RUIZU 64GB MP3 Player with Bluetooth 5.3, 1.8" Screen Portable Music Player, FM Radio, Voice Recording, EBook, Shuffle Single Loop, 80H Digital Audio Video Playback, Lightweight, Support 128GB TF Card

Nice little mp3, easy to use, pairs well with Bluetooth and good sound

This player is a great value for the price but it does have some interesting quirks. To navigate the music menu the 'right' button is down and 'left button' is up, which can be a little hard to get used to. I have also noticed that after ripping songs from CDs I own the album art does not carry over from the metadata, so if this is important to you you will need to add it manually. The screen is very narrow so the full titles of songs are not entirely visible from the song list in most cases. It's easier to find the song you want sorting by album or by artist. The radio function can only play in mono sound, but this is pretty explicitly listed in the manual, so it's not a surprise. All things said, I do like it and I'm happy with my purchase. The main things I enjoy about it are the long battery life, large storage capacity, and simplicity of the design. Personally, I don't like devices that are too bloated with features, so this suits me fine.

I just ordered this for my kid and when I tried out myself upon received, I am truly surprised by the sound quality. It is compact and slim with other features like radio, ebooks, etc. Once connected to the laptop or computer, its very straightforward to upload songs. I found navigation bit tricky initially and need some improvement but after few round of use, its easy to adopt the controls. Bluetooth connection is quick and easy as well, it also reconnect promptly to my device once paired. I highly recommend this player and thinking to get different model for myself as well.

Hi, this is going to be my personal review of the Ruizu X02. I’m going to begin my review by stating the things I immediately disliked before I move on to the things I like.So first of all, as another reviewer stated, this is a very weird device and the reason is due to the UI. Instead of having dedicated buttons for specific functions, most of the “would-be” normal functions are hidden. The buttons that serve as the main functions are as followed:Rewind (|<<) – Also serves to move left, move up, or to go to the previous track.Fast Forward (>>|) – Also serves to move right or move downPlay/Pause ((>||) – Also serves to put the player into sleep mode when pressed and held. Pressing and holding the button will wake the unit back up, which then allows you to resume where you left off.Menu (M) – Displays hidden menu options. Press and hold to also serve as the Screen Lock function. Only functions to move up in the Main Menu.Volume (VOL) – Must press and hold for volume screen to appear, which one then must use “Rewind” or “Fast Forward” buttons to adjust the volume. Also serves to back out of a directory when browsing. Only functions to move down in the Main Menu.What makes the function of these buttons so un-intuitive is that they don’t function exactly in the way you would expect them to and they take a little bit of tinkering to get adjusted to, especially if you are coming from DAPs that have more straight forward functionality.For instance, when you are browsing through any directory in the player except for the main menu itself, instead of pressing what you would think would function as the “Up” and “Down” buttons (which in this case would be the “M” to serve as “UP” and “VOL” to serve as “Down”) you instead have to browse by pressing the “Rewind” or “Fast Forward” buttons. Then you have to press the “VOL” to back out of the current directory that you are in. If you have backed out of a directory and want to return back to the song that was playing, you would have to press the “M” button and that would bring up the option to return to the song that is “Now Playing”. Again, the only time the buttons function as you would expect is when you are in the Main Menu.It’s a pretty weird setup that could’ve easily been remedied if they had added the appropriate buttons. ALL of the buttons are on the front of the unit. There are none on the sides or top. The only physical switch is the power switch, which is located on the bottom.Another personal gripe is that when you press the Rewind button to start over a track, it will instead instantly go to the previous track instead of simply starting over the current track from the beginning. This is quickly remedied by quickly pressing the Fast Forward button to return to the track, but it is still an annoying inconvenience. I experienced the same thing with my Ruizu X52 and AGPTEK B03 DAPs. It must be a common design flaw among these cheap brands.Another gripe I noticed is that when a track starts there will be a very brief fade-in instead of starting at regular volume.My final gripe is that I noticed when a song is playing, if the encoded information is too long it will not display the full information, despite the fact that it will slowly scroll across the screen.Despite the rather strange UI and a few gripes, it is otherwise a good player. I haven’t so far had any issues with random shuffling of tracks like I did with my previous Ruizu X52 (with the “Shuffling” feature turned off, mind you).The micro SD card works properly and I had zero issues with it being detected by my PC, nor had I had any problems loading files onto it. Mind you, I haven’t yet attempted to load any songs onto the actual player itself.The sound quality and volume is decent (also unlike my previous Ruizu X52, which only had a max volume of 30 and was pretty low by comparison).As advertised and as stated by other reviewers, it has EXCELLENT battery life.I personally don’t care to use the other functions such as Video, Photos, Recordings, or Ebook as that is not what I intended to have the player for. I use it as a bare bones DAP and for that it works.In all honesty though, due to the overall cons I wouldn’t see myself using this as the “go-to” DAP in my collection. I would only use this if I’m at work or doing any other activity and need a cheap backup player, while reserving a better designed player for more enjoyable listening experiences.UPDATE: I have been using this player almost daily. It took some getting used to the weird UI but overall it's been decent. However, I am updating to add, yet, another flaw that I just discovered.I have come to notice that at times when a song is playing it will randomly start to "crackle" and drag. It has done it on at least two occasions so far and I've only had the player maybe a good week and a half. My Ruizu X52 was notorious for doing the same exact thing at times, often getting so bad that the only way to fix it would be to turn off the player and restart it, which ruins the listening experience - Again, I think this may be a common issue with these Ruizu DAPs.I will update again if I continue to find any more issues with this player.

Bought two for my parents and so far they seem to really like it, it was a bit confusing to learn how to navigate through the interface of the device but we learnt how to do it in no time. The sound system works well, it's easy to download musics on it but it takes a bit of time to transfer files on the MP3 but that can be looked over. I also really appreciate the fact that it's using USB-C rather than micro USB. Battery life is really good, all in all it's a nice little gadget, I recommend it.

All I wanted was to slap my SD Micro card in theplayer, have it find the PLS files (*.pls) andpresent a list of PLS files. I wanted to be ableto search the list, select a PLS file and play it.I also want to see the list of songs (*.mp3) inthe playlist. Play them in order, shuffle orselect one manually and have it play throughfrom there.This player does none of that. It can not even selecta PLS (*.pls) playlist file and play it. It onlyrecognizes MP3 files (*.mp3).I am not going to waste time programming 'one deviceonly' custom playlists unique to only one device -when I already have tons of playlists (*.pls fileson the SD Micro memory card).I can list and play my music on any Android/PC devicewith AIMP and some other MP3 apps. Not so with thisworthless device.This player could only load a list MP3 files and playthem. I do not want a player that tells me what tolisten to, instead of the other way around. I ended upreturning it (thank goodness for Amazon).

I just wanted a simple MP3 player and this one is perfect. The quality is very good for the low price.
