Hey everyone. I'm about to get the Echo Mini and I'm wondering what is the best option (cheapest, but also more ligit) place to buy it. I see that AliExpress has them, but I'm a bit in doubt if it's trustworthy. (I live in the Netherlands, if that helps with the recommendations). Thank you in advance for the replies!

  • On AliExpress you have the official Fiio store, no problem, I got mine there and it was a great price.

  • aliexpress is very trustworthy, and a great place for niche tech. Just check a few basic things like if the price is at least realistic, if the seller has a lot of sales and reviews. stuff like that

  • Buy from official Fiio audio store in aliexpress then no need to worry.

  • After I bought mine in Vietnam, I looked around the web to see if I had been overcharged or undercharged. What I found is consistent pricing everywhere. Fiio is smart.

  • It was $45 on Amazon a couple weeks ago. That's when I got it haha AliExpress funny enough was more expensive but that may be because I wasn't a first time customer so maybe look into taking advantage of that deal?

  • AliExpress because I live beside .....

    You check your e-commerce platforms if is cheaper?

  • Also they have the new player you might consider, it looks like a little CD player that has either just been released on is on the cusp, might want to look at that as well as a alternative.

  • I’d try secondhand platforms also. In Spain we have Wallapop and Vinted. I found mine almost new for 40€

  • Do you all shop on AliExpress too? A lot of their stuff actually looks really good, so I grabbed a few extra promo codes and ordering feels like a pretty good deal right now. I’m happy to share the extra codes if anyone wants them, although I’m not totally sure if they only work in the US.
