Which bluetooths play music

But it's dirt cheap and generally adequate if you're looking for an MP3 format music player that lives outside your phone. Syncing from iTunes or the Apple Music app isn't supported: You connect it to your computer and just drag and drop the music files.

The portable music player product I played around was the Mibao M No, I've never heard of Mibao either -- and what appears to be a nearly identical version of the player is sold under the Supereye brand, too.

It supports standard 3. It has an onboard FM radio, too. Alas, you get what you pay for: The company's website isn't in English , so good luck with any tech support. More importantly, though, the Mibao's D-pad navigation and lack of external playlist support just had us longing for that classic iPod scroll wheel of yore. Yes, the Mibao is cheap and yes, it plays your music files -- but that's about it. In the distant past, the tiny SanDisk Clip family of players were a serviceable option for basic music playback with similar drag-and-drop limitations to the Mibao above.

But some Amazon reviewers have criticized the later iteration of that model -- the Clip Sport Plus -- saying that its Bluetooth connection wasn't up to snuff. If you want to go this route, you might want to stick with wired headphones. Want to listen to music while you're swimming? Sony offers waterproof headphones that double as an MP3 player with 16GB of storage.

We haven't reviewed these at CNET, and the Amazon reviews aren't enthusiastic, but it's such a unique waterproof MP3 player option, I wanted to include it here.

This 4GB "player in a headphone" model uses Aftershockz's patented bone-conduction technology. CNET hasn't tested these hands-on, either. Once upon a time, people strapped iPod Nanos to their wrists and called it an Apple Watch of sorts.

Just sync some playlists to the Watch, and you can enjoy digital music not to mention podcasts on a set of wireless headphones, even if the iPhone is nowhere nearby. If you've got an old phone -- or you buy a new one without service -- you'll have access to the full realm of app-based music services, and any music files you care to upload.

Audiophiles have long looked down on digital music because the sound quality was notably inferior for golden-eared listeners with distinguishing tastes. But the development of lossless file formats such as FLAC and cheap ample multigigabyte storage have made portable high-fidelity music a reality. I've used earlier versions of each brand, but not the current models. If you're the sort of person who has hard drives full of uncompressed music audio files -- and can hear the difference between that and comparatively low-resolution MP3 and AAC files -- then, by all means, pair up one of those players with your wired headphone of choice.
