What’s in the Box H2 Player | 64GB microSD Card | USB-C Cable Protective Case | Screen Protector | User Manual Review: Solidly built, great sounding player. - So far, I am enjoying the Hi-Fi Walker H2. I bought it prior to Christmas 2022 to replace my previous player which only held a battery charge for about 2 hours. I have not really had a full duration test with the Walker H2 yet to see just how long the battery lasts, but I can say that it lasted at least 8 hours on a recent long-distance drive playing continuous music! The Walker H2's build is solid. The metal shell makes me confident it will not break if accidentally dropped. One drawback of this player is that the case is sealed, meaning the battery is unable to be changed out. Hopefully the battery will provide many years of service. I appreciate the fact that it accepts up to a 256GB Micro SD card. I have a 128GB in it now (the H2 came packaged with a 32GB Micro SD) from my previous player. I have tons of music on it and have so far come nowhere near filling it up. If you are inserting a new Micro SD card 128GB or above, you may need to first re-format it to the FAT32 file system if not already formatted as FAT32. The Walker uses the FAT32 file system to read/write from/to the Micro SD. Be aware that when reformatting, any existing data on the card will be erased. The controls are easy to learn and use, and the color display is legible. and can be set to one of three styles. One hiccup I encountered early on was navigating the custom EQ settings. The labels for the frequency bands are quite small and I initially had trouble noticing which one was highlighted for adjustment. You basically have to scroll through the bands to the one you want to adjust, select it, adjust it, then click out of it to continue scrolling through the bands. Easy after you do it once. After you set the custom EQ so suit you, you shouldn't have to set it again. There are also 9 other pre-set EQ settings you can try including 'No EQ'. One thing about the play mode of this player that I would change if I could is that you can't just play one album and have it stop after the last track of the album (or the last track in the album's folder). On "Order" (continuous) mode, it moves on to play the next song/album on the list until you stop it or select another track or album. In a way this was good at Christmas, as it just plowed through all the albums in my Christmas folder from A to Z without my intervention. I have not yet loaded any playlists (*.m3U) yet. I'll have to load an album as a playlist and see if it stops playing at the end of the list. The other playback options are single track repeat, repeat all (entire library/memory card), and random. The random playback appears to be a true random which excites me as I am now able to load up my 70's & 80's favorites folders (500+ tracks each) and enjoy a different random playback each time. My previous player's ramdom mode played the same "random" sequence of tracks every time. Loading the tracks to the player's SD card was very easy, but I highly recommend using MP3/ID3 tag info so you can easily navigate through your music (right click on an MP3 file, select 'Properties', then click the 'Details' tab). It can take a little administrative maintenance up front if your music tracks do not come with the tag info filled out, or if you like your artist's names to appear with last name first, or the "The" in a band's name removed or switched to the end of the name (i.e., "Rolling Stones, The") like I like them so you don't have to scroll through a list of bands labeled "The xxx". Anyway, you can just connect your player up to your computer via the included USB cable, turn the player on, and dump all your music files to the SD card once it is detected by your computer. I have not yet tried the bluetooth connectivity feature. Some other features users may appreciate is that the player accepts and displays lyrics files (*.lrc), and displays album art (if contained in the music file). The display can also be set to several different European & Asian languages. Two physical items lacking with this player are a wrist strap, though there is a loop built in to hook one on to. Also, there are no ear buds included, though they would probably be very basic (aka cheap) and you, as I, would use our own devices anyway. All in all, a solid device with just a few small but manageable cons thus far. Review: H2 MP3 Player --very good unit now, with great potential in the future - Amended/Edited Review, December 2022: after using the H2 for some