As someone who wanted to get away from using their cellphone to listen to music and the annoyances that come with that while working out, I set out to find a simple compact Mp3 player with not too many frills and had Bluetooth capability. There are actually many choices out there but after reading a number of reviews and looking at features and functionality I settled on this RUIZU small MP3 player and it has mostly satisfied my needs. Pros: Very Small(some may say its too small and a CON). This fits into my workout pants and I don't worry about it getting in the way or if I was using my phone the possibility of it walking away. Simple Menu structure and it shows up as a USB drive that you just drag and drop your music files into it. You are able to create folders and play from them within the menu. Sound quality is fine for its intended purpose. Is it going to win any awards, No but it doesn't pretend to be something it is not. Bluetooth: It can pair and hold up to two units and its just a matter of choosing which one to connect two. Works well. See my critique below in CONS. Charges quickly in a couple hours and seems to hold a charge for many hours so far but I keep charging it back up so I don't know precisely how long it will last based on their stated claims. Standard USB-C so that is a plus. This comes standard with 64GB built in and for me that is plenty for my intended purpose of using it while I workout. It does expand to another 128GB if you truly wanted to load it up. A good many other devices I looked at didn't have that much storage built in and was a selling point for me. CONS: If you have big amount of files that you want to transfer then yes this will not be a fast process however it's not been an issue transferring over a couple hundred MP3 tracks. Bluetooth: The unit says Bluetooth v5.0, the description says 5.3. Is there a firmware update that would help with that, I am not certain yet but there have been some noticeable dropouts at random times and I am never more than 5ft if I leave it on a bench or on me in my pocket. Still not frequent enough that for the size of the unit that it concerns me all that much unless it increases over time in which case I will come back to update. Playlists: It comes with three internal playlists that you can load up and use the shuffle play on and that is plenty for me but I still wish there was an easy way to create a new playlist from within the software menu or even when hooked up as a USB drive. Shuffle Play: Works fine on the playlists. However you can use shuffle from within a folder to play whatever songs you have in there but it will frequently go outside that folder and pull in other songs from outside of them. If it would stay within just the folder, that would fix the limit on the playlists. It will play from start to finish with all the songs in the folders if you don't have shuffle enabled. Volume Control: I am using this with Beats Pro earbuds and you have to turn the volume up to the max of 29 or 30 for the level of volume I like. However I don't expect this size unit to have a large powered audio driver so it is still fine for my use. It has an audio jack on it but not sure if it could drive a pair of over the ear headphones with it. Overall: I am satisfied with the unit and for the cost and the functionality it has what I expected and overall works well enough for me and my usage case. I believe I read somewhere that the AGPTEK brand is the same manufacturer but branded for North America and RUIZU is intended more for the Chinese market but not that it matters, I just liked the name RUIZU better. If I had the opportunity I would try one of the higher versions of this brand in the future as my experience overall has been positive and maybe a higher model has some of the software features this one is lacking. Everyone has different needs and expectations but I would recommend this model if your needs are similar to mine. Read more

I've been using this mp3 player at the gym for at least 6 months with new sport bluetooth noise cancelling earbuds. It works really well, and I don't end up doomscrolling on my phone between sets, and it fits in my pocket so nicely and I can forget it's there. The bluetooth seemed to work in fits and starts at first (choppy), but then I downsized all my mp3's to 128k (with free online software) and it works much much better - not flawless but maybe only cuts out a few times during a workout, so totally manageable. It's my speculation it works better when the gym isn't so crowded we're not all on top of each other, but that's just speculation. I was able to easily set up playlists for my all my music and it holds tons of songs (especially at 128k). If you're having trouble setting up playlists, it follows the old Sandisk Spot Clip Plus formatting guidelines and folder structure, and there is a lot of old posts line about how to set that up. So I was able to use text files with .m3u extensions. Anyway, sound quality is great and I enjoy the EQs. The feel of the plastic housing doesn't feel that substantial, like it's fragile, but I haven't had any issues and dropped it a few times. I've never gotten it wet before though, so I don't know about that. The battery life happened to be good too! For me, at least 8 hours. One time the batter life indicator was on the last leg and so I left it going to see and it lasted 4 more hours. I'm a fan of this little guy! Read more
