15 best mp3 players with AliExpress

Mp3-player - one of the first gadgets of the digital revolution, which has managed to become truly popular with the mass user. Having replaced the cassette and disc players, he got rid of their main drawbacks (cumbersomeness and the need to use external storage media), thanks to which he became so widespread throughout the world. And despite the fact that devices of this type have long supported a lot of very different sound formats, the stable name “mp3 player” is still popular (initially devices only read MP3).

Neither the function nor the purpose of music players today has long been a secret. However, if an inexperienced buyer decides to purchase such a gadget, he will most likely face the problem of choice. After all, the market is now a wide variety of models and it is not so easy to choose the one that fits the requirements of a particular person. So, first of all you need to pay attention to the following characteristics:

• Memory. One will be quite enough and 16 GB, and someone used to listen to the tracks in the best quality and does not like to constantly change the contents of the player.
• Display. If, in addition to listening to music and radio, no other tasks are presented to the device, then a small display (up to 2 inches) is enough for the eyes, but in other cases you can do without it. Accordingly, for a comfortable viewing of photos and video files, a high-resolution screen is desirable.
• Supported Formats. Those who prefer to listen to your favorite artists in ALAC, APE, FLAC, etc., should first make sure that the selected MP3 player works with these audio codecs.
• Ergonomics. It all depends on the intended purpose of use. For example, miniature players with a fastening mechanism on clothes are well suited for sports.
• Add. functional. By default, any player can play music. The remaining possibilities (FM radio, voice recorder, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi) are not always met, and if any of this is necessary, then you need to select the appropriate model in advance.

In this ranking, we have collected the 15 best mp3 players available for purchase on Aliexpress.

Best cheap mp3 players: budget up to 200 rubles

4 ZUCZUG MP3 player

Apple's well-known line of iPod shuffle discs has spawned a huge variety of Chinese clones. ZUCZUG is a typical representative of this segment, offering basic functionality for a minimal price. Playing MP3 music is the only thing that the gadget in question can do. In addition to the above device, the package does not include anything. The rest of the peripherals (charging cable, headphones, and SD card) will need to be searched independently. It is also worth noting that in ZUCZUG you can connect a USB flash drive up to only 8 GB.In the bottom line, we have a very compact player (its weight is only 20 grams), which is perfect for sports or for use as a temporary option (if the main device is broken, and there is no money for a quality replacement).

3 Daono Audiotape MP3

Very simple mp3 player, functionally almost no different from colleagues in the price segment (support for SD-cards with no own memory and reading only two audio formats). But the gadget has a nice side, namely the unusual design, which stands out against the background of monotonous clones of iPod shuffle. The case of the device is stylized as a small audio cassette that at the same time attracts attention and gives an extra reason to ponostalgate and recall the symbols of a bygone era.

2 Overmal MP3 Player

In fact, we still have the same clone of iPod shuffle, but with one important feature - on the front side of the case there is, albeit small (less than 1 inch), but still a full screen. It allows users to see the current battery level, the volume of the music, the task being performed and its progress (but, for example, there is no place for displaying information about the track title and the artist). Also added a simple EQ. Otherwise, nothing new compared to the model described above. As in the case of ZUCZUG, only the player itself is sold, and the components have to be selected independently. Binmer supports up to 32 GB of memory, which should be quite enough, because no heavy audio file formats will open here anyway.

1 Uniscom MP3 Player

In appearance, Uniscom is not very different from other devices that are presented in this category, but according to the stated capabilities it is most interesting. First, the gadget reads not one, but three audio formats (MP3, WMA, WAV), although it must be admitted: both Wma and Wav are almost never used. Secondly, the system firmware allows the player to display information not only about the sequence number of the composition, but also its partial name. This model comes with a USB cable, so no additional wires need to be searched. In comparison with the players above, it is also worth noting a little more battery capacity. But Uniscom doesn’t have its own memory - an SD card is needed to complete the work.

