As someone who spends hours at the gym, I needed a reliable music player that could keep up with my routine. The Oilsky MP3 Player has been a game-changer for me.

The setup was surprisingly easy - coming from an iPod background, I appreciated how straightforward Android 13 made everything. The moment I transferred my first playlist via the removable SD card (after learning not to format it as internal storage!), I knew this was different.

What really stands out is the versatility. One morning I'm streaming Spotify during cardio, the next I'm watching workout tutorials on YouTube during rest periods. The 4.7" screen is crisp enough to follow along with exercise videos without squinting.

The Bluetooth connectivity has been rock solid with my wireless earbuds - no annoying dropouts mid-squat like I experienced with cheaper players. And when I forget my earbuds? The built-in speakers actually deliver decent sound for quick water breaks.

Battery life has been impressive for my 2-hour daily sessions. I've learned to fully power it down between workouts (hold that power button!), and it barely loses any charge over several days.

Is it perfect? The interface takes some getting used to if you're coming from Apple's ecosystem, and the included case feels a bit cheap. But for under $100, this little powerhouse has become as essential to my gym bag as my protein shaker.
