FIIO M3 PRO PLAYER REVIEW — THE BEST FROM THE SMALLER ONES

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. Interesting, but it is not so easy to create good budget devices — you have to do really a lot for relatively small money. This is why release of new M3 Pro has become one of the most interesting events.

This is not the first time FiiO tries to occupy the segment. 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. 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.

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. As a spoiler I can say that the newcomer is a giant step forward. 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).
