Original: Enter the kitchen under the hall; Feiao X5 3rd generation impression

Feiao X5K (X5 II) has excellent sound quality, convenient and easy-to-use flywheel keys, diversified output modes, and its "deep sleep immediate wake-up" design left a very good impression on me. However, in this era of intelligence, X5K always makes people feel that there is something missing. For example, it is impossible to play wireless playback, to use the real massive music library on the network, and although flywheel operation is very convenient, it is still impossible to have a touch screen more intuitive and easy to use. Perhaps Feiao also feels the same way. Not long ago, Feiao almost suddenly released an upgraded version of X5K, X5 3rd generation, and the changes of 3rd generation can be described as almost completely reborn: except for the same excellent sound quality playback, 3rd generation uses an intelligent system based on Android 5.1, uses touch screen, and fully supports Wifi and Bluetooth Apt-X, the new volume control-light is enough to make all fans ecstatic. The advantages of using Android systems are self-evident, and Feiao already has experience in simplifying/optimizing Android systems (flagship X7 is based on Android), which makes people feel more confident in Feiao X5. Jingdong's first X5 third generation sales are a proof. However, using an open source system also has its disadvantages, that is, the power consumption will increase, Android the rogue software on the system will also seriously affect the user experience-if the user uses it improperly. However, on the whole, the advantages of using intelligent systems far outweigh the disadvantages. For example, it can easily realize the on-demand of network music library, the wireless transmission of Bluetooth Apt-X (currently it is still the highest-end Bluetooth sound quality specification), the downloading and management of users' preference for music, and the Wifi transmission of user data, etc. Next, let's play with Feiao X5 from the distance.

Except for screenshots, all photos were taken by Meizu PRO5. This is also a feature of the intelligent era, right?

entering the system interface is the familiar interface of the Android system. It uses three virtual keys from the native system. Because the X5 3rd generation is, after all, a music player rather than a mobile phone, this design is still the most pragmatic. The X5 third generation uses Ruixin Micro RK3188 master control, with 1GB of memory and 32GB ROM built in (26GB available for users). This configuration is enough for a music player, especially when it supports dual TF expansion, it also has 32GB of flash memory space, which is especially worthy of appreciation. Regarding 1GB of memory, in fact, many TV boxes also use this capacity of memory. That is to say, the normal video-on-demand 1GB memory can be easily competent, not to mention the X5 third generation is just a music player. Since the Android operating system is used, the X5 3rd generation certainly supports the installation of third-party software. However, I suggest here to install only apps related to music playing. The first consideration is that there are too many rogue software buckets on the Android. I have installed my favorite NetEase Cloud Music and two other local playback software that I * use most frequently, Maple Leaf Player and Folder Player. My own lossless music is placed on Baidu's Internet disk, which must be installed. In addition to the convenience of file sharing, Baidu Internet disk can use its "Flash Express" function to easily transmit data with mobile phones, which can save users a lot of time and trouble. It transmits data via Wifi, much faster than Bluetooth. When I used Meizu PRO5 to transmit music to it, the speed was basically 3-5M per second, which was not bad.

Several commonly used control keys are on the left side of the machine. Above is play/pause, in the middle is the volume scroll key, and below is the previous/next key. The most worth mentioning is this volume wheel key. It feels excellent, convenient for blind operation, and can be quickly adjusted on the screen when adjusting the volume.

machine is a 3.5mm earplug hole with a 2.5mm * scale output (I have no relevant equipment on my hand and cannot test it. According to the data, it should be possible to obtain a fresher sound quality and separation degree), a MicroUSB port (it would be better if Type C can be used), and a port that supports line output/coaxial. Feiao X3 supports coaxial output. When X5K was launched, they also specially designed and produced a 3.5mm coaxial line. On the X5 third generation, a short patch cord was supplied from the factory. Its USB side also supports being used as a computer USB sound card. It can be said that the output mode of X5 generation is enough to meet most of the needs of users.

X5 3rd generation also retains the design of dual TF card expansion, which is very gratifying. On the basis of X5K, it also draws on the design of the mobile phone TF expansion slot to make the machine more beautiful and dustproof.

power key is on the side of the machine. This is also the most mentioned Feiao Little Red Circle in media reviews. The indicator light in the center of it is always on in the standby state. Although this power consumption is very small, I still reserve my personal opinion on this design.

