HiBy Music
I don’t think HiBy needs an introduction anymore after having launched multiple successful portable players. But just in case; it is a company that specializes in the research & development of portable audio equipment. They have been in the industry since 2011. They designed and developed a wide range of products from DAPs to various Bluetooth devices.
They successfully launched many other DAPs in the past and now launched their new flagship: the HiBy RS8. We have reviewed several HiBy products and you can find the reviews here. We have just recently reviewed the new R6 III, and it received a recommended badge:
With the exception of the R8, HiBy mostly targeted the entry and mid-fi segments. But now with its newest player, they are aiming for the top-end range, and to fight with the best DAPs in the market. Let’s get started.
