Best Mp3 Player Reviews 2017

The good days of Mp3 players might seem to be waning considering the vast amount of other devices that make great music players such as smartphones and tablets. But if you want a device to store all your favorite albums, is a joy to use, and offers sheer portability and top-notch battery life, Mp3 players are still hard to beat.

However, shopping for the best Mp3 player can be overwhelming given the plethora of options available above and beyond the Apple iPod, but you can rest assured there is a great fit out there. First, determine what you will be using the Mp3 player for; whether you’ll be using it at the gym or track, or simply need a device that can store and play lots of music. Regardless of the purpose, great Mp3 players must offer a perfect balance of sound quality, ease of use, and portability.

But take note that it is possible to significantly boost sound quality by simply replacing the manufacturer headphones for high-quality over the ear headphones or in-ear headphones. If you plan on using your Mp3 player outdoors, consider buying one that’s water-resistant.

Battery life can vary across Mp3 players, with some delivering premium sound for an astounding 50 hours on a single charge, and others for 10 hours. How fast you run out of battery juice also depends on the applications you’ll be using; for example, videos can drain your battery a whole lot faster than simply playing music. Although most Mp3 players offer great portability, some are heavier than others, such as hard drive-based devices compared to flash memory players.

And lastly, let’s not forget storage capacity! Most high-end Mp3 players can store up to an impressive 256GB worth of music. But flash-based Mp3 players offer a respectable 32GB of onboard storage equal to roughly 4000 songs.
