If you're hankering for the days when you'd take your trusty old MP3 player everywhere you went, your prayers may just have been answered.
FiiO's sub-brand Snowsky has revealed the new Echo Nano, a dinky portable music player that harks back to the iconic MP3 players of the 2000s.
Designed for music lovers seeking a dedicated listening experience without the interruption of pesky apps, the dinky new player uses a Cirrus Logic CS43131 DAC, offering support for various file formats such as WAV, FLAC, MP3 and MQA.
The player's internal storage can be bolstered by a microSD card up to 256GB, all while delivering up to seven hours of battery life on a single charge.
Weighing in at around 34 grams, the Echo Nano is constructed using a machined aluminium-magnesium alloy. A metal scroll wheel aims for seamless user navigation, complemented by a 1-inch OLED screen.
Snowsky's pocket-sized portable player can also function as a USB DAC, and can be used to give your smartphones or laptop a sonic boost when listening via wired headphones.
On the subject of headphones, Snowsky has also unveiled a new pair of wireless cans alongside the Echo Nano. The new Snowsky Nature house a set of 50mm dynamic drivers within a nature-inspired design, with Snowsky promising a pair of over-ears "intended to reconnect listeners with the emotional experience of their music".
If you're all about the retro revival, the Snowsky Echo Nano is available now in seven distinct colourways, priced at £55 / $50. The Nature headphones are also on the market, priced at £39 / $ 39.
