Hiby R6 III 2025 - Digital Audio Player

€399,00

The R6 III 2025 is the step up from a first player. Where a budget device gets you loud, this one gets you clean. Four DAC chips and a genuinely quiet, low-noise design give it an unusually black background — silence between the notes, nothing buzzing underneath — which is exactly what the more revealing earphones need to show what they can do.

You can switch its amp between two modes: one that prioritises the purest sound, one that trades a little of that for longer battery. It runs full Android, so your apps just work, and it has the outputs to connect to almost anything. The sound stays neutral and honest — it doesn't add its own flavour, it lets the earphone speak.

Our take

 

A cleaner, more refined player for when the earphone deserves a proper source — quiet background, honest sound, plenty of power.

 

What it'll drive :

Comfortably drives every earphone in the lineup with power to spare.
But raw power isn't really the point here — the cheaper R4 actually pushes out more watts. What the R6 III gives you instead is a cleaner source: a quieter background and finer detail. That matters most for the sensitive and revealing sets. Letshuoer Mystic8, which can hiss on a noisy source, sits dead silent here. And the detailed sets like the Mega5EST reward the extra clarity with more space and nuance.

If you've got a resolving earphone and want to hear all of it, this is the better match.

Streaming & compatibility

 

Open Android 12 with system-wide bit-perfect audio, so streaming apps run properly and at full quality — Apple Music, Tidal, Spotify, Qobuz, YouTube Music.
The same honest caveat applies: Apple Music on Android won't go fully bit-perfect, so Tidal or Qobuz are the picks if you want the absolute best.

Beyond headphones, it has the connections to be the hub of a setup: a line-out and a coaxial digital output to feed a bigger system, plus USB DAC mode for your laptop and two-way Bluetooth.

It also has genuinely good built-in tuning tools if you like to tweak — a full EQ and Hiby's slider-based sound adjustments — that work across every app, not just the music player.

Power & Battery

Two headphone outputs: 125 mW from the 3.5 mm, 405 mW from the balanced 4.4 mm — ample for any earphone here. The amp switches between Class A (the best sound) and Class AB (longer runtime), so you choose.

The 4500 mAh battery is genuinely good for a player this capable — up to around 13 hours single-ended, closer to 11 on balanced, and it takes about two hours to fully charge with 18 W fast charging.

Distortion is vanishingly low and the noise floor is very quiet, which is the whole reason to reach for this over something cheaper.
