TWO WEEK REVIEW - RUIZU 64GB HiFi Lossless MP3 Player. CHINESE SPY MP3 PLAYER? Unscripted review

Unscripted review of the RUIZU MP3 player I've been using for a few weeks now and I wanted to update some feelings on the overall experience of using this RUIZUMP3 player. One odd thing - This player connects to your network and even goes to websites like 163.com ON ITS OWN! It sounds great but does have a few issues - lets talk ... Purchase here on Amazon: amzn.to/3Ygtk7y RUIZU 64GB HiFi Lossless MP3 Player with Bluetooth 5.0, DSD High Resolution Digital Audio Player, High-Res Portable Music Player with 2.8 inch Full Touch Screen, Support up to 512GB Micro SD Card

I have an mp3 player Ruizu D29, I've been using it for 1 year, a very good player, it works perfectly and the battery lasts a long time

[@lklpalka]

Like how you structure reviews, got Surfans you're right, it's great. Do you have a relatively reasonable wired headphones you like that offer near premium experience? Thanks for what you do. Is it possible the volume controller is positioned that way on the riuzu to prevent heating damage?

[@ebeisaac7700]

Nice review! Can you please give a review of RUIZU Z80? It seems to be the cheapest Android DAP available.

[@georgiapeachy]

Tuzz....gr8 review....love how you explain everything.....But how can you manually change the equalizer

[@TUXXREVIEWS]

Thank you very much. YES the EQ can be changed but I will have to look into how - Believe its custom and just save it. I will try to make a video on this later. Thanks! :D

[@PRISTINETECH]

I just ordered this player from Amazon. In the sound settings can you adjust the Gain. Some players give this option which makes the sound bigger. Just curious. Thanks for a great review. I'm looking forward to getting mine and trying it out

[@TUXXREVIEWS]

This player has allot of settings and sub settings I haven't even started experimenting with yet. The 10 band EQ and various EQ presets are very extensive. So there may be a gain adjust but I haven't seen it yet or looked deep into it. I may make a future video on this. The sound is big, open and for a $100 player quite amazing. Of course the player is only as good as the source data (song file) and headphones. Anyway I do suggest buying this player the UI and sound quality is a huge value for the price range (and above).

[@PRISTINETECH]

@@TUXXREVIEWS I Appreciate you getting back to me. It'll be here soon so looking forward to getting in my hands. Thanks..

[@georgiapeachy]

I love this little player it's awesome...I recieved mine a couple of days ago and I love it....only thing i want to change the equalizer manually If It's possible...thanks for sharing your reviews and help me make up my mind to buy this awesome player...Thanks

[@TUXXREVIEWS]

Thanks for sharing enjoy! :D

[@sahilmalhan6644]

Great video. Here are my questions. If I turn off the device in the middle of playback of a MP3, will the device pick up at the point in the playback where it was it was turned off? If I have all of the MP3 files for an audio book in one folder, will it play the files in the folder in file title order or track order

[@examon533]

Hello! I got this device recently and it came with a bug that other people have reported as well. When turning on the device and selecting a song, a loud clicking noise will be heard and the song will always play on max volume, this is fixed by selecting the next song and moving back. It was supposedly fixed in a firmware update but mine still has the same issue and it says that is up to date. Do you know anything about it or where could I get a firmware update for this device?

[@konstantinsobolkov6852]

hey, same here. still no solution?

[@kcderuyter6129]

Friends and I like to listen to audiobooks in readers, and so on we both normally use the open run pro headphones. I have a pair of wireless Bose as well, and wanted to know what you thought as far as the quality of sound for the function, my friends and I have about 100 GB of audiobooks yeah I know that’s a lot and so as a result we looked mostly at these for large internal capacity with large external capacity. How does the function work with the built-in memory Korra versus the expandable SD card up to 512

[@luizbrasi]

Hello, great video!! Do you know if it is possible to connect a headphone to listen to music on the Type-C output of the RUIZU ? thanks.

[@TUXXREVIEWS]

They don't really say but not out of the question. I would try and return if it doesnt meet your needs.

[@willpower8061]

Im confused, Amazon posts the player has 5.0 bluetooth. However the manual states 4.1 I wanted to use dual wireless headphones, which is it?

