MP3 Player, MECHEN M30 Lossless High Resolution Portable Digital Audio Music Player with 64GB Memory Card, DSD DAC,HiFi Lossless Audio Player，Support up to 256GB

This is a great little player with surprisingly impressive audio quality for the price. It handles lossless files very well and delivers a clean, balanced and detailed sound that I genuinely didn’t expect at this budget. One of the real strengths here is the customer support. It’s genuinely first-rate. I’ve contacted them a couple of times — not due to any fault, but for guidance on getting the best performance and understanding how the player handles files and folders. They replied quickly, clearly, and actually knew what they were talking about. This is my second M30 (my first one from March 2023 was recently damaged by water), and the support has been consistently excellent. The player itself is very well made: solid, nicely weighted and with buttons that feel positive and precise. The scroll wheel is especially useful for fast navigation through large libraries. A useful note for anyone with big music collections: using folder browsing and genre browsing allows far more tracks to be accessed than the “All Songs” mode does. And it works on a branded 512GB microSD card well. The Amazon description should be updated to say it supports 512GB. Overall: great sound, compact size, very strong value for money, and rare to find support this responsive these days. Highly recommended.

Does everything I wanted. I've gotten big into lossless audio and this did the job well as a portable player. The SD card it came with wasn't reading at first, pop it out, put it back in, easy works fine aftwards. The sound is good, the controls are intuitive, and while the menus are a little clumsy and slow to get around, it does the job perfectly fine considering it's really just for music. Easy to go by album or by folder and play what I wanted, even if not as fast as other methods on other devices. A little frustrating the device won't appear on my computer when plugged in with USB, so in order to load up the SD card with music I had to transfer them from a device that could read the SD card directly, maybe something to keep in mind if you intend to pick one up. Good device, feels well built, good tactile controls. Not perfect, but does everything it should as well as you could want it to.

This is the best MP3 player that I've ever owned! I know some people didn't like the weight of it but I love it. It is so sturdy, even when I've accidentally dropped it or sat on it there's no worries of it breaking. The sound quality is crisp with plenty of base and it's very straightforward to put your playlist onto it. I would definitely recommend this product!

Only had a days use so far...but....this player is absolutely awesome! Was VERY surprised at how solid it feels, it has a weighty feel to it and all the buttons click nicely, it's easy to use and mine is quite fast around the menus etc. Overall build quality seems great especially for the price...the sound quality, oh boy....get a decent set of headphones and put a decent flac file on it and it is amazing! The music is detailed, but smooth, there is nice separation between instruments and the vocals are great, I have my bose quietcomfort connected to it wired( if you have same bose headphone make sure you power it on even though your wired) and have set the equaliser to soft as it boosts the mids and treble slightly and this player beats my old and more expensive Sony hi res player for sound, metal like megadeth sound particularly good on this player but I'm also enjoying hiphop on it. The volume gets LOUD, I only need it on 40 out of 100 max and that is loud enough for me on this player with these bose headphones, ( again if you have bose wireless headphones, make sure you turn volume up on the headphones and then on the player to get best volume) I'm VERY surprised and happy all round with this player, it will please audiophiles with its sound, especially on metal but like I say, hiphop is also great, time will tell if it lasts but I hope it does, it feels like it will . 5/5 from me

I bought one of these because I wanted to try out lossless music, and admittedly because the design is pretty attractive. The cut out around the wheel in the corner, the metal build, and the shiny buttons really catch the eye, and managed to lure me in, for better, and for worse. Setting up the device was a bit of a pain as a first-timer. Having to format a card was one thing, but then having to go through every single song and make sure that the album art was the right resolution, and that the file names would work with the very basic sorting system was more than tedious. It's strange that it reads the metadata for things like genre, but doesn't seem to so the same for file number or song name. Navigating through the menus is also quite tedious. On the home screen, the icons move in the opposite direction to the way your scroll with the wheel, which is quite annoying. Beyond that, the design of the device very clearly emphasises the scroll wheel, however, if you actually try to scroll through menus, you'll find that it's basically pointless. Sure, for the seven songs on screen, it's fine and as speedy as you'd want, but the moment you try to scroll further, it stutters considerably, and takes far too long to load the file names. It's as quick to just use the forwards/backwards buttons. Loading the songs themselves is also frustratingly slow. If you have, say, and album with songs that flow into the next, you'll have to suffer through pauses of up to four seconds between songs, which ruins the experience. Even for a normal album, that can be quite frustrating. The sound of the device is, however, quite nice. There's a lot of clarity, and it's fun being able to more clearly hear individual elements in a song. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the screen. The low resolution I don't mind, but the extremely narrow viewing angles before the colours white out is unpleasant. Battery life is actually pretty good, although it is a shame that the charging port is micro USB instead of USB Type-C. Overall, the price, design, and sound profile of the Mechen M30 is pretty attractive, but the actual user experience - from painfully sluggish loading and scrolling speeds, to the tediousness of formatting all your files - makes it difficult to recommend. It feels like an anachronism, like something you'd find in the early 2000s and put up with because it's the best available, and while the sound quality is great, using it feels so archaic compared to any modern music app you'd already have on your phone. The ability to listen to FLACs on the go is one thing, but the lethargic loading effectively ruins certain albums, and makes the scroll wheel pointless. If you think you'd like the sound, then for the price point, it might be worth it for you, but if you want to save yourself a lot of tedium and frustration between the formatting process and the atrocious loading speeds, I'd recommend going for something else.