Best mp3 players in the middle price segment: budget up to 1200 rubles

4 ACLDFH MP3 PLAYER

A compromise option for those who decided to pay more than 200 rubles per player with AliExpress, but still not ready to spend too much money. In addition to the device itself, headphones are also included in the package, but almost all buyers do not recommend using them (unless for verification only), since the sound in them is quite weak and quiet. But when you connect any more or less tolerable alternatives, the situation changes dramatically - in general, the feedback on the sound quality is quite positive considering the price of the device. The existing small screen is enough to fully manage playlists (you can browse songs by lists and almost completely see the name of the song).

In addition, there is a radio, a weak speaker, a function for playing video and images, as well as an e-book. But all this is mostly unsuitable for permanent use, for example, reading the same documents is possible only in TXT format and is not conveniently implemented. ACLDFH does not have its own memory, so, as is the case with the cheapest category of players, you will have to use a micro SD card.

 

3 RUIZU X02

Having on board already more or less solid screen (almost 2 inches), the developers tried to use it to the maximum to introduce a variety of functions in RUIZU.In addition to listening to music (including in APE and FLAC), it can read text files (in TXT format), view photos (JPG, BMP) and even video (in the AVI extension, a special converter is recorded on the player to convert video files to resolution). Plus standard applications (voice recorder, radio, calendar, stopwatch, equalizer). It is impossible to say that all this functionality is highly demanded (it will be terribly inconvenient to read the same books), but sometimes it will probably come in handy. Users have no complaints about the other characteristics: the battery holds 14-18 hours, the sound is of acceptable quality, and only 8 GB of internal memory are compensated by the ability to connect an SD card (up to 64 GB). Headphones are not included, the interface is completely Russified.

2 BENJIE S5

If the plastic you have by default causes distrust and suspicion of fragility, then the BENJIE S5 is an excellent choice. Compact metal body looks very stylish and reliable. The main part of the buttons on the player is touch-sensitive (only the volume keys are physical and located on the side), but nonetheless the controls here are quite convenient. The functionality is standard, you can select only a large number of supported audio formats (MP3, WMA, OGG, ASF, APE, FLAC, MP3, WAV). By the sound of comments in the reviews are not found. The gadget comes in a presentable box, where the parts are neatly folded - so BENJIE is well suited as a gift idea.

1 Iqq x22

A stylish player in a metal case, for a pleasant outer shell of which, besides, there is a quite rich inner filling. First of all, we note the presence of Bluetooth - it makes it possible to use not only standard, but also fashionable wireless headphones now. Secondly, IQQ X22 supports a large number of modern audio formats (among them FLAC, OGG, APE), allowing you to listen to your favorite music in its original quality without loss. Naturally, for storing an abundance of uncompressed music files, it is desirable to have a reserve of memory of a suitable volume, and here too the order is with this. Available as an internal memory (on sale there are models from 4 to 16 GB), and a slot for micro SD (up to 128 GB), so there should not be any problems.

Among other things, highlight the presence of a good battery, e-reader, FM-radio, equalizer and even an alarm clock. And in the absence of headphones, you can listen to music directly from the built-in speaker.

Best mp3 players cost from 1500 rubles

4 Walnut V2S

Walnut V2S (popularly known as the "nut") is the most unusual player in this rating. The model in question does not have a screen, FM radio, a voice recorder, its own memory, even the headphones are not included, but at the same time it costs about 1,500 and is very popular in narrow circles. This player gained such fame due to high-quality sound (powerful bass, excellent stereo width and good frequency separation) and, most importantly, amazing effect when used as an amplifier for a computer or other device (drivers are installed independently and absolutely without problems). A new nice color is already familiar songs guaranteed. The lack of a screen also has a positive effect on autonomy - a 1500 mAh battery will last for 50-60 hours of full-fledged operation of the device.

3 RUIZU X26

Another media player is clearly sports oriented. The set of functions as a whole is traditional, but still there are a number of features due to which RUIZU X26 turned out to be in our top. The first is the presence of Bluetooth, which allows you to use the player in a pair with portable speakers, and more importantly - wireless headphones. The kit includes a strap for attaching the device to the hand - this design is presented by the manufacturer as the most convenient for active sports. Also, a pedometer is declared as an additional function, but it is difficult to judge the accuracy of its work, since practically none of the customers use it.A small amount of its own memory (only 8 GB) compensates for the support of the SD card (up to 64 GB).

