Article updated on February 8, 2023 – We have added two new high-quality models: AfterShokz OpenRun and Mighty Vibe,
Little by little, platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music and more recently YouTube Music, among others, have made their way onto the market, and they already have huge catalogs in which there is practically everything, although via subscription, of course.
Despite the facilities that exist, nowadays there is still a group of irreducibles who prefer the MP3 players of a lifetimephysical and with music transferred from a computer, although evidently the variety has plummeted in recent years.
There are those who, if the player has Bluetooth, also use wireless headphones, although it is far from common.

Luckily there are brands such as Sony that continue to bet on this market, so there are still models for sale with good prices.
We have chosen some of those MP3 players that you can buy right now with prices starting at 20 euros up to almost 200.

We start with the most basic model of all, and also the cheapest of all that we have found.

It comes with sports headphones included, wired, so you won’t be able to connect wireless headphones to it.
SPC Sparrow

It also has an FM radio, although the storage remains at 8GB, which may vary little depending on the case.

Enery Sistem has other models that are quite different from the previous one, and one of them is this clip format with an arm band, designed mainly for athletes.
It is also a very affordable model and has free shipping. Its features are similar to those of almost all players right now, although yes, it goes to 16GB of storage.

It is from SanDisk, a well-known brand, especially for its storage formats such as microSD or flash drives.
It has free shipping by Amazon and also Bluetooth.
Sony NWE394B CEW
Sony NWE394B CEW
Sony launched the legendary Walkman a few decades ago and continues to use it, although for quite different products, such as its MP3 players with a screen.
In this case, remember the Sony NWE a lot to the iPod Touch, clearly saving distances. It has a music player, a photo player, a radio player and also Bluetooth.
Of course, its price is much higher than that of other alternatives.
Sony NWWS623 Walkman
Sony NWWS623 Walkman
This is another of the Sony Walkman products, although it is very different from the previous one since it goes to the 2-in-1 format: headphones and MP3 together and in a sports format.
They are waterproof, so you can take it for a run, in the rain and without worrying about sweat.
The price, like the previous model, is not affordable.
Mighty Vibe
Mighty Vibe
This is one of the most complete and current players, although this has a strong impact on the price, which is practically 200 euros.
The novelty is that in its case it does have a connection to Spotify and Amazon Music, so you can listen to podcasts and music online without having to download it first in MP3 format, something that today many people simply don’t know how to do.
Of course, you can download the files and listen to them independently from the mobile, that would be more.
Aftershokz
AfterShokz OpenRun
AfterShokz sells several MP3 models that come with built-in headphones, and in addition to bone conduction, which you can even use underwater in some cases, not the OpenRun that we mention here, which as the name suggests are designed for runners.
They have Bluetooth 5.1, a standard that makes their connection more stable and also has a longer battery life, because obviously nobody wants to run out of battery in the middle of a workout.
It is true that bone conduction sound is different from what we are used to and requires some adaptation, but they are undoubtedly quite comfortable.
