Surfans F20 HiFi MP3 Player with Bluetooth5.2, Lossless DSD High Resolution Digital Audio Music Player, High-Res Portable Audio Player with 64GB Memory Card, Support up to 512GB

If you ask my wife, I've gone through too many MP3 players looking for the best one for my needs. I've had a lot of the unknown brands and some are actually really good..just not exactly what I wanted. The one I've been using since summer goes everywhere with me...but I needed something BETTER. Got it with this. Let me preface this by saying this is not for beginners. If the extent of your music playing comes from apps on your phone, you might be lost in the beginning. If you're looking for a touch screen with big pretty buttons, this isn't it. I read another review saying the user experience is bad. I think that's absurd. If you're serious about music but on a tight budget, this has an experience you will appreciate. The UI is extremely intuitive and there are a lot of options and settings to fiddle with to get this set up exactly the way you want it. DAC - This has a great DAC for the price. It's not the most current generation, but at this price point that is to be expected. It does the job and does it well. My FLAC and MP3 sound fantastic pumped through a solid pair of IEM headphones. Blows away other DACs in the next tier down. TI makes a really great DAC! Sound - Even my lower quality MP3s I've been keeping since the days of Napster sound great. Obviously you can tell the difference in quality when one of the old files pops up on the shuffle, but it doesn't sound grainy or glitchy. My high quality 320kbps files and the few albums I've ripped from CD to FLAC are where this shines. It is absolutely phenomenal to listen to hi res audio on this device. I am really impressed at the sound for the price. Build - Another review says this device is lacking in build quality. This is an aluminum brick. The buttons are plastic but seem completely solid. The scrolling wheel is textured plastic but feels very sturdy. I had no problems navigating the menus with it. The buttons are all perfectly labeled and make navigating the interface that much easier. The screen is of a decent resolution for this type of device as well. EQ - This has a very competent 10 band equalizer with lots of presets. Unlike in low-end hi-res players, the equalizer here makes a difference. I've got it set on Rock and it sounds fantastic. I/O - I've used this device with bluetooth headphones, bluetooth earbuds, a bluetooth stereo, single bluetooth speaker, and my car bluetooth. No connectivity problems at all. I get the best sound out of my wired IEMs, though. Bluetooth is fine, but nothing compares to a decent pair of headphones. You can also connect external devices (I used a generic USB stick connected with a micro-USB OTG cable) and get music from those. I've got a 128GB MicroSD card installed and am listening to this device streaming through an Anker Soundcore about 25 feet away as I type this review. The HiBy Music app works as expected, and streaming from my phone through this is really a simple process IF YOU READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. Haha Interface - Three themes to choose from..Doesn't do much but change the color scheme. What I LOVE about the interface is that you can access important settings from the now playing screen. Turn on and off bluetooth, display lyrics, show album art (looks great), and access the EQ. The back button does what it says, and the menu button does what it says. There is literally no issue with the UI for someone who understands file structure or has ever used a computer. There are two other settings menus accessed from the home screen. You can customize nearly everything. Battery - I fully charged this after receiving. Took about 1.5 hours to fully charge. As of this moment, I've listened to music either through headphones or streaming through bluetooth for about sixteen hours. Mostly streaming to bluetooth. Battery bar shown in the photos is showing about 50%. In real world use, this device might need to be charged once a week, especially if you're mainly listening through wired headphones. Overall impressions: THIS is the MP3 player I've been looking for. It's inexpensive, built like a truck, looks good, and has more settings than I can shake a stick at. I am extremely pleased with my purchase.

This system can take accidental drops but be careful because I would not guarantee that. This system does allow portable beautiful music to be shared on speakers or listened to totally privately alone somewhere like on a train or city bus. There may be better systems out there. It may just need mega base boosting headphones if there is such thing. I found that the way I set the EQ causes sound on head phones lacking the full bass that I wrote into my digital remaster song. I get some fair bass with the LFS speakers. It sounds better with LFS bass boost turned off because my EQ settings is how I want it. I doctored songs with audio editors prior to copying them to USB card. Each song is written to sound perfect. I never have to adjust anything on music players or speakers after rendering a track. I once again have bought better speakers than I had when I first bought this device. The sound is even more rich now than any bluetooth speaker I have had before. They are slightly bigger speakers again and not so easy to carry around my neck the way I was doing with little speakers. I can also use a scarf to wrap and tie the speakers up and attach them to any bicycle handle bar on the left and right. No EQ setting is satisfactory for bass on head phones, but I can use my computer head phone port and Windows Media Player, instead of the Surfans music player, to get the sound I expect on head phones with and without a Soundblaster card. What matters is that I get ok sound on bluetooth speakers. The fact is I have never needed F20 for head phones. I will give it 5 stars because it works well. I have remastered every song I listen to to play as loud as it can without distortion, with creative sound level fades so it is not just like a flood of oversaturated volume through, second by second perfection, and bringing out the sound of instruments, excellent pace flow and frequency balance. I would be nice if people would appreciate all the work I did. It is more real to try to go savage and carry speakers without a car or a motorcycle and I want people to like it because of the beauty in it. The music is not just for me. It is also for people outside to get a drift of what I thought was something good. Much of the songs are just sweet love songs people could tolerate. I have had issues with my computer and the micro-sd card getting corrupted at times but it can be fixed and I can export or copy the songs I wanted over any corrupted file from backups or the source. I've never really lost anything. I am familiar with command prompt on Windows and I like using it. I have various sound mastering programs, that are some free progs and some professional software. The main thing is I like the songs and I am not out there being fake pretending that I like it. I may ask the company if I replace the F20, is there any higher quality Surfans player or are they all the same quality. Ideally I would have a receiver/device and speakers that somebody could confirm for me really does all have max bit rate of at least 24bit sound. Such a thing would be worth paying for, and it should be easy to return something that is not genuine luxury. I believe there are bluetooth systems that really could transmit 24bit sound. All they need is someone who cares about it like me.

Lo primero hay 2 versiones, una con el micro USB antiguo como sale en la fotos y otra con USB-C, se puede leer esto en foros, a mi me ha llegado desde Amazon la nueva del USB-C. Me gusta el buen sonido pero no quiero gastarme mucho dinero en ello. Este es el ideal para esta situación. Lo estoy probando con unos cascos Sennheiser HD 599, que no son muy caros pero son decentes, y espectacular. Pistas Ogg de 320kbps. No suena enlatado, y mucho mejor que cualquier iPod Classic, tengo el 5a gen y este Surfans le gana en calidad de sonido. El sistema operativo trae muchas opciones y me gusta, está diseñado bien para audiófilos. La calidad de construcción es normalilla, y la rueda no es del todo buena la experiencia aunque se puede usar bien. Yo no usaría este aparato para hacer deporte, lo voy a usar en casa.

This is a simple MP3 player that sounds good and is easy to use.

This is an awesome DAP. No need for apps, logins. Does exactly what it needs to do in an exceptional way for such a reasonable price. If there is one drawback and it’s irrelevant really, it’s that you cannot control sound unless screen is active. A small issue that is easily overcome. It’s hardy, it’s battery life is brilliant and I’d fully endorse this as a great entry and beyond app. Buy it. Then see if you need an upgrade. I’d guarantee you won’t. Well done Surfans.

Built quality, Sound and Battery everything is good, value for money.

Transferred all my songs from my old iPod and it works great
