#REVIEW OF PROPLAYER FOR ANDROID PRO#
I personally think that M3 Pro looks a lot more expensive than its price and can be considered as idea continuation of iPod Nano model (before it has become really small), it is pleasant to hold the player in hand. Considering with well-working deep sleep mode this player is good for trips and everyday use. Playback time is really well here - you have to charge player for around 1 hour 50 minutes and it can play for around 13 to 16 hours (well depends on volume level and headphones). So M3 Pro has everything to become a good transport. On the bottom side there is a 3.5mm headphone output that can be used as line out, microphone projection (yes, we have voice recorder here) and USB-C connector that is really universal: charging, access to card memory, digital out, usage of M3 Pro as USB DAC. This side also has MicroSD slot since M3 Pro doesn’t have it’s own memory, but it reads any card without a problem. Those who like ‘blind operations’ are lucky too, since there are four buttons on the left side: power on, play/pause and two volume buttons and they traditionally can switch tracks on long presses. Display reacts well to presses and gestures, you just have to get used to them and to pressing the back button precisely. I’ve liked how black color is transmitted, if you watch it perpendicularly it seems like it is really drawn on the front panel since you won’t see transition to front panel borders.
Colors and viewing angles are okay and brightness is enough for screen to stay visible under direct sunlight. Screen occupies the most of the front part and it has a resolution of 340 x 800 that is really good for budget offering.
And another thought - to see this model in different colors, but this again will be dependent on model popularity. I’d like FiiO to take this into account and use similar design for their future flagship players. It has compact and well built body of black aluminum that has rounded angles and considering back panel and screen I can say that the player really looks better than the most models of middle segment. We miss a basic pouch here, but I’m sure that there will be plenty of 3rd-party offerings on AliExpress, but this will mainly depend on how popular M3 Pro will be.Īppearance of player is really great. And it can’t be said about the accessory range, since apart from player and paperwork you just get a USB-C cable for charging and data transfer. The box is expectedly made in minimalist style however black color and good printing quality shows that designer have just followed reasonable economy. Supported resolution: up to 384 kHz/24 bit, DSD up to DSD128.Format support: DSD, APE, FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, MP3, OGG, WMA, AAC.It is pleasant that the price tag has remained the same and M3 Pro currently costs around 80 USD (local price may depend on taxes). As a spoiler I can say that the newcomer is a giant step forward. The fresh attempt that has received ‘pro’ prefix has become slightly smaller but is still closer to the second revision, and it is well understood since there is a lot under the hood: ES9218P as DAC, large touchscreen and battery. The next (and more successful in terms of sales) M3K model has got bigger size but has had firmware on par with other company products. M3 that has been released several years ago has offered great playback time, compact size and rather pleasant sound, although programming limits that have been imposed by using a certain platform prevented it from becoming a bestseller. This is not the first time FiiO tries to occupy the segment. This is why release of new M3 Pro has become one of the most interesting events. Interesting, but it is not so easy to create good budget devices - you have to do really a lot for relatively small money. FiiO developers continue their attempts to conquer the budget-friendly segment of players that is well occupied by many secondary Chinese companies, and luckily many of top companies on this market do not want to dive deep into this price tag.
