I was under the impression that the nw-a306 walkmans supported sd cards. Granted, those are $300 so they’re out of your budget.

I’ve personally been using a Hisense Touch as my music player for the past year, which is a handheld e-ink device that runs Android, but I don’t know if that would work for you — it’s imported from China, the default interface is kind of bad, and the e-ink screen is one of the key selling points. But it’s got a headphone jack (I mostly use wireless earbuds though), it runs Android so it’s pretty customizable in terms of interface/music apps, and I read on it practically daily. The device itself feels solid enough to me, but I don’t think it’s waterproofed.

There was a mostly equivalent device (Boox Palma) that was actually released properly in the US, but at this point you would have to want to use whatever you get as an ereader, since if you’re just interested in music, repurposing an Android phone is cheaper. I think if you get an older android flagship like a google pixel, it’ll probably feel fine in terms of build quality tbh
