R4’s Unique Design
R4’s unique design language hails to such elements as cyberpunk, mecha, and space opera. Clear-cut powerful geometric lines cross to form the sihouette of a living, breathing audio machine, with the offset hatch design on the back adding to the motif of a retro classic set in the distant future.
A sturdy lanyard lug coupled with the graffiti-designed lanyard makes for a striking appearance as well as practical usability in ourdoor / active scenarios–the quest for an appealing, youthful outlook follows practical considerations to yield a form that is at once instantly recognizable and suitable for a wide audience.
4-way ES9018C2M DAC array–ultimate product of budget DAP arms race
Sporting an unprecendent-for-the-sector set of four separate ES9018C2M DAC chips in a matched array, the R4 has indubitable fidelity in digital-analog conversion, yielding higher resolution and wider dynamic range from any source file, bringing smoother, purer sound. Supporting native playback of DSD up to 256 and PCM up to 32bit/768kHz.
PCM / DSD dual customized conversion pathways
Separate conversion pathways for PCM and DSD conversion realized for the first time in portable DAPs; separate individually configured / designed DAC chips, LPF and power supplies for PCM and DSD conversion.
Device firmware automatically routes PCM and DSD each to their dedicated pathways. DSD channel more effectively rejects high ultrasonic noise, bringing substantially better listening experience for DSD.
Flagship-grade processing power
Utilizing the Snapdragon 665 SoC with its 8-core CPU, the R4 runs multiple apps smoothly and speedily completes complex music library and audio processing tasks alike, bringing smooth operation and a high quality usage and listening experience to users.

Flagship-grade Audio Componentry
Flagship-grade Audio componentry–28 high-precision tantalum capacitors bring finer power supply ripple rejection for blacker background and greater detail.
3.5mm SE and 4.4mm balanced audio ports make for a wide range of suitable usage. Almost any earphones can be plugged in and the device is well tuned for popular music.

The player is interesting, the Chinese are good at surprising us, this is my third device since 2014, so I have something to compare it with. The sound is smooth and detailed, comfortable to listen to. It works better with 32-ohm headphones (heats up less). Delivery is fast, I recommend the seller.
The delivery was fast and the package arrived intact. The presentation feels super premium and the product offers very good audio quality. In my opinion, it's comfortable to use, although a bit bulky, and I feel that the battery drains a little faster than I expected, but I don't think that's a problem. Sometimes the screen freezes, but it's very rare and not something that bothers me all the time. Setting that aside, everything is perfect and I'm satisfied with the purchase; the design is very attractive!
Very good for the price
It’s amazing exactly what i was hoping for and expected. it even came with the strap which i was assuming i wouldn’t so that’s nice not as bulky or heavy as i thought it would be either. it still is bulky tho and it has weight but not too heavy. fits very nicely in my large hand. the case was a little loose on one part and the package and box was damaged i didn’t appreciate that but it didn’t affect the actually product at all that i’ve noticed so far
Excellent sound. Very good product.
Exceeded my expectations. This is not my first player. Excellent sound. I'm enjoying it
Device came in great shape and works perfectly. i can listen to my tunes offline in high quality flacs! very satisfied.
Delivery in Ukraine takes 2 weeks, by new mail. The packaging is of high quality. I got it at a discount and didn't pay customs duty. The quality of the player is really cool, I've never heard anything like it. It's on Android 12, so you can install Spotify.
Sound quality is awesome. interface is easy to use. connects to wireless earbuds easily too.
So far i'm very happy with the hiby r4. for the price it has exceeded my expectations in both the quality of the product as well as the sound quality. it's a great match with my meze 109-pro headphones, delivering very good sound quality without any sibilance. highly recommended, a great buy!
First i got the green one and used it a day or so. i decided i wanted black instead. both were delivered quicker than many other things. only grip i have with hiby r4 is the album art. if i rip cd via flac file, it lives disc number on album title for every track. i have to edit the name to find art for every track. i love the eq options. sound quality is excellent.
Solid device and came in earlier than expected
Powerful, cool player, bought a fast card for it, the quality is superb, you can really feel the product. It's heavy, about the size of a good phone. I like it. Too big for sports use.
The product is amazing! It exceeded all my expectations. Very beautiful, well-built, and of excellent quality. The sound is impeccable and perfect. The number of features the device has is enormous. The only thing I can complain about was my own mistake, thinking that the screen would scratch easily because it was plastic, when in fact it already had a protective film applied from the factory. I do regret not having bought it sooner. It's incredible and continues to surprise me with its features.
Great player: well-built, tactile buttons, responsive screen, and even comes with a pretty decent matte plastic case. It has a neutral sound source and both 3.5mm and 4.5mm outputs, which is essential for me. Highly recommended, I don't see the need for another player anytime soon.
Honestly for the price you pay you get way more look super premium. Super compact has a very great weight to it. The amount of options as well as the amenities you get with this for the price you cannot go wrong. Highly recommend if anybody is considering getting a dac. This is the one to buy
Absolutely love this device so far! Highly recommend.
Exceptionnal device. The model i received is better that it is saïd in comments. The screen is clear and brigth. Soins is wonderful as said by other people
I love it, i use it for browsing. No camera no location and good music with external storage. Quality gadget, bulky and a tad heavy. I like it very much thank you
Brilliant digital music device. Very well made and packed extremely well. Purchased via aliexpress direct from the hiby company in singapore. Shipped to australia in a few weeks. I am still to learn how to operate an android device. I am sure it will please me as i am particular about quality and impressive sound!
For the moment, the only thing I can say is that it's great. The construction and feel are excellent. The store sent a small strap, I appreciate the detail, I recommend the product.
Shopped fast, new in box, fantastic price. Absolutely brilliant little dap.
Wonderful dap. Love the amount of audio settings and i really like the form factor and chunkiness. Relatively smooth experience and i love having android. Wish there were more customization options though like changing the notifications or lock screen. I love the ambient light on the back and the power button light. It even came with a lanyard, case, and screen protector. Loving bit perfect audio and the sound signature on this little guy.
Genuinely good dap and great value for money
The player is huge. With aluminum chassis. It weighs a lot. It is aesthetically innovative. Ten inputs for conventional headphones, balanced headphones, and Bluetooth connection. You can connect it to the Wi-Fi network and download apps from Google Play. It runs Android 12 adapted to its function. But I really don't like the launcher and icons. The sound quality is incredible with balanced headphones and the Neutron music player app. The official app has a very non-intuitive and cluttered interface. The neutron is ugly, but simple. Detects the characteristics of the player and configures it for HIFI playback. It allows for fast charging, but it's quite expensive overall. It comes with various Android modes or exclusive playback options. Compared to the R2 II and the M3, I prefer the interface of the M3, despite its small size. I'm keeping this player in the hope that they will improve the general Android interface and the official Hiby app, which looks outdated (Apple is still the best). Comes with a dark case and a strap.
