Feiao M5? From the standard clean water shell with back clip that Feiao gave it to the optional exclusive strap, it can be seen from the side. A very important part of the M5 design concept is wearable. There is no sense of disobedience in the straps of clothes, pockets or backpacks with a clear water shell. Wear it on your hand with a strap, and most people will think you are wearing a smart watch.

▲ M5 has passed the audio certification of Hi-Res Audio and Hi-Res Audio Wireless, so we can see two small gold labels engraved on the back glass with laser.

the square body, the front of the screen looks like a whole screen (there is still an obvious border after lighting), and the double-sided 2.5D full-fitting tempered glass is one of the familiar elements of Feiao player. This is an aluminum alloy CNC process for the fuselage frame. The curved waist design not only brings good visual effects, but also makes the grip and operation feel more comfortable during use. Although I received a relatively low-key all-black color matching version, M5 actually takes a colorful route in color matching. The red, blue, silver and titanium gray versions should be more appetizing for consumers who pursue individuality.

▲ Feiao comes standard with a clean water shell with a back clip for M5. In addition, users can also choose a dedicated watchband. From these accessories, it is not difficult to see that M5 has the design direction of wearable devices.

is such a mini portable music player, but it has the rich functions that are not inferior to the big brothers in its M series. A 3.5mm audio output interface can support headphones, linear and coaxial output at the same time. A two-way USB Type C interface, in addition to charging and transmitting data, also supports USB DAC, USB Audio, and can support up to 384kHz-32bit/DSD128.

▲ The 3.5mm interface at the top can support earphones, linear and coaxial output. Next to it is the volume adjustment key and power on key. Independent dual microphones are also set here and can be used for making calls and recording.

When making USB DAC with Apple computer, M5 can be drive-free, while when making USB DAC with Windows system, special drivers need to be installed. It is worth mentioning that M5 can also be connected to a mobile phone that supports OTG function. Users can directly copy music file data from the mobile phone to M5. However, it should be noted that M5 does not have its own storage space. Users need to prepare their own Micro SD card (TF card), which supports 2TB of memory card at most.

▲ Micro USB card slot and bidirectional USB Type C interface at the bottom. The former supports memory cards with a maximum capacity of 2TB, while the latter can realize various functions such as data transmission, charging, USB DAC, USB Audio, etc.

don't think that the back clip clean water shell and watchband provided by Feiao to M5 are just to make it more portable. M5 has a step counting function that allows users to really use it as a wearable device. After turning on the pedometer, it can count the user's step number information, and the user can see the latest step number on the standby interface.

However, it should be noted that the pedometer needs to be manually turned on by the user, which is mainly considered from the perspective of power saving. According to the user's use when walking or exercising, M5 can also set up functions such as raising your hand to light up the screen, double-click to wake up, etc., with thorough consideration of details. However, some functions are not supported in the default factory firmware. It is recommended that users update the latest firmware as soon as they get the machine to unlock more functions.

▲ The step counting function needs to be enabled manually, mainly from the perspective of power saving.

Two-way Bluetooth is a key feature of M5. The Qualcomm CSR8675 Bluetooth chip it uses can support the reception and transmission of Bluetooth signals at the same time. Users can either use it as a wireless music player and use it to connect a Bluetooth wireless headset to listen to music, or use it as a Bluetooth headset, connect a wired headset and receive audio signals transmitted from other Bluetooth playback devices.

▲ Bluetooth reception is a major function of M5. The portal is set on the main interface.

In terms of coding formats that many users are concerned about, it should be noted that M5 supports different types when receiving and transmitting. When used as Bluetooth earpiece, it can support most mainstream formats including high-definition audio coding formats such as aptX-HD and LDAC, while when used as Bluetooth transmitter, it cannot support aptX-HD and AAC, but at this time, the support for SBC, aptX and LDAC is believed to meet the needs of most users.

M5 has two built-in independent microphones. When it is used as a Bluetooth earpiece, users can make calls on it. When it is used as a player, it has a recording function for users to choose from. Since Bluetooth reception and local music playback are independent modes, these two functions cannot be used at the same time, which requires attention.

▲ The recording function enriches the application surface of M5

such a rich function is realized on such a small machine, the hardware configuration of M5 is naturally good. In addition to the aforementioned Qualcomm CSR8675 Bluetooth chip, M5 uses Junzheng X1000E, which is characterized by low power consumption and high performance, while DSD chip is AK4377 from AKM, which can support DSD hard solution. At the same time, M5 uses an independent multi-channel power management chip AXP192, the starting point is also to better ensure sound quality.

M5 has a screen size of 1.54 inches and a resolution of 240 × 240. Whether it is pictures or text, the display effect is very delicate. The screen supports single touch. M5 uses a Linux-based customized system. The main interface uses large icons to display different functions. As far as my actual experience is concerned, the response time and smoothness of the touch operation are no problem, and occasionally there will be a situation where the click is not in place when returning or some function key operations with smaller icons are operated.

▲ After the step counting function is enabled, the number of steps is displayed on the standby page.

to talk about the sound quality of M5, I mainly used it to connect JBL V150NC Bluetooth headset for audition, and also tried several pairs of wired headphones. No matter what kind of earphone is matched, M5 is relatively clean in terms of sound bottom. From the perspective of style, it has a more obvious mid-low frequency trend. The low frequency is thick and hierarchical, there is no lack of elasticity, and the dynamic presentation is relatively neat. Even in music with more low frequencies, there will be no muddy and chaotic hearing, and it is better controlled.

▲ On the Music Playback page, the album cover is displayed in the background.

the human voice is somewhat close to the ear, the rendering of the sound is not obvious, the details in the sound are not emphasized, and the fullness and knot image are OK. The details of the high-frequency part seem to be covered with a layer of tulle, and the edges and corners of the high-frequency part in some music are polished more rounded. For its portable or even wearable application positioning, many users should use it when going out or exercising. At this time, listening to popular, electronic and rock music, M5 is very suitable.

wireless music player, Bluetooth earphone, pedometer, tape recorder... Feiao has given the small M5 multiple identities. This kind of omnipotence makes it not a product that enthusiasts focus on, but in the broader consumer market, ordinary consumers who have various application requirements for products and want to try any function will be easily attracted by it. After all, such a fully functional product costs less than 600 yuan.
