is small and comprehensive! Experience feiao M3 Pro

, although for well-known reasons, this year's new semester started almost 3 months late. In the early summer of June, students must have started school one after another. Every school season, everyone has to make some purchases. Feiao recently launched an entry-level portable music player for students/music lovers -- M3 Pro. As an upgraded version of the previous M3K, M3 Pro has not only made a big upgrade in the parts related to sound quality, but also added some practical functions that they will use daily for the student groups it locates.

is small, the screen is not small.

is a music player, the M3 Pro is really small. The circumference of 95.8mm × 45.4mm × 10.4mm is not much larger than that of your portable Bluetooth ears. With a weight of about 70g, you can easily hold it in your hand and carry it in your underwear pocket without any sense of existence. Unlike ordinary entry-level music players, which mostly use small-size screens, M3 Pro's "body" is not big, but it still follows the trend and adopts a "full screen" close to the length and width of the body ". Although the screen ratio cannot be compared with the full screen on the mobile phone, it is already rare in similar products. Compared with the 2.0 inch and 320 × 240 screen specifications of M3K, the 3.5 inch and 800 × 340 resolution screen specifications are not small.

The M3 Pro is black as a whole, and the borders and corners are transitioned to a 3D curved surface. The grip is warm and moist. The metal body frame ensures the texture of the product, and the highlighting process applied to the back does not compromise the visual effect. Although Feiao did not prepare a protective case such as a clear water cover for M3 Pro, the front and rear protective films that have been pasted when it leaves the factory can still be used by users in daily life.

M3 Pro are concentrated in the upper part of the left side of the body, including four circular keys, which are used to realize the functions of on/off/sleep wake-up, volume adjustment, up/down bending, and play/pause. There are small bumps on the buttons that control playback/pause to help users locate during blind operations. This key layout is more convenient to operate when held with the left hand, and can be operated with the thumb. There is a TF card slot at the lower position on the same side. M3 Pro has no built-in storage space. Users need to bring their own TF card, which supports 2TB capacity expansion at most.

▲ There are 4 control buttons on the left side of the fuselage, and the small bumps on the play/pause button are used to help locate the position. M3 Pro does not have its own storage space, and users expand through the TF card slot on this side.

body and a USB Type-C interface in the center. In addition to charging and transmitting data, USB DAC and USB Audio functions can also be realized. Connect it to the notebook computer of Windows 10 system, the default storage mode can be directly recognized. Switching to DAC mode in system settings can also be used without installing drivers. M3 Pro can also be directly connected to Android mobile phones through OTG lines to realize data mutual transmission.

▲ The bottom side of the body is a 3.5mm audio output interface. The central USB Type-C interface can not only charge and transmit data, but also realize USB DAC and USB Audio functions.

music playing, it has these practical functions.

Feiao adopted the original software system on M3 Pro, and the style from the lock screen interface to the desktop icon should be developed based on Android. At the same time, it is also optimized in UI design with the small size of M3 Pro. The main interface icon is large. The eight icons include all the functions of M3 Pro-music playing, recording, e-book, calculator and gallery. Pulling down from the top of the screen can also bring up a drop-down menu, providing music playback control, screen brightness adjustment, calculator and e-book function icons. M3K was launched as a "student-specific player" that year. Its functions are mainly recording and A- B repetition for students' application needs. As its professional upgrade, the functions of M3 Pro have been further increased. In addition to retaining the recording function, the newly added functions such as e-books, calculators and gallery are all practical functions that student users can use when they do not have a mobile phone or when the mobile phone is not around.

▲ M3 Pro has passed the Hi-Res Audio certification, and you can see the eye-catching small gold mark on the back. Its back and screen are already covered with film when it leaves the factory, and users can use it with confidence.

The recording function is based on its built-in high-definition microphone, supports MP3/WAV recording files in two formats, and supports 48kHz/16bit specifications. It is suitable for students to record the content of the teacher's lecture in class, so as to find out the leakage and fill the vacancy after class. It is worth mentioning that at first M3 Pro did not provide the A- B repetition function on the previous M3K, but after updating the FW1.0.0 firmware, it added this function. The calculator has a 10-bit digital display, which can realize the operation of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of 100 categories, and can meet the conventional calculation requirements. The e-book function of M3 Pro currently supports TXT files, which can realize operations such as sliding screen and page turning, font size adjustment, etc. When the font is adjusted to medium size, I think the full screen content and text fineness are good.

▲ The optimized system interface based on the characteristics of M3 Pro. The large icon is easy to click and the function is clear at a glance.

The M3 Pro screen supports touch operation without virtual keys, so the operation logic is relatively simple. In addition to basic click, common functions such as returning to the previous level, batch operation, and drop-down menu are all implemented by gesture sliding. Although the response speed when operating the screen cannot be compared with the product with higher positioning, the overall response speed is not bad, and the click operation is better than the sliding operation experience. One suggestion is that after entering various functions, the icon of "Return to Desktop" in the upper left corner is somewhat small. Although it can also be returned to the desktop by sliding operation, I prefer to click on the operation. At this time, the smaller icon is sometimes inaccurate.

▲ The playback page displays information such as the cover and specifications. You can also select the playback mode, add favorites, and adjust EQ.

▲ Using M3 Pro to read e-books, the precision of font display is not bad, and users can adjust the brightness and font size.

audition experience

In terms of hardware configuration, M3 Pro uses Junzheng X1000/E master control, and DAC chip uses ESS ES9218P, which not only supports DSD128 in USB DAC, but also provides USB Audio, which is an improvement over M3K. At the same time, its support for music formats is also very complete. In addition to DSD, other common music formats can basically be supported.

I used Feiao's FH1s headphones to match M3 Pro for audition. The hard quality of M3 Pro is not disappointing. Compared with the previous work, the output power can give full play to the sound characteristics of FH1s. Its sound bottom is clean and clear, and its resolution is above the standard. The mid-frequency human voice is full of emotion, can present a three-dimensional knot of contours, the sound is not obvious, and the sound is restored to nature. High frequency can produce a clear and bright sense of hearing, but there will be no irritation, and the sound has certain extensibility. The focus of low frequency is elasticity. The sound of "bang bang bang" is very solid and the sense of quantity is moderate. In the restoration of sound field, the earphone under M3 Pro shows the effect of having a certain vertical space and a slight shortage of horizontal space.

is written at the end.

although feiao has recently launched flagship products in player and earphone product lines, it still has not forgotten the consumers in the entry-level market. After the launch of M3K for the student market segment and its success, the emergence of M3 Pro represents its continuous hard work in this market, with stronger performance and more targeted functions. Feiao provides a better experience for the target population on M3 Pro. As a portable music player, its good sound quality can also meet the needs of students and entry-level users for listening.
