Audio Gear I'd Actually Buy During 11.11 and Black Friday Sales

We already know that the HiBy R1 with custom firmware is one of the best bargains for sub $100 DAPs on the market. The thing is, not everyone wants the R1, or has the money for it. So, what about a similar budget DAP in the extremely popular Fiio Snowsky Echo Mini? If you're new to the audio hobby, you need to understand that 11.11 is the Chinese equivalent to Black Friday, where shops like AliExpress have their biggest sales of the year. That's where we're at right now. So, I figured I'd do something different for this video, where I'm looking through audio gear I actually own and have paid for myself, that if I lost it or it broke, I'd buy it again during the year's biggest sales events without a second thought. No sponsors telling me what to sell to you. No freebies. All gear I own and use on a regular basis just about every day.