time, almost all the original issues I identified in my initial review have been resolved with my unit, so I'm giving it an extra star. Metadata scanning just took a while to figure out between auto vs. manual, but works great now. The headphone jack issue (I believe) only seems to affect headphones containing an in-line mic (e.g. 3 level barrel plug); regular stereo headphones seem to work fine. I did a fair amount of research on competitive (2022) MP3 players, I really wanted to like the Hifi-Walker H2; I liked it ok, but for the price, I expected a lot more in terms of quality, stability/consistency, and ease-of-use. After receiving mine, I found a grab-bag of qualities-- some excellent, some merely confusing, some disappointing. First, the good news: the sound quality is extremely good. The build quality and metal case inspires confidence and is very good. OTG via USB C is a good feature, though clumsy in requiring a separate OTG cable not provided. The inclusion of a separate, truely "line-level" 1/8" phono jack output, in addition to the headphone 1/8" phone impedence jack is superlative (if only they worked simultaneously). Next, the "middle" points -- features that are ok but could really be improved: the user interface is 'interesting', with the circular selection wheel, but also very quirky -- e.g unlike any hierarchical scheme, there's no indication when you start rotating the selection/menu wheel, where its going to lead you, or where you'll end up. This is complicated by the mixed metaphor of a 'wheel' (suggesting a flat 1-D menu layout) vs. the "Back' button at lower right, suggesting at least a shallow menu hierarchy. The labelling of a separate "Setting" selection (which should be shown as Music Setting!) vs. System Setting is a bit odd. Oh well. Overall, for a MP3 Player with this cost, look & feel I would expect it to also have a FM radio. And WiFi to stream Spotify or others streaming services,. It does offer Bluetooth, but unfortunately I could almost never get the Bluetooth to actually pair with nearby common BT devices, particularly Sony bluetooth speakers, or any other bluetooth speakers. For the very few BT devices it would pair with, it's range was weak & excessively short (" symbol, the music player shows a ">" Play symbol when it is already playing a song. When a song is playing, I expected it to display a "||" symbol, since it is already in the act of playing a song, the only logical other action is to Pause the action, not press "Play" or ">" symbol which it is *already" doing. That's a minor logic bug you can get used to. Next: when a song is playing, a small set of vertically oriented sub-options appears on the right margin, and is obscured if an album cover image is underneath it. The interface offers really no indication at all how to navigate to or operate this tiny, vertical set of options. Experimenting reveals the tiny physical "M" button accesses these sub-options, sort of. Once you stumble onto the sub-menu items (Heart symbol for favorites, ">>", "<<" etc, you have to guess that the main wheel is the way you move up & down between them; Again, it works, sort of, but since the iconography and scrolling text is so tiny, due to the overly small non-touch screen, its much more of a chore than expected; a bigger screen would definitely help. Last, the flaky output jacks. Using the headphone jack and Line Out jack was initially frustrating, as these appear very sensitive or fragile for connections, emitted only one side like "mono", and didn't work consistently with several of my high-quality standard 1/8" phono jack cables, studio headphones, and earbuds; I eventually got some to work, but this was NOT a confidence builder, and almost inspired me to return the H2 player immediately, as getting a good headphone (or line out) 1/8" jack to work consistently should be a no-brainer; I finally got it to work in stereo by jiggling it,noting that slight movements caused it to go "mono" again. OVERALL IMPRESSION: See updated review comments at top. Picking up the HiFi Walker H2, you feel its heft and quality and you will like it compared to most others. It has the potential to be a very good MP3 player with some refinements. The interface design could definitely use improvement, as noted above. In my opinion, without a more stable Bluetooth, FM radio, and lack of Wifi, I think its overpriced as it is now. I do enjoy its superlative sound quality. ## Features - [Hi-Res Sound with ESS DAC] Built with the ESS ES9018K2M DAC, the H2 delivers clear, detailed sound for serious music listening.