Leaving previous review details here incase it helps. but it broke. didnt last a full 3 months. support is not available via amazon and they've not got back by the email they're suposed to. so i'm just out on my money. I just wouldnt risk it... Previous review was 3star: So, the instructions werent the clearest. it kept turning itself off while i was trying to do set up stuff, which it turns out was the sleep mode. i assumed sleep would be after a certain time inactive. no if it's set for 2 minutes the whole player turns off in 2 minutes even mid song. which is silly. The actual music option wont play music. MP3, WAv, WMV files, all that it says it supports it just says it 'doesnt support that format'. you can however go through the folder option, and select the exact same tracks and then it will play. took me ages to work out. but doing that you can only play one folder at a time. i like to put my entire collection on shuffle and see what comes up. i should be able to through the music option but since it wont play anything obviously i cant. i have no idea if mine is just defective, or if they're all like this. But it's just so odd and complicated. The actual player has a nice feel to it, it's chunky and a good weight, decent sound, no major issues with the rest, although the thing was in my bag for a week and the screen is already scratched, but it's only aesthetic damage. I just have no idea if it's suposed to be like this, or they all do this. if they do, cant recommend it. If mines just defective and the rest arent then i think i'd be really happy with it (if i had a working one).

I have given this player 5 stars because it suits me perfectly. The down side for some people may be its weight (it’s not dreadful but heavy for such a small object), but it hasn’t bothered me. The sound quality is excellent but the very best feature for me is that it has real, physical buttons to press for playback controls. Why is that important? With a little practice you can change tracks, vol up, vol down, start, pause etc with the player in your pocket. You don’t need to look at a screen to use these controls. It’s great for walking and podcasts! So if you are looking for a solidly built, easy to use player that you don’t need to put on your glasses every time you want to replay or change volume etc this could be for you. As I have said, as a walking companion it’s perfect for me.

Looks and feels really nice, sound quality is fantastic. The user interface let's it down for me, it seems a bit clunky and not well thought through. Just a little adjustment to the size and placement of the select button would be a great improvement. The instructions are difficult to read without a good magnifying glass as are most modern instruction books. Overall I like it but would I buy another? Probably not. The SD card provided that I had spent a lot of time adding music files too just stopped functioning after two weeks. Fine I bought another SD card, and it works perfectly so far.

This mp3 player exceeded my expectations! The in-built DAC delivers high quality audio, even through my Sennheisers. The ability to group tracks into playlists on the device is very handy. Thoroughly enjoyable device experience. A+++

Great mp3 player. No wifi or bluetooth brain fog included. Just a very good music player. Loud and good sound. Recommended.

exactly as described and exactly what I wanted, no frills or unnecessary features, no input or output signals (bluetooth, wifi, ect). Just plays music and does it well, simple to set up, organize and press play without needing to interact further. Even has a sleep timer as an added bonus. has multiple equalizer presets along with a custom set. Great size and surprisingly weighty , all the buttons feel great and responsive, easily memorized so that you can press what you need without having to look at the device. easy to navigate menu's. the sound quality is great playing FLAC and WAV files. Im yet to see the battery deplete beyond half way through regular use sometimes hours on end. Really no complaints.

I purchased this player specifically because it does NOT have more modern features like touch screen and wifi and bluetooth. Every time I use my phone for stuff like this it seems like you touch it the wrong way and it just annoys me being so touch sensitive ugghhh... I just wanted a simple player with a good interface that is intuitive to load all my folders of albums. I have probably close to the max of 256gb of music on my computer, recorded vinyl records and ripped CD's and I wanted to get better sound than a phone. There are phones that have good sound but not for this price. I hook this up to an Aomais bluetooth speaker with a stereo cable in, and also bring it into the car the same way, through the AUX port. There is nothing wrong with a solid player, and it feels solidly made, that is like a walkman I use to have. The interface is intuitive and pretty simple, and I have nothing bad to say about it. Are there other players that cost more and have better sound? Sure, but the difference isn't much. The thing is, standards are up these days and what you can get at this price point is great. You want the highest quality, which is only marginally better? You'll pay way more for that. And besides that, most sound can be EQ'd so for clear reproduction of whatever it is you ripped into digital, this will be perfectly fine. Small enough for your pocket, even though it has some weight, and it won't just go do whatever it wants if you touch it the wrong way. No stupid android to deal with or bluetooth connectivity problems etc etc...Just fun listening. It comes with a 64gb card, and that holds a ton even with all my files being flac. If I lost this tomorrow I'd get another one right away, I'm not going to pay 500 for something that has features I don't need or want. Simple is good, and it also has a line level out for when I get my stereo receiver set up to input this into. The ONLY negative here for this, is that they haven't upgraded the micro USB to a USB C which is a newer standard so hopefully they'll upgrade that at some point and maybe a higher capacity transfer/charge cable but you can always pull the card out and use a faster reader and reinstall the card. Thanx Mechen!