[@kenwiltshire7834]

Hi and thanks for two great reviews. My sit. is a little different. I perform using tracks in a playlist. I will put together a playlist for each performance, so its important to me just how troublesome is it making playlist and getting them into the player from my Mac. Right now I just put the playlist together in Music on my Mac and sink it to my player. Can I drag playlist directly from Music or would I now have to work with the mp3 files through Finder. Thanks for your help

[@corkydukeII5898]

I've always been a HUGE Sony MP3 player fan, but after searching Amazon for them, there appear to be some that are newer models, but WAAAAAY too expensive (Btw - What's the model # of that Sony you're hoping to review?)

[@TUXXREVIEWS]

Hello, Its amazing how the price of higher end MP3 players have went up from apple and zunes players (2003-2014ish) to the prices of high end players today. Thats the magic of feature rich players like Ruizu and Surfans. This week I'm testing the (sold out everywhere) Sony NW-A306 - AMAZON LINK: amzn.to/3IpAm2O Picture on Tuxx Toys instagram, and its impressive. The unboxing is filmed and working on testing part. Video out next week

[@gomi1224]

does this play album songs in order? i bought a cheaper ruizu once and any album with more than 10 songs would have songs 11 through what-have-you up at the beginning no matter how you tagged it

[@mokuho]

What headphones may be suitable for this player? I bought it and it sounds very flat, low volume, without bass, with Sony 16 ohm headphones?😢

[@cynthiaj.simmons870]

Great video!!! 🤗🤗🤗 I love the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2Pro and the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE!!! 🤗🎧❤️

Hello. Can you make a playlist on the device itself other than doing a favorites playlist?

is it not recommended on portable stereo bluetooth speaker like marshall?

[@Savvier]

hey, thank you for review. can I scroll songs list with that upper wheel ?

[@TUXXREVIEWS]

Yes you can!

[@samstellastephen]

Can this play 2x or 3x speed for audiobooks?

[@c6rtierdilm]

i have a problem with my ruizu d29 that there is less bass of the audio and it sometimes lag so much

[@rogerong6102]

Is ir really worth it to buy this brand & model Ruizu A55? I want to buy this model few days from now. Thank you!

[@TUXXREVIEWS]

This is well worth the price (and more) with the amazing sound and features. I would put this slightly above the Surfans F20 for its features and UI. Now if you were ok spending $350 the Sony NW-A306 is my top choice as it has features of players $1000+ BUT this is a great player your sure to enjoy, its a HUGE value! I would say YES - buy!

[@rogerong6102]

@@TUXXREVIEWS Hello Tuxx, thank you very much for your helpful response. I'll try & see if this unit will live up to my expectations. If not, I'll be forced to buy the Sony NW-A306 during the last quarter of this year when we go to Japan. Have a great day ahead. 🥳

[@stephenvillanueva4010]

can you try IEM like tangzu wan'er or qkz hbb khan or others? also, have you tried using a usb c dac like jcally ja3 or other brands? jcally ja3 is 32bit/384khz..you did not mention the dac or amp thats on the a55, guessing it's only 24bit/192khz which is very decent..hope you do a follow up review with this additional peripherals..I'm eyeing the shanling m0 pro but if it works with a usb c dac, I might go with this one. It's only $80 here in the Philippines but I can get it maybe $70 or $65 depends if its on sale..

[@TUXXREVIEWS]

Ive been looking at a few IEMs although for the money the Surfans SE01 amzn.to/3Okg3Gr Do you have a favorite pair? The Tangzu has been tempting amzn.to/3ls5mYm - Ive looked at amzn.to/3lrnBgq and it looks like a huge value but Its so low priced, not sure sound quality would beat the surfans SE01. As for an amp I use this amzn.to/3zQHwZM I may do follow up on how this plays with other hardware. In some ways I dont like to hook daps to amps as its really a portable at heart. I have the new sony on order.