Is it compatible?** A: No, it is not compatible with iTunes. It works more like an external hard drive. You just plug it in, the option to open as a folder appears, and you just drag and drop your music into it. **Q: How do I connect my Bluetooth headphones/speakers to the H2?** A: Make sure the Bluetooth device is in pairing mode (make sure the device is not connected to an external Bluetooth device). If the Bluetooth device is in pairing mode, turn on Bluetooth on the H2 and search for the Bluetooth you want to connect to. **Q: Why can't I feel the real hi-fi sound when I connect cheap headphones?** A: The H2 supports high-resolution DSD music format. To experience the high-fidelity sound, it is recommended to connect professional wired headphones or a speaker system. **Q: How can I use the USB DAC function?** A: First, you need to switch the H2's USB mode to USB DAC mode. To do this, go to the setup menu and select 'DAC' as the USB mode. Then connect the H2 to your computer via USB, and it will be recognized as a USB DAC. **Q: Can this player play all tracks in random order?** A: Yes, it can be done. Go to the settings, set the shuffle mode, and then go to the songs section instead of the albums or artists section. The default order of the songs is sorted alphabetically by the first letter. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solidly built, great sounding player. *by F***4 on January 25, 2023* So far, I am enjoying the Hi-Fi Walker H2.

Overall, for a MP3 Player with this cost, look & feel I would expect it to also have a FM radio. And WiFi to stream Spotify or others streaming services,. It does offer Bluetooth, but unfortunately I could almost never get the Bluetooth to actually pair with nearby common BT devices, particularly Sony bluetooth speakers, or any other bluetooth speakers. For the very few BT devices it would pair with, it's range was weak & excessively short (<= 10'). I bought this H2 MP3 player mostly to attach as a "fixed, always ready" player (via bluetooth) into my studio Tascam Model 12 hybrid analog/digital mixing console that supports Bluetooth and it does minimally work for that. Luckily, the HiFi Walker H2 did manage to pair with my Tascam Model 12--if it hadn't done that I would have started the return process immediately. When I tested the H2 using its "Line Out" into the Tascam Model 12, I note that using the "Line Out" disables the headphone jack output -- ideally, it would nice to have it output to both the headphone and "Line Out" at the same time. Now for the flat out disappointing points: once I loaded a collection of 50-60 songs on a SanDisk Extreme SDHC 16Gb or 32Gb card, with my MP3's organized by album, artist, genre etc (via the full set of ID3v1,ID3v2 media metadata parameters), I expected the H2 to default to an Auto-Scan, to pick up the SDHC card contents by folder and re-build its indices. No such luck. Under the wheel option "Category" I definitely then expected to find an explicit SCAN NOW option or button. Surprisingly, there is no SCAN NOW option or button, despite the "Setting" option inferring there is one, e.g. allowing one to select "Manual" (whatever that means) vs. "Automatic" (whatever that means); neither setting appeared to work as intended, to perform an active scan of the SDHC media card (here labelled a TF card). Without a SCAN to build the index of a media card's contents by Album, Artist, etc. the wheel option "Category" merely returns "0's" for all the useful categories e.g Artist, Album, Genre, My Favorite, and even "Songs". Only the "Recently Played Songs" category reveals a positive number like 1,2,3 etc. indicating a song played only via manual folder browsing. There is obviously some way to FORCE a "re-scan" of the SDHC media card to re-index it, but I haven't discovered it yet. This is needed to populate the "Category" option's metadata fields like "Album","Artist". Offering an explicit SCAN button for SDHC media shouldn't be a puzzle, it should be clear, up-front, and easy, with the a default behavior that does it automatically like my old cheap Ruizo and every other MP3 player does. Next issue: the player symbology for the "Play" vs "Pause|Stop" seemed backwards to me; when you press the Play ">" symbol, the music player shows a ">" Play symbol when it is already playing a song. When a song is playing, I expected it to display a "||" symbol, since it is already in the act of playing a song, the only logical other action is to Pause the action, not press "Play" or ">" symbol which it is *already" doing. That's a minor logic bug you can get used to. Next: when a song is playing, a small set of vertically oriented sub-options appears on the right margin, and is obscured if an album cover image is underneath it. The interface offers really no indication at all how to navigate to or operate this tiny, vertical set of options. Experimenting reveals the tiny physical "M" button accesses these sub-options, sort of. Once you stumble onto the sub-menu items (Heart symbol for favorites, ">>", "<<" etc, you have to guess that the main wheel is the way you move up & down between them; Again, it works, sort of, but since the iconography and scrolling text is so tiny, due to the overly small non-touch screen, its much more of a chore than expected; a bigger screen would definitely help. Last, the flaky output jacks.

