INNIOASIS G3 MP3 PLAYER

INNIOASIS G3 MP3 PLAYER

You may have read earlier that I wanted a good music player for use while out and about and that I was rather disappointed with the Joliker X58 MP3 player due mainly to its file structure or lack there of. So I thought I'd try another MP3 player, spending a little more in the hope that you get what you pay for. I still knew I wanted one with a microSD card slot but this time with a more tried and trusted user interface, Android.

After spending a little more time on Amazon I found the Innioasis G3 MP3 player which runs an Android operating system which is something I am quite familiar with.

On arriving, the contents of the box are exactly what you would expect, the device, manual, headphones, USB charging lead and 128GB microSD card. First thing to do is find the settings and get the Wi-Fi setup and with any Android device this is quite straightforward and done within a minute, now to do a check for any system update and it appears to be on the latest version straight from the box.



I have placed my entire music collection onto a 128GB microSD card and placed it with the G3 only for the G3 to notify me that a new SD card has been detected and giving me the options of set up or eject, I ignored this to start with as I wanted to see which music app I would use, the following are available: Spotify, Pandora, Amazon Music, MP4 MP3 Player for Kids with Libby, Audible, Spotify Kids (White+ Sky-blue). As I have used Amazon Music before on my laptop and mobile phone I thought I would open that and get logged in using my Amazon account and this proved to be such an easy process as it is on other devices.

To play the music all I have to do is select albums and all the albums that are on the microSD card are listed, it was that easy. They are all shown with cover art, some of which is incorrect but fixable. The albums are shown in order they were last added but this can be changed to sort via album name, artist name or recently added (default). This is indeed leaps and bounds over the Joliker.

On my first go of listening to music using the Amazon music app and the included headphones I am taken aback by the quality of the audio through the included headphones, crystal clear but what I really need are some in ear headphones connected via Bluetooth and I just happen to have a spare pair that I don't use, a tried and tested set of Poounur wireless earbuds. The earbuds took a while to pair but once done I finally had my ideal portable music setup.

I wanted a case to keep the player in along with the charging lead and headphones and doing a search on Amazon I find there are official cases so immediately ordered one. Once the case arrived I placed all the bits and pieces in it, unfortunately I couldn't fit the earbuds in but I'll live.
