Owned the first iteration of Timmkoo MP3 players and was very impressed. Very simple user interface, excellent quality, easy to see controls. Eventually, I manage to drop it and kill it, so I ordered the Q3. Similar interface to the original model, but other than the Home screen, text is smaller and white on black background, thus a little harder to see. It does have a graphic equalizer, which is pretty good. I like to just copy music from the PC to a folder on an MP3 player and be able to locate the folder easily and play the content. The Q3 is a bit more involved than the original Timmkoo. Copying music is fairly simple: connect to a PC vis USB cable included. Open the device on the PC and navigate to the Music folder and copy music from the PC to that folder. Note that when disconnecting this model from the PC does NOT require 'Ejecting' it, which is an improvement over the original player. Playback is a little more involved. Select the Music folder on the upper left corner of the home screen. That momentarily displays a black 'splash' screen with the word 'Hiky' in bright yellow text. The next screen has icons on a black screen with small gray or white text. Locate the white musical note center top and click 'Internal Storage' just below it, in gray font. Locate the Music folder and click it. All music folders copied to the player will be displayed. Select one and click the first song listed to begin playing the content. A nice feature is from this open music folder, you can simply swipe 'left to right' to return to display the folders in the Music folder to select another to play. All in all, excellent build quality - has a solid, hefty feel. Very good battery playback time between charges. Very impressed with this product. Paired with Soundcore A2NC ear buds makes for a simply awesome MP3 experience! Read more

This is definitely a good MP3 player for my car or work outs. I normally like to keep this ins my car so I do not have to plug my phone in all the time. The reason being is that I don't want my phone to be drained or taxed playing music. This product right out of the box is very well packaged. It provides you with the type C USB cable, headphones, and a clear case for the MP3 player. The headphones feel a bit cheap so I do recommend purchasing a better pair. It is Bluetooth capable so you can use Bluetooth headphones if you wish. The first thing I have to say about it is that the front facing glass is beautiful. It is not something that you can easily scratch and provides a nice clear video. The user interface is pretty simple and easy to use. The interface has several different functions from video to reading ebooks. For ebooks it seems to be okay with reading just PDF books which is really nice. The only issue is that I do not want to read on such a small screen. It does have a pretty good radio on it. I did not have too many static issues. It is a nice thing to have when I need to go to those drive in movie theaters. I do not have to use my car radio and risk running my battery out. The battery life varies depending on what you use it for. From what I can tell it can last on average 10 to 12 hours on headphones and 4-5 hours on speakers with movie running. The charge time varies as well and charges via type c usb cable. The speakers are pretty good and could be used as a standalone if you wished. The arm band that comes with it is definitely not a one size fit all. I think it works well for the average person but if you are bulked out on the arms you may have issues with fitting. I think 8 gb is enough but it does have a micro SD card slot if you wish for more music and video. It can be expanded to 128 gb. I have not tried my bigger SD cards but 128 gb works fine to me. Although it can be a bit laggy scrolling through all the songs trying to read music from hte SD card. The video quality can run at 1080p. It does not have any games on it unfortunately. Honestly it is a great thing to have if you are trying to keep your kids busy as well. You can load this device with cartoons and such and just play from this device rather than your phone. The clear case is nice and protective from scratches but it is easy to take sun damage. I would recommend putting the case on as the back is glossy and prone to scratches. Overall, this Mp3 player does the job for what I want. It plays music, videos, and can even read ebooks. It has a pretty good battery life and takes the strain off my phone. Read more