Nice size holding it in my hands to me. Hook up to my computer and started down loading songs from window's 10 1600 so far took about 40mins to down load using the 16gb card that came with it through my computer it maybe faster on other systems. It has a nice 10 band eq, and a few eq setting, a built in higher gain volume setting witch helps a lot for playing through my Dos Bluetooth speaker box. And it sound really sweet smooth sounding playing through little 25 watts tube amp. I have a mix of song formats the walker h2 plays them all even the songs that are not so good sounding it plays them better to me a strong plus for me. 1 cool thing about it you can use the usb port and hookup another memory stick and play songs through usb port another strong plus. I have 5 mp3 players pricing cheaper than the Walker h2. I took a chance on this 1 and very please with it so far this is a keeper. Headphones a meanly use jvc cheap I had for 12 years and pioneer se-mj54-r. i will post a few pics. I have 5 mp3 players all together - Agptek rocker v2, Sony nwze 385, Bassplay p3000, Tomameri, Fiio x1 2nd gen. Just me mind you - Walker H2 is my choice over what I bought so far. If you can afford the asking price trying it out you will be super happy with it. I jump on it when they price came to $129.00. Not sure why 3 stars from 1 reviewer 15000 songs is a lot. No problem with my bluetooth connecting. Date 10/8/2017 This mp3 player super bad nice. Man we took with us on a 5 day vacation inside the big whirlpool room and the out rooms 2 level with nice clean music. The room next to us at 11:30 a night, a tap on the door ask me if we could turn up just a little louder they will be in there whirlpool for about 2.5 hours they have no music to play. I said yes thanks to. The Walker H2 has a loud preamp jack 3.5m that plays louder than using the headphone plug. I got a chance to use it man I was just blown away how loud it played clear smooth sweet music. We use it at the water front and a lot people came up to us asking about the mp3 player and the hole setup we lift it there for 5 hours the worker guys ask us to they will watch it. I have now over 2800 songs on it. Mix music blue's jazz's rock soul, oldies mix. When me and my wife came back people was dancing to my little sound system. I had to answer a lot of question about the walker h2 mp3 player. This is really a nice mp3 player. If walker ever lower the price i will a 2nd 1 to keep for spire 1. Up date 2/23/2018 The walker still going strong no complaints I drop it about 8 times 1 time I was riding my bike. Man it's still works like new. 12/13/2018 i been trying sense July the company did respond back to me ask me about head phone shorting out. when i reply back saying i don't use it for head phones I use it for my home stereo and car audio using a 3.5 plug. they will not return massages back after this. I been messing with them for a few mouths they will not warranty it. the problem is the sound comes out a little distorted bass and highs now. I can't find a number on the sight to call them. so people buying this you make sure they will warranty it. I'm trying to get amazon to step in for help. ## Frequently Bought Together - HIFI WALKER H2 HiFi MP3 Player with Bluetooth 5.2, Lossless DSD FLAC Player, Digital Audio Player Hi Res Portable Music DAP Player with 64GB Micro SD Card, Support Up to 256GB - MP3 Player Case for HIFI WALKER H2/ H2 Touch/ G7/ G7 Mini and Other Music Players, 4.5inch Portable Hard EVA Case, Protective Travel Case for MP3 & MP4 Players, USB Cable, Earphones, Memory Cards - SanDisk 256GB Ultra microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card with Adapter - Up to 150MB/s, C10, U1, Full HD, A1, MicroSD Card - SDSQUAC-256G-GN6MA [New Version] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ma/products/44406338-h2-hi-res-bluetooth-mp3-player-with-64gb-microsd-card](https://www.desertcart.ma/products/44406338-h2-hi-res-bluetooth-mp3-player-with-64gb-microsd-card) --- *Product available on Desertcart Morocco* *Store origin: MA* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
