HIDIZS AP80

Everything for comfort

The developers approached the creation of the HIDIZS AP80 player in such a way as to make the AP line even more ergonomic and stylish. This explains the strict rectangular shape, compact dimensions of 58x49x13 mm and a moderate weight of 70 g despite the metal case. The player received an excellent picture quality Samsung IPS HD display on the entire front part, with convenient swipe control. We did not forget about the physical buttons on the end of the case, as well as a convenient knob that allows you to change the volume, even when the device is in your pocket.

The device is offered in 6 colours and pleases with a complete set. In the box you will find a USB-C cable, a macro USB adapter, a spare screen protector, and a silicone case.

Possibilities of settings and connection

The device boasts the presence of the ES9218P DAC with a frequency of 384 kHz with a bit depth of 32 bits. Most audio formats are supported, including FLAC, DSD, there is support for the Bluetooth AptX codec, and the output power of 70 mW per channel allows you to use headphones from 8 to 150 ohms.

The device can operate as an external DAC, supports microSD up to 1 TB, and battery life up to 15 hours in playback mode at a volume of about 70%. At the same time, charging takes only 1 hour, and in Deep Standby mode, the device “lives” up to 30 days. A nice bonus can be the presence of a pedometer and FM radio.

sound

And finally, sound. Here he is on a solid four with a plus. The bass is clear and accented, the mids sound natural, the highs are bright. An inexperienced listener will be immediately impressed by the openness and dynamism of the sound stage, immersing him in the atmosphere of the track, but “shot” audiophiles are unlikely to find anything outstanding in the sound of the HIDIZS AP 80, although they will not be disappointed either.

In general, the player pleases almost everyone. The case when for $170 you get what you expect, and even a little more.
