Headphone recommendations

Hi people. I recently got the Hiby R4, and so far, it’s been amazing. For headphones, I got the Moondrop Chu 2 iems. And although they do a pretty descent job, they don’t have noise cancellation, which affects the sound quality. So, I’m looking for recommendations for headphones with noise cancellation that pair well with the Hiby R4. I preferably want something wired and in ear. I’m not a big fan of over the head headphones, but down to get some it it’s worth it. Thanks

Hiby is cool!

Hey folks! Just wanted to give you an update. As I mentioned, Fiona said they are working on the issues. Keep in mind, Fiona is just a customer service rep... She can't program in Linux!

Turns out, HibyLink on the R1 I sent doesn't really matter. My friend's daughter is getting a Hiby R1, with Koss PortaPros (used. That's like 10 years old!)

So it is a happy ending after all, at least I'm my case. But I think Reddit saved the day cause it got me in touch with Joe, so now I feel like I have personal connection with Hiby.

Anyhoos....v have a good night, all

Hiby R3 II playback after turning it off

I recently bought the HiBy R3 mainly for listening to music and audiobooks. With audiobooks especially, it’s useful that the device remembers your position since you can be hours into a file and don’t always keep track of where you left off.

However, I’ve noticed that the HiBy doesn’t seem to remember my last played file at all - for both music and audiobooks. Because of that, I constantly have to pay attention to where I stopped or even write it down so I can manually find my place again.

Is there any way to fix this or make it reliably remember playback position and last played track?

Hiby R1 volume super high

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has encountered the same problem before. I just got my Hiby R1 today and when I tried to test it out with my Tanchjim Bunnys, I had to turn the volume down to 1! The music was so loud. Anyone encountered the same thing before? Is there a way to turn the overall volume and sensitivity down a bit?

Edit: Thanks to everyone! After testing and testing I figured out that it is probably the Bunnys 😞 Old earphones and my gaming headset made me realize that it`s not the Hiby R1 that`s too loud, but probably the Bunnys

Let's just call it the "Jeff Chung Special Edition" firmware

I will let the videos speak for themselves.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/MMEtMTPN2A8N8V8u5 (28,422 files successfully scanned, but "SD card not found")

https://photos.app.goo.gl/7G1vhccJMC6VjEyq6 (Ok so I can't access through folders, let's just enjoy the music. Nope.)

This is my third Hiby. The last 2 being the R3II 2025. It checks all the boxes for me. Small, volume knob, powerful enough to push my Hifiman Sundaras, believe it or not.

But I've had nothing but problems with the Bluetooth connection and SD card reading. Today. I found the biggest glitch I can imagine.

I'm fairly positive they will have to fix it. I told them they would lose me as a customer. And surely they would lose a lot of you folks. Fortunately, Lori at Hiby had been very nice. Maybe I can get a job there! 😛

Happy listening, friends. Today was a win. Thank goodness I have my Shanling M5 to get me through the night. 😁

M500 4G , Does it have individual microSD and SIM slot, or is it shared?

I'm thinking about getting the M500 4G, but would like to know if the sim card is a independent slot, independent hybrid slot (microSD/SIM), or shared with the MicroSD.

Also, would like to know people's experience with using the M500 as a phone

Is this safe?

I’ve been looking at options to connect my r4 (balance port) to my car stereo and I saw this cable which states it can but I wanted to know if this is safe for my dap?

Hiby miku m500 pre-order?

So I bought the m500 4g with the iems and was wondering if it was a preorder or not, because I can’t find a straight online and might cancel if it is a preorder. I ordered it 4 days ago

Hiby R6 iii case recommendations

Hi. Loving the Hiby R6 iii 2025 so far. Only let down is the included case.

Can anyone recommend a case that allows easy access to volume wheel and buttons but also protects the front screen? TIA

Hiby R3ii (2025) volume knob not functioning as on/off switch

I received a Hiby R3ii (2025) in early March of this year and really enjoyed it. I had been using a FiiO M7 since 2017, so it was nice to have something a little more current. However, it developed a problem a couple of weeks ago that makes it nearly unusable: the volume knob doesn’t turn the unit on or off when pressed. It still controls the volume, so it is not totally broken. I’ve tried resetting and various other troubleshooting methods, to no avail. The only way I can use it is to plug it into a power source to get the screen to appear and then turn off all the sleep/power down settings, but obviously this isn’t ideal. The Amazon return window is closed, so I really have no options. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a fix? Meanwhile, I purchased a TempoTec Variations V1 that is far, far better than I expected it to be. It’s amazing, except for the ultra small screen.

Is Hiby R4 good as a long-term dap?

Heyy,I'm going to buy my first dap and hiby R4 is there on my list. I'm getting one for 18000 inr( almost 180 dollars).

And I'm actually interested on it as its on a discounted price(usually it's around 25000 inr/ 240-250 dollars here)and also as it's an excellent dap. But still I heard many people complaining about battery life, heating issue with class A amp, limitations with 3gb ram etc.. Soo R4 users, please lemme know your experience and suggestions. Really looking forward for some advice cuz I'm a bit confused here. I need my dap to be stable in the long run and reliable and good for long term usage. I also has a consideration for hiby m300 but the deal I got for R4 bought it to the same price of m300 and now that's also making me confused as hardware wise, sound wise,R4 is superior than m300 right soo. Need some help with this buy.

Ran R4 through Fosi Audio K7, sounds horrible

I am using the 4.4mm plug on my Arya Organics and it sounds all muffled and overblown. I had to turn off all EQ on the R4 and even then it was pretty bad.

I usually use the R4 alone and will be doing so going forward

How to get an album to display one cover for every single track?

So I have made a custom album, embedding a unique cover for all 6 tracks. The player displays only the first one though, unless I turn the screen off and on to look at the wallpaper, only then does my AP80 Pro Max display the correct one but trimmed. How do you ensure it switches cover?

Another day, another HibyOS bug (R3 ii 2025)

I've recently updated the firmware from my Hiby R3 ii 2025 (ver 1.3) and I've noticed this strange phenomenon, in almost all of the albums from this music group (Parcels) that's on device, the track order is completely random. The issue only appears for this music group only and no one other artist/album. I've checked the track numbering for the individual tracks on mp3tag and they are correctly numbered. I've also transferred the files onto my phone to check and they appear in the correct order. Anyone know what in the world is going on or anyway I can fix this annoying little bug.
