Pros-
Nice resolution screen
Stable Bluetooth connection
MSEB makes music shine more
Pre-applied screen guard
Cons-
Scrolling through the album shuts down the player, as it can't handle so many albums in a list
I wish it could have at least a 4-inch screen.
Overall, a good product!

HiBy R1 Hi-Res Portable Music Player - Value Set / White
This is an valuable addition to a list of Hiby DAPs that moves my music listing experience to a different level. I love that it is compact but still has power enough to drive my IEMs and TWS. Im very much satisfied with the battery back up and its standby time which is an added advantage to music lovers. It was able to drive mp3 m4a and flac with out any issues

Have been using it for 10 days now paired with Simgot ew200. This is my first DAP in 10 years (Last was Sandisk Sansa Clip plus).
I got a 256 GB SD card and loaded HiRes music. Works brilliantly as expected. No complaints at all. I think 15 hr battery is what it has given me.
Except for a lag which required a hard restart once, no issues at all.
Audiostore was also very prompt with the dispatch as soon as I ordered.

They sound just amazing, I would say that the app a little rough to use. I can vouch they sound amazing. better than most of the tws which are out there in the market. Also, the Online dsp, gives a little edge it you want to tune them, and you can also upload your on DSP. Overall at this price point, It' a 10 on 10 deal.

Exceptional Sound with Balanced Bass
I’m genuinely impressed. The sound quality is exceptional—crisp highs, clear mids, and a bass response that’s just right. It doesn’t overpower the mids or muddy the overall sound, which is a rare balance to strike in this price range.
🎧 Sound Signature: Tuned to the Harman Target with a tasteful bass boost. It adds warmth without sacrificing clarity, making it perfect for everything from vocals to electronic music.
🔊 Bass: Not too high, not too low—just enough to give depth without distortion. It complements the mids beautifully.
🛠️ Build Quality: Solid and premium-feeling. The fit is comfortable for long sessions, and the mic is a handy addition for calls or gaming.
Overall, it’s a fantastic value for the price. If you’re looking for an IEM that delivers refined audio with a touch of bass and excellent build quality, this one’s a winner.
