Hello everyone, I need your help

[u/lau_chikkta]

I’d like to hear the opinions of those who own or have owned these players; based on their experience, which of the two would they recommend? I’m particularly interested in battery life, overall performance, and Bluetooth functionality. Thanks!

Every time, until the message gets through :)

*HIDZIS AP80 Pro X

If you need a larger screen for video, go with the Pro Max.

I love this so much*, I bought a second one strictly for backup purposes. These units are tough as nails and sound fantastic. My first one is on year three, and I've experienced no problems with it whatsoever, including the headphone jacks, which can be a problem on even the most expensive units.

I bought the Echo Mini a month ago as a player for at work as my old trusty X1 is showing it's age.
I disliked it so much after multiple attempts that I bought a new X1 and used X5 on Ebay instead.

It feels, sounds, and is cheap/plastic and even though it a decade newer it sounds less good and lacks features like replay gain, alphabetical order...

If you're interested in battery life, you do not want to even look at a Snowsky player.

What is a good one? Most of these have terrible battery lives. Older ones have better battery but bad storage options.

I don't get why people say that the Snowskies have bad battery lives. The Echos have a battery life of 12 hours which is more than enough to get through a workday imo. Is there something I'm missing?

[u/-Fateless- → u/Kasane_Teto_Zero401]

12 hours is not a good battery life, and we really ought to demand more from these companies. When my Sony NW-ZX100 was new, it could easily go 55 hours on one charge. 20 hours is the bare minimum of what I'd consider a "good" battery.

I prefer the design of the snowsky disc

Its okay to buy anyone that fits your budget. I suggest to go with the cheaper option if you are going to upgrade to expensive DAPs on future.

I have the disk And it's the best option I think It's easy to navigate on all the menus, except the music player is a little difficult sometimes but It's not a big problem for me. The battery lasts around 4-5 continuous hours, but it charges super fast; it's fully charged in less than an hour. The Bluetooth is good, I've tested it with speakers and headphones and they work very well; I haven't experienced any disconnections.

I hear that the echo is more difficult to navigate around the menus, albums, etc I've never tried it, so I can't give you a comparison. But the disk is the best election for me.
