F20 HiFi MP3 Player with Bluetooth, Lossless DSD High Resolution Digital Audio Music Player, High-Res Portable Audio Player with 64GB Memory Card, Support up to 512GB

After purchasing four Digital Audio Players from Amazon & returning each one due mainly to software problems, a Surfans F20 was ordered. The sound quality is good (not always the case with D.A.Ps). Loading the CDs onto this unit is easy using Windows Media Player. Searching for a particular album or artist is done manually, which is easy as the categories are listed alphabetically. The Bluetooth connection for earbuds or an MP3 speaker is faultless. This player supports a wide range of digital audio formats. This also used in the car using a cassette adapter connected via the 3.5mm stereo jack. There are two of these sockets; one for is headphones, the other being line out. I connected the cassette adapter via the line out initially. This produces distortion. On the headphones jack it sound faultless. I did have question about the rotating selector control, so I emailed the manufacturer's after sales support they replied quickly, so the manufacturers' after-sales is good. The Surfans F20 has an alloy case which gives it a weighty, quality feel. A slight glitch in the software does occasionally result in album artwork not being displayed. Another improvement that could be made by the manufacturers' is giving the option of a larger font size. The screen is small and neat. The downside being that the information script has to be tiny. Overall this is a good quality device in terms of sound quality and solid build. At around £100 you get what you pay for. Experience has resulted in that I would recommend this over less expensive players, as so far it has proved to be more hassle-free than those.

I have been using this device for a few days as an audio player (not a USB DAC) and I can tell you the following: The Bad: 1. The software is very simple, you won't be changing any wallpapers or any fun stuff like that, it's designed to simply play audio, kinda like the old MP3 players. 2. The bluetooth on the device isn't great, I had a pair of bluetooth headphones connected to it and it would have this issue where the audio would rhythmically cut out, it is fixed after restarting both devices, and it shouldn't happen, but it does and it is fixable with a restart of both devices. (In my experience) 3. The software in "Category" (Music symbol in menu) reads the files to determine which folder the audio should be in, so if you are trying to organise your music via folders etc on your computer, it isn't going to work unless you are using the "explorer" function instead. (Folder symbol) However, this works fine but was a little confusing at the start. 4. The scroll wheel does take some getting used to, it's not haptic like the old Ipods, it's a physical wheel you have to turn. The Good: 1. It can play almost any audio file you put in it. 2. It does support lossless audio files such as wav and it does play them pretty well. 3. It does have memory play, so if you pause the music due to being busy, it will pick up the last song you played and you can even change it to remember the exact position of the song you were listening to at the time. (Can be changed in settings) 4. The "M" button on the device is a multifunction button, while in a song you can add / remove a song from favourites, edit the EQ, edit the play mode etc. In the "explorer" and "Category" menus it allows you to delete files and add the song to a playlist. Overall it's a simple device that has the ability to play high quality audio. This obviously depends on the headphones you're using and the audio format you're trying to use. If you're using a basic MP3 file with £20 bluetooth earbuds from an unknown manufacturer, the audio isn't going to sound very great and you're not going to have a fulfilling experience. On the other hand, if you're playing Wav files which are uncompressed and have some good quality wired headphones, you're going to have a much better listening experience. I do recommend going through both the "settings" and "system settings" for the device and playing around to see what suits you. P.S If you're having issues with the music not syncing from the card, make sure "Music Sync" is set to automatic in settings, then remove the card and put it back in.

I didn't expect much from something that fits in the coin pocket of my jeans, yet this little metal slab has become my favourite commuting buddy. The body is proper zinc alloy, cool to the touch and heavy enough to feel trustworthy. Up front sits a modest two-inch display, and underneath my thumb that clunky ALPS wheel whirs exactly like the one on my first iPod Mini. The nostalgia is real, but the internals are very much 2023: a PCM510 DAC chews through FLAC and DSD files without blinking. Through a decent pair of wired headphones the sound is remarkably clean. Hi-hats shimmer, vocals sit forward, and the low end stays firm instead of turning into a muddy puddle. Wireless is available as well thanks to Bluetooth 5.2, it copes fine on the train, although my aptX buds sometimes hiccup when I wander off to make a cup of tea, so I keep a cheap 3.5 mm lead in my bag to be safe. The interface will never win design awards: plain icons, plain fonts and exactly three themes. Still, it is quick enough and, crucially, it always reloads the exact track and position I left off at, useful when the inspector appears halfway through a guitar solo. A full charge lasts roughly ten hours, which sees me through a shift and the ride home. The company throws in a 32 GB microSD card, and I have already earmarked a 256 GB one for payday. In short, the F20 sounds brilliant, feels bulletproof and, despite that slightly clunky menu, offers fantastic value for anyone who rates music quality above flashy wallpapers.

Its a great media player I own 4 of them. I usually load the music directly to to a memory card and insert that into the surfans and that always works fine. However when I plugged it in with the cable it caused an unrecoverable error on my laptops hard disk. The cost was £50 investigation by Currys £100 data recovery which failed so they gave me back the £100 £80 for a new hard disk and £40 to install windows etc. I had also lost all the non backed up data ans the use of the laptop for three months so I had to buy a new laptop anyway.

Lo primero hay 2 versiones, una con el micro USB antiguo como sale en la fotos y otra con USB-C, se puede leer esto en foros, a mi me ha llegado desde Amazon la nueva del USB-C. Me gusta el buen sonido pero no quiero gastarme mucho dinero en ello. Este es el ideal para esta situación. Lo estoy probando con unos cascos Sennheiser HD 599, que no son muy caros pero son decentes, y espectacular. Pistas Ogg de 320kbps. No suena enlatado, y mucho mejor que cualquier iPod Classic, tengo el 5a gen y este Surfans le gana en calidad de sonido. El sistema operativo trae muchas opciones y me gusta, está diseñado bien para audiófilos. La calidad de construcción es normalilla, y la rueda no es del todo buena la experiencia aunque se puede usar bien. Yo no usaría este aparato para hacer deporte, lo voy a usar en casa.

This is a simple MP3 player that sounds good and is easy to use.

This is an awesome DAP. No need for apps, logins. Does exactly what it needs to do in an exceptional way for such a reasonable price. If there is one drawback and it’s irrelevant really, it’s that you cannot control sound unless screen is active. A small issue that is easily overcome. It’s hardy, it’s battery life is brilliant and I’d fully endorse this as a great entry and beyond app. Buy it. Then see if you need an upgrade. I’d guarantee you won’t. Well done Surfans.

Built quality, Sound and Battery everything is good, value for money.

Transferred all my songs from my old iPod and it works great
