Score: 71/100Rankings
The Sony NW-E394/B is a pocket-sized MP3 player offering 35 hours of playback, ClearAudio+ sound tuning, and an FM radio.

Ideal for runners, commuters, or anyone seeking a simple, long-lasting music player without smart features.
The AGPTEK A19X is a budget-friendly 32 GB MP3 player with a 2.4-inch curved screen, Bluetooth 5.3 and a built-in speaker. Its drawbacks are limited playlist slots, sub-par SD-card handling and a modest 8-hour battery. It fits casual listeners who want wireless playback and FM radio without a smartphone.