[@stephenvillanueva4010]

the jcally ja3 usb c dac is just a half inch device, it wont bother me :) or if you have other dac on hand that you can try I will greatly appreciate it, if it will work with dacs through usb c :)

[@stephenvillanueva4010]

Tangzu Wu Zetian is a great set watching reviews about it too. But I already ordered the Khan since it fits the tuning that I like (bass head)

[@TUXXREVIEWS]

@@stephenvillanueva4010 Hello so you have usb headphones and you want to find a DAC that works with your headphones? What DAC are you using (if already own)? The adaptor amzn.to/3xcU5hd looks good if thats what you need. Sorry trying to understand if you want an adaptor or player. Thanks :D

[@everon727]

Have you tried Bluetooth? I have tried 2 other musicplayers and returning them because the Bluetooth is awful. If they promote Bluetooth then it should work.

[@TUXXREVIEWS]

When it comes to HD Audio I listen with wired headphones but Bluetooth does work. You will lose alittle quality but if listening to a normal MP3 you may not notice.

[@giancarloc1985]

@@TUXXREVIEWS Have you tried it in a vehicle? I had two android players that had awful bluetooth with vehicles.

[@GreenIllness]

Can it it be controlled from bluetooth headsets? Like start/stop and volume?

[@TUXXREVIEWS]

I dont see why not, I've controlled from my smart watch but results may vary based on hardware involved.

[@giancarloc1985]

Have you tested it out in a car with the bluetooth? I had two touchscreen android players that I've returned that have been no good.

[@TUXXREVIEWS]

Being an avid fan of HD audio I use a 3.5 mm cable connection. I have on rare occasion I have connected all my DAPs via Bluetooth (if equipped) in my C7 Corvette. It should work but there is variables like your car. It could be the players your trying to get to work but if you have defective player after defective player I would test all possibilities.

[@giancarloc1985]

​​@@TUXXREVIEWS I did my phone and my partners iPod touch in my car via Bluetooth with no issue. Its a 2021 Mazda3 with no aux connection. Seems like many cars are removing that connection. I will get this player anyways, because the sound is likely better than those below $100 android players. If it's my vehicles bluetooth, off to the dealer it goes.

[@TUXXREVIEWS]

@@giancarloc1985 Sorry to her of your bad luck. I just started testing the sony nw-a306 walkman today and really impressed. If you can go up to $350 its a solid choice. I think the only player I look back on as a poor choice is the Surfans F35. I do still love the Surfans F20

[@RickyBobby_USA]

@@TUXXREVIEWS, hey, just watched your review on the F35. I saw that you didn't like the button layout. Your choice of the word "poor" in your comment doesn't seem to match from the vid. Can you elaborate?

[@harpermotorsports16]

I just got one the other day and I can tell you that it WILL accept a 1tb MicroSD card! How awesome is that? 😁

[@TUXXREVIEWS]

Very! I think allot of companies say a smaller number for stability but will take allot (and I mean ALOT more). The only downside is bigger the memory can add alittle slow down to searches.

[@harpermotorsports16]

@@TUXXREVIEWS I also feel it depends on the brand of the card. I try to stick with SanDisk or Samsung

[@harpermotorsports16]

By the way, I bought this player mostly for the cool vu meters when music is playing 😂

you can rip music from cds you own ot trade with friends or some websites. Tidal is great for the highest quality music recordings.

[@jdellabeat6245]

Question. How long is the duration of the battery?

[@TUXXREVIEWS]

5-7 hours continuous work,

[@rickread5902]

I purchased this from Amazon based on this review. I liked most things about it, but did return it due to the player’s horrible battery life. I hated the case and volume control issue you mentioned as a potential issue. I was tempted to file back the top guard or just remove it entirely to solve the problem. The more I used it the more I realized how bad the battery usage was. For me I couldn’t accept the battery performance, it ultimately was a deal breaker. I purchased a Surfans F20 that came with internal upgrades, mostly a change to ESS DAC, firmware v2.7 models indicate the newest build, the model now has USB-C connectivity. The latest build is what shipped from Amazon, noting they have not made changes to the descriptions and pictures showing the older version. I asked the seller if what shipping would have the USB-C version before buying and received messaging stating yes. The Surfans F20 is in my opinion a very good featured and sounding player with greater overall battery life. I’m experiencing something like 12-15 hours on a charge.

[@arkapadma]

what is that WiFi function? Can it transfer file via WiFi to PC/android or what?

Pekase and thanks.. By the way, great video review!!

Yes it has a good output to provide a BT speaker or car etc with sound. The BT speaker has allot more to do with the sound. A $80+ BT speaker will sound better than a $5 ebay BT speaker.
