"This is an exciting year for entry-level DAPs, and the HiBy R2 has done a great job to blur the line between entry and mid-tier DAPs. It is stylish, compact, balanced in sound and performance, and doesn’t harm any fiscal kidneys. This will now be my entry-level DAP recommendation to anyone who asks." Click the full review here.

"This is where the combo shines. This combination has a great synergy to it. Signature instantly feels meatier, bolder and more authoritative. Overall, the combo has very good energy, it is dynamically pleasing for a budget stack. " Click the full review here.

"Hiby did pick the display with the most practical size/performance ratio, small yet comfortable for touch screen operation. R2 is much smaller, making it the smallest and the cheapest DAP with Wifi and built-in streaming apps" Click the full review here.
Moonstar
"A decent sound quality, great battery life and many features like Two-way LDAC, USB DAC, MESB Parametric EQ, Voice Recorder, E-Book Reader, etc. and a fluid UI integrated into an Ultra-Portable device with a very robust all zin-alloy chassis." Click the full review here.

"At the retail price of $99 and still packs all the attractive features that none of its current rivals offers. Build quality is pretty solid with a new zinc alloy on the main chassis with glass panels on front and back sides." Click the full review here.

Customer Reviews
Good product but if the player littlebit thin better.
This little pocket gem is of excellent build quality and features. It would have got a 5 star rating had the screen size been a bit larger or had a manual volume/menu control knob. The sound output is on par with most DAP's in its class and even couple of rungs higher. Overall a value buy for someone who is starting out their DAP journey!
Hiby R2 Delivers Neutral Warm Music, Bluetooth out put is good and Audio quality The best way to describe the sound out of the R2 would smooth and mellow. It has a bit more added warmth and weight on the lower frequencies, making it the less neutral, balanced and transparent of the bunch. But that also makes it quite enjoyable and fun to pair with a different set of headphones, without losing on the level of details. Touch response is not good, Battery Drains using Bluetooth. use it as a DAC.
THANKS TO AUDIO STORE FOR FASTER DELIVERY.AND GOOD PACKING.
Hear it to believe it...gives the feeling of hearing a Room sound system.Must buy for music lovers.
The product is great, you can use it as a DAC and it's capable of playing hi-res music. Haven't tested the battery backup but looks nice. Battery depletes faster when using Bluetooth and WiFi.
Screen size is small but it's quite portable and screen doesn't let you down. It's interface is good and easy to navigate. There's a little bit difficulty in typing because it uses legacy interface for typing (numpad) but that's the only solution to type on that screen because qwerty will make keys much more smaller.
Kudos to audiostore for quick delivery and call responses.
