Why are MP3 players so expensive?!

I just bought a windows surface pro 3 after I saw the shitty mp3 players and their prices

That's not a MP3 player. They're called DAPs. Digital Audio Players.

I have a Ruizu X02 and it plays .flacs. Anything more expensive than it is just Hi-Res Audio audiophile snakeoil memes. It'll sound exactly the same. You're only buying the FiiO X1 for a better UI. Actually OP just use your phone but if your phone sucks compared to your PC get the Ruizu. Why do you need a dedicated music player? Ruizu was cheap so I got it and it's my bedtime music player.

I would like a dedicated mp3 player because I travel a lot, and my phone gets on my nerves cause I have A Lot of music , to the point where I need around 256gigs of storage but 128gigs will be okay for now

Just looked up the Ruizu X02, doesn't look bad, how long does the battery last on a full charge?

>>57137723
Probably two days or more. It's got a lot of battery.

>>57137723
>80 hours

Everbuying is good. I've ordered a Xiaomi Air Capsule from them once. Don't buy a Xiaomi Air Capsule it sound quality sucks.

You fucking pleb kill thyself

An iPod with a broken HDD, a chink SSD, and an adapter shouldn't run you more than $100. Hell total cost for my 5th gen Classic with a 120GB SSD was $75.
