The same as R3, Pro variant is based on Linux, that was transformed into HiBy OS. Display registers presses well and stays visible under direct sunlight. Of course screen occupies the most part of the front panel, it’s rather bright with good viewing angles and vivid colors. Combined with good deep sleep mode R3 Pro is a good all-rounder. Charging is a notable improvement, since 20 hours are on paper but in reality you get 17-18 hours single ended and 14-15 hours balanced. Apart from charging and access to memory it allows to connect R3 Pro as DAC and allows digital output and even USB OTG connection. On the bottom there is a MicroSD slot (player doesn’t have its own memory) and traditionally multi-functioned USB-C port. There are both outputs on the top, balanced is 2.5, and probably 4.4 couldn’t fit into such small body. LED shows not only on/off status and battery status, but also the frequency of the signal. In the center there is a small bump that helps to find needed buttons easily. On the left there is a volume rocker, on the right - playback buttons, multicolored LED and on/off button. HiBy follow their traditions and use buttons for controls. I also hope to see steel version, of course, it’s not mandatory, but steel R6 pro has a very good feel. You can choose black or silver color but of course more vivid colors might be welcome. It’s not necessary to apply them since HiBy R3 Pro has protection right out of the box (thanks, HiBy).Īdditional accessories include artificial leather case that can be purchased separately.ĭo you remember a pic showing hard work of Apple designers? HiBy have decided not to change anything, so R3 Pro looks absolutely like regular R3 - aluminum body with rounded corners is slightly different from competitors in its more square shape. Apart from that there is a protective film for back panel and protective glass for the screen. Inside there is a player, USB-C charging cable and thick bumper case made from transparent plastic. Here we get a black box with white dust cover - minimalist, but trusted. It’s funny, but the player has better packaging than senior models in the likes of R5 Pro.

Bluetooth: V5.0 with support for SBC, AAC, aptX, LDAC, UAT.Screen: 3.2″, touchscreen, IPS, resolution 360 × 480.Channel separation: single: 73 dB, balanced: 106 dB.Signal/noise ratio: regular: –120 dB, balanced: –124 dB.Output power (per channel): single: 60 mW 32Ω, balanced: 210 mW 32Ω.The price hasn’t gone up and the player sells for the same 200 dollars and you can ( preorder it from the official website). Despite increased power playback time also increased to 20 hours (a little less in real life, to be honest, but very impressive). The appearance has remained the same, all the changes go the the audio part - there is couple of CS43131 as DAC and upgraded amplifier shows 210 mW per channel in balanced mode. But let’s put formalities aside and speak about changes. Today we will speak about the successor to the younger model - HiBy R3 Pro.įormally speaking this player should be called not R3Pro, but R3 Mark 2 or so, since the model is not senior but upgraded R3, although quite impressive.
