Best MP3 Players of 2025

"This MP3 player is small but functional. I love the FM radio option, and the tuner works quickly to find my favorite stations. I can easily delete stations I don’t want and create multiple playlists. The battery holds a decent charge, and when I’m close to my Bluetooth device, it connects seamlessly. Overall, it’s very user-friendly for regular audio use."

"I'm impressed with how well it works. I transferred my iTunes files without a hitch after converting them to MP3 format. The navigation through songs by artist, title, genre, or album is straightforward. After two days of use, I find the battery seems to last forever, and the FM radio tuner is surprisingly effective, too. I did notice that it only picks up FM stations, but the overall performance is great!"

"I really enjoy using this player. It charges quickly and lasts all day, even with regular listening. Initially, I had a little trouble transferring songs, but after reconnecting the USB, it worked perfectly. I’ve learned that I need to create playlists directly on the device, which is a minor inconvenience, but it hasn’t been a major issue. Overall, it’s a sturdy and reliable MP3 player that has a lot to offer!"

"This little MP3 player is a gem! With 16GB storage and the option to expand up to 128GB, I'll never run out of space. The 70-hour battery life is a huge win, lasting through long trips without needing a charge. The lossless sound quality is impressive for such an affordable device, delivering clear audio that makes listening a joy. Plus, the rose gold design is sleek and lightweight, perfect for slipping into a pocket or bag. Overall, it's user-friendly and offers great performance at an excellent price. I highly recommend it for music lovers!"

"I bought this player because it claimed to have 70 hours of battery life. However, right out of the box, I only got a maximum of 50 hours. After two months, it's down to 20 hours of playtime. The response time is painfully slow—up to six seconds for a button to respond! There’s no volume control on the outside, which makes adjustments cumbersome, especially while I’m trying to sleep. I reached out to customer service for help, but they didn’t respond. I ended up replacing this player with a Sony music player, which is worth every penny to avoid the frustrations of this device."

“I loved this as a first music player for my son. The speaker quality is a bit crappy, and I mistakenly thought it was Bluetooth, but overall, it's a great value for the money.”

“I was initially cautious, but now I am obsessed with this little device. I wanted something to listen to audiobooks on besides my phone. It feels quite fragile, almost like a toy, yet I've been taking it to work for a few months and it's performed wonderfully! There have been a few glitches, but they were easily fixed. For $20, if it breaks, I would gladly buy it again. It's functional and easy to use!”

"I replaced my wife's old Sandisk Clip Zip with a refurbished Sport Clip Go, but I was disappointed. This player lacks a memory card port, and the software is awful. It took a lot of effort to get her playlists to work, and many still don’t play. I wouldn't recommend this overpriced product."

"I bought this player a few months back and have been enjoying it. The music clarity is impressive, and it recharges quickly. Overall, great value for the price!"

It's Bluetooth and WiFi capable, and the operating instructions are provided in multiple languages. With 2 GB RAM, 16 GB ROM, and a pre-loaded 64 GB removable SD card, it's a nice plus. I'm very pleased with the quality and features of this device—it should provide many hours of soothing music for Mom."

"Initially, I thought this was a great MP3 player. However, we faced issues with Apple Music updates making it unplayable. It also tends to get a bit warm, and it stopped charging beyond 60 percent. Although other apps work fine, my 8-year-old spent his own money on this, and these problems make it not worth it."

"I found the Libbyapp functionality great for listening to audiobooks. This player is like a small tablet but pocket-sized. After upgrading from a tiny MP3 player, I appreciate its user-friendliness and offline access."

"After trying several music players, I finally settled on this one. It has ample storage and a solid build. I had a minor issue, but customer support was quick to send a replacement without hassle."

"I bought this MP3 player for my music-loving 13-year-old grandson for Christmas. It took him a few days of trial and error to add files, but once he figured it out, he found it indispensable. He even told his mom that it’s among his favorite Christmas gifts!"

"At work, I use this player to listen to the radio. The battery lasts about 2 hours, so I charge it during my break and it's ready to go when I return."

"I found this MP3 player to be okay, not great. It was simple to charge and download music, but the buttons were a bit confusing. It feels a bit fragile, yet it plays music and is good enough for my 10-year-old son."

"I recently ordered this stylish MP3 player and was truly impressed by its quality and design. It's durable, has an amazing feel, and the touch control buttons are a standout feature.

I'd recommend it for anyone looking for a small, lightweight music player!"

"I was very pleased with my initial purchase of this MP3 player, but unfortunately, less than a year later, it stopped working. Now, it only plays one song before restarting, despite my attempts to reset it. I expected it to last much longer for the price I paid."

"I appreciate the simplicity of this player. It's very lightweight and the sound is decent, but I wish it had a better feel and appearance. It loses my place on longer podcasts if I'm not careful, which can be frustrating. Still, it's a good basic player for those who need a straightforward option."

"I was thrilled to find a red MP3 player for my son. He was blown away by the idea of having music without a cellphone. It's cute, straightforward, and durable, perfect for a 6-year-old!"