2 NINTAUS X10

NiNTAUS X10 is specially designed for listening to high-resolution music (Hi-Res Audio). What does it mean? Many of the previously mentioned devices also support lossless audio data compression formats (for example, FLAC), but they are not adapted for them. When playing files with this extension and a large bit rate in a regular player, glitches, freezes and other problems will almost certainly be observed. With the NiNTAUS X10, the situation is completely different - the player was originally designed to work with heavy data (the ATJ2167 chip, on the basis of which the device was assembled, is also used in many more expensive devices costing $ 150-200). At the moment, the player reads 11 audio formats, and at the same time the system firmware is constantly updated, so in the future it is possible to add new extensions (for example, recently .CUE support appeared). Separately, we note a high-quality battery (enough for 50 hours of continuous operation) and good equipment (it includes headphones, silicone case, USB cable and SD card for 16 GB).

1 Zishan DSD AK4497EQ

The line of gadgets from ZiShan is one of those cases where the price tag (no matter how high it initially seemed) is more than worth every ruble spent on the player. However, products of this kind are obviously not designed for the mass user, in other words, it’s not so easy to take and buy a player from Zishan, you first need to want it. A simple man in the street is unlikely to be interested in a Chinese gadget for this price, and an avid music fan may well have his own vision of what a player should be for Hi-Res music.

Looking directly at this model, we note that the very appearance of the device itself indicates a clear focus on the brutal male audience - no soft lines and pretentious glamor, but only a strict and simple metal case with copper buttons. Large and bright display will allow you to get maximum visual information and is designed to facilitate navigation through files and folders. Well, the main advantage of the device is, of course, the sound - moderately deep, but fast and bass bass, crystal clear middle and bright detailed top. Do not forget that the players from Zishan provide users with extensive customization and upgrade options.

Best mp3 players with integrated headphones

3 SONGKU W262

This gadget is interesting for its unusual design - the player and headphones here are not separate components, but a single whole. As you might guess by the appearance, the device is designed specifically for sports and provides a person with maximum freedom and comfort (SONGKU does not need to cling to clothes, carry in a pocket, etc.). According to user feedback, the design sits well and does not collapse when running. Since it is impossible to connect your own headphones to the W262, many questions arise about the quality of the native sound in the device. There are no problems with this - the sound is pleasant and balanced with pronounced bass. The kit in addition to the USB-cable includes a bag for storing the player. The amount of internal memory is still the same 8 GB (there is no SD card slot), only a couple of standard audio formats (MP3, WMA, WMV) are supported, and the battery lasts 6-8 hours of operation (which, of course, is not enough for such a segment) .

2 NVAHVA 503

This model largely repeats the advantages of the previous one, but due to the loss in compactness and not the smallest sizes, the user additionally gets the ability to connect a Micro SD card up to 32 GB. At the same time, Bluetooth is also in place, there is another functionality (for example, FM radio), a very good battery, and the sound is quite acceptable for your money (but nothing more). The uncomfortable design spoils the overall positive picture - the bow is made so that after a couple of hours of wearing, NVAHVA begins to put a lot of pressure on the ears.

1 RALYIN MP3-M2

Like many other mp3 players of this form factor (audio system integrated into headphones), the Ralyin M2 positions itself primarily as a convenient and practical option for playing sports. But in comparison with cheaper models of this type, this gadget boasts two features at once:

1. Moisture protection of the IPX6 standard (important note - the described degree of protection is intended mainly against splashes, rain, sweat and other troubles of a similar nature, but you should definitely not take the player to the pool if you don’t want to break it);
2. Bluetooth (version 4.2). Thanks to him, it is possible to use a hybrid player, in which the built-in 8 GB of memory no longer seems so miserly. The point is in normal situations to start the device only as headphones, while playing music from a third-party device (therefore, the internal memory is not consumed). At the same time, the player itself can be recorded several special playlists for jogging and other sports and use it for these purposes.