Feiao's walkman usually leaves the factory with protective film. You can see Lai Fei's proud love plane complex. : p but I am a streaker, and my mobile phone is streaking all the time. The feel of streaking cannot be replaced by any film or sleeve. The X5 3rd generation also contains a silicone sleeve and leather sleeve. The feel and texture of the silicone sleeve are very good. Users basically don't need to buy separately. Look at the comparison with X5K.

Feiao X5 generation has directly quoted the now very popular and mature designs, such as fast charging. Moreover, it supports high-energy and dual fast charging of MediaTek at the same time. Users can conveniently use the fast charging charger of mobile phones to charge the X5 3rd generation. The domestic version is also equipped with a fast charging charger. Compared with some domestic mobile phone manufacturers that support fast charging but do not give users the original fast charging charger, Feiao is quite kind.

The original data cable of X5 generation. It can be seen that the wire is thick and the workmanship is also very reassuring.

Feiao introduced a Bluetooth remote controller before the X5 generation, which supports all Android devices. This configuration and layout should have been premeditated, right? :P

rover's several popular speakers, S1000 and Bluetooth flagship M7, support Bluetooth coaxial (M7 does not have coaxial) and other sets of inputs, and are the best partners of Feiao Walkman. If it is used in a fixed combination, I suggest using coaxial connection to obtain the best results. I used several Meizu earplugs and Feiao's own * price * earplugs during the audition, and the sound quality was already very satisfactory. In fact, most music does not need EQ compensation or the viper sound effect at all, and the native effect is already very good. The bass is extremely elastic, freely retractable, and the intermediate frequency density is very solid and pleasing to the ear. High frequency is as delicate as silk. I believe Feiao X7 has better sound quality, but if your attention is really on the music itself, the sound quality of X5 II and III can already cope with all kinds of music genres.

, let's look at a set of screenshots of the most convincing system interfaces and settings. Feiao provides all the settings that a medium and high-end music player should have. On Android basis, it also provides a "pure tone mode" in which any interference that may be caused by Android can be eliminated. The switch between the two is a soft switch, which is very convenient soon. Switching between line output and coaxial output is also very convenient, which is a huge improvement for X5K.

music app is NetEase Cloud Music. No problem on the X5 3rd generation. However, Feiao still needs to optimize the latest version of NetEase Cloud Music to solve some minor problems. For example, the playback progress bar cannot be synchronized. But these can be solved by software.

This is the interface of maple leaf player and folder music player. The former supports one-click advance/retreat for 5 seconds and AB replay, and is a good helper for learning English. The latter supports the continuation of the breakpoint of each folder, which is also very practical. For example, folder A is music, folder B is English lectures, folder C is Guo Degang, and folder D is a series of novels that children listen to. This software can remember breakpoints for each folder to continue broadcasting. It is a good software that can change life and supports almost countless folders. It also supports clicking in/out for 5 seconds (can be set). Highly recommended.

Feiao X5 has built a software market in the third generation, which is full of apps that have been tested by Feiao and have no problem with compatibility. Here I suggest that you can choose not to update when it can be used, because as we all know in the Android, it is not better to update more often... :P

many people say this UV watch is cool.

The X5 third generation supports various music file formats, and all DSD ISO images are available. Of course, this is only for Feiao's own player app.

* *

the trial of Feiao X5 these days is very satisfactory. As a new product of professional audio player equipment design and manufacturer with deep qualifications, the X5 3rd generation has no need to worry about the flexibility of sound quality and output mode, and has a strong affinity for earplug matching. As for the noise that some people said on the Internet, I used my earplugs and music files to audition, and I never found it. Maybe it's just some particularly high-end earplugs or headphones that have the problem. As a player that supports intelligent systems, the X5 3rd generation has all the functions that intelligent machines should have. Convenient and powerful handling, massive network music library, user's favorite player software, wireless connection, etc. However, the use of Android systems also brings side effects, that is, the increase of standby power consumption. The instant awakening of deep sleep on Feiao X5K cannot be reproduced. This is also a small price to realize intelligence. But as a real music lover, perhaps this is nothing, not to mention the X5 three generations also support double fast charging?
