculator. The 4th model I had, showed a total of 11 individual ‘apps’ for its features. The 5th one had ‘Google’ added, for a total of 12 This 6th version added a “color note” which I guess is a form of ‘sticky notes’ and the Radio or calendar was added for a total of 14. Overall the functionality is good, and it is easy to put all your files onto a micro SD chip, including your MP3’s and videos in different formats. I have used MPG, AVI, WMV, and MP4 with no problems. With all this said, Timkoo does have it’s good features and problem areas to improve. However, they have made the screen so dark with any videos it is difficult to watch. This truly is the biggest problem with this device. Early versions had a much brighter screen, and I really liked the earlier models, but they slowly got darker and darker. I was even going to make a quick ‘side-by-side’ video displaying the difference in screen tinting between the #4 and 5 devices (showing the exact same video), and just as I was about to record, the #4 fell 2 feet onto a rubber floor and never worked again. The difference was profound. It is difficult to tell if this newer version was even darker than the #5, but it is painful to watch, and is really only good for listening to podcasts. Timkoo’s priority has become battery life and it will play videos for a full 6 hours or possibly longer, but it is much too dark to enjoy. And, once it stops working, for whatever reason, it becomes a paperweight. 33 days was the lifespan of this last one, and I probably used it less than 50 hours. Swofy is an alternative brand. It’s weight (154 Grams) feels like it is probably more solidly built that the exact same size Timkoo’s (109 Gram) weight. Swofy’s picture is much, much brighter, but does have some functionality issues of it’s own, but for watching videos it is much brighter Read more
I bought this as a gift for my mother in law as she works in the manufacturing industry and they are not allow to use cellphones. They do allow them to use MP3s. As soon as my mother in law took her MP3 to her job place, everyone one started asking her where she got it from, and since the majority of her colleagues are over 50 and not tech savvy they ask my mother in law if I could buy a few MP3 for them. As per what I have been told, they love the design and size which it fits well in the pocket or palm of your hand. The sound is decent and the battery life goes over 7 hours without charging and with little to no breaks in between use. I honestly lost count how many of these I have bought for them but I believe I have purchase over 5. Out of all the devices I have purchase, one came defective, and I had to request a refund, the seller was very fast in processing the refund and shipped the product even before I send back the defective mp3 which by the way we did not have to pay for shipping as it was cover by the vendor. I will definitely keep purchasing for this vendor. Read more
I’ve been using the SWOFY M503 Pro for a while now, and overall, it’s a solid music player with some great features. The 4-inch IPS touchscreen is bright and responsive, making navigation easy. I love that it supports Spotify, Audible, and Amazon Music, which means I can stream or listen to my downloaded music without issues. The sound quality is quite good, especially with wired headphones. Bluetooth connectivity works well, though I did experience occasional lag when streaming over WiFi. The 80GB storage is great, and I appreciate the expandable storage option up to 512GB. Read more
