Evaluation text

, as a major domestic audio product manufacturer, Feiao's rapid development is obvious to all. It has completely expanded from a player manufacturer to a full category manufacturer of portable audio products. Its products involve players, earphones, decoding earphones, pure earphones, wires, accessories and other aspects. Its tentacles also extend to the field of desktop playback equipment. The author has mentioned many times that there is a slight "Feiao plot", because the first HIFI product purchased by the author at that time came from Feiao's family, but later I was ashamed. Although I have been paying close attention to the upgrading of Feiao products, I seldom have the opportunity to have more in-depth contact with his family's products. I didn't have the opportunity to get to know this old friend again until the studio was established, this time Feiao sent us the flagship product M11 PRO among their portable players. Let's have a look.

Optional color matching

M11 PRO is only one color.

is relatively stable, and black is also the background color that some large factories like to use. The upper part of the front is printed with a small gold logo of HI-RES and HI-RES AUDIO WIRELESS.

M11 PRO accessories include:

1. One USB cable.

2. One coaxial adapter line.

the size of M11 PRO is 130mm x 70.5mm x 16.5mm, the length is a little longer than IPHONE SE, and the width and thickness are larger than IPHONE SE, but compared with the earlier high-end domestic players, M11 PRO is already relatively small. if we continue to use "national brick" to call him, I think it is not very appropriate.

In terms of configuration, M11 PRO uses 2 AK4497EQ decoding chips to support DSD256 hard knot and MQA. The earpiece adopts THX AAA-78X2 fully balanced architecture. The body has 64GB of storage space, which supports the expansion of a single TF card and supports up to 2TB. Bluetooth output supports almost all common protocols in the market, including Huawei's HWA, and also supports Bluetooth input, the protocols supported by Bluetooth input include SBC and LDAC.

player body is not clearly stated by the official. From the hand feeling, it should be made of aviation aluminum. The body is designed with double-sided glass, which helps to improve the aesthetics. This also reminds me of the iPhone 4 of that year. However, double-sided glass also has its disadvantages, that is, it is fragile. It is suggested to purchase a protective cover or storage bag when purchasing the machine. Feiao official also mentioned that the front and, the light transmittance will be better, and it is not easy to leave fingerprints. The back cover also uses PET coating technology. The author experiences smooth touch. All the lines on the body of the player are composed of straight lines, which is very sharp, but it has a slight cutting feel, and the overall black style is calm and atmospheric. The player has excellent workmanship and better weight control.

body is very simple, with only one power key, which has a breathing light and is displayed in blue when charging.

The right side of the fuselage is smooth and has only one TF card slot.

The left side of the fuselage is distributed from left to right as shown in the figure above: Play/Pause, Volume Wheel, Previous/Fast Forward, Next/Fast Rewind. The lowest part also has a "PRO" made of gold-plated nickel sheet, which indicates its identity as an upgraded version of M11. The font has a more design sense and can also echo the volume wheel.

fuselage is 4.4mm balance interface, 2.5mm balance interface, QC2.0 interface and 3.5mm single-ended interface respectively.

full-screen mobile phones are currently the mainstream in the market, and full-screen devices are gradually beginning to appear in the Android player market. M11 PRO is one of them. It is equipped with a 5.15-inch full-screen screen with a screen ratio of 86%,10 touch points, 1440 × 720 resolution, 312 PPI, full color and good fineness. M11 PRO is equipped with a Samsung Exynos 7872 CPU, which has the same performance as Qualcomm's 625, 3GB of operating memory, Android 7.0 system, supports full screen gestures, and feels smooth to use. At the same time, it also supports switching to pure sound system, bringing better listening experience. WIFI can support 2.4G and 5G frequency bands, M11 PRO also supports FIIO LINK function, and only Feiao Music APP needs to be installed, it can be a wireless remote control player, which supports the operation and synchronous display of common songs. In addition, it can also use DLNA, AIRPLAY,WIFI and other functions to spread songs. If you have a speaker in your home, you can also use M11 PRO as a USB DAC for decoding. Of course, he can also be used as a turntable device to connect other decoding earphones. Other functions such as EQ adjustment will not be repeated here. Friends who have the opportunity to experience can play with them carefully and have very comprehensive functions.

Endurance:

M11 PRO is 4370mAH. The official said that the battery life is about 9.5 hours. The actual test by the author is 9 hours, which is not much different from the official description. Fully fully charged and measured for about 2 hours. The machine heats up slightly during use.

Startup time, control and grip:

M11 PRO is about 15 seconds, which can only be used as a reference, because the author does not have many applications installed in this device, and the startup time may increase after more applications are installed. As for the operation logic, there is no need to describe too much. Everyone should be very clear when using Android phones. Unfortunately, it does not support double-clicking the wake-up screen. I hope this function can be added to the later upgrade system.

In terms of grip, the width and thickness of M11 PRO are all appropriate, the weight of 232g is also within the normal range, there is no problem in one-handed operation, and the grip feeling is excellent.

sound quality evaluation

: The sound quality evaluation part is based on the basic quality of headphones. Due to individual differences among listeners, the following contents are for reference only.

scoring system: The front-end (player, decoding earpiece and other equipment) is evaluated. We selected SONY EX1000, a classic moving coil earphone with neutral sound, less sound and high potential, as a fixed test earphone, to score the front-end and comment on the listening feeling concisely and intuitively. The front-end attribute scores are obtained by referring to a variety of front-ends of the same grade as the tested front-end. As the listening sense is briefly evaluated as a written description, there is a situation that cannot be accurately described. The headphone official suggests that the front-end score be the main listening sense comment as a supplement for reference. (The words used to describe the degree in the hearing comment are all compared with the same grade. By default, the earplugs use standard ordinary silicone sleeves, and all front ends are in low gain mode and use single-ended connection)

evaluation equipment

Front-end: ZX100, ZX100 + PHA3, HM901S, M11 PRO

headphones: SONY MDR-EX1000

Audio format: FLAC.

Evaluation Track

Popular: Jiangnan-Lin Junjie, Kite-Stefanie Sun, Ferry-Cai Qin

Rock: Sunburn-Muse

String: Carmen Fantasia-Mutter

Symphony: Voltava River-Kuberic

audition tracks include popular male voices, female voices, rock music, small orchestration strings, and large orchestration symphonies, which basically cover most of the daily music types. You can test the headphones and players for high frequency (the high-pitched part of the sound) and low frequency (The bass part of the sound such as drums), human voice, and analysis (the ability to restore the sound, it is equivalent to the resolution of the image), the sound field (the sense of space of the sound) and the positioning, the degree of separation (different sound mixing, the higher the degree of separation, the better the performance level, and vice versa) and other main properties.

Listening

high frequency:high frequency is transparent and bright. Matching with EX1000 can make the line feel clearer, and its strength and extension are slightly better than HM901S, but it is not particularly obvious. The high frequency of EX1000 under M11 PRO is relatively compact and powerful.

vocals:the vocal distance is moderate, the vocal knot has a clear mouth shape, is relatively smooth and the emotion is relatively abundant. The EX1000 under M11 PRO is relatively neutral for both men and women, the density is better than HM901S, and the graininess is more obvious, but it is still within a relatively comfortable range and does not affect the smoothness.

Low frequency:the amount of low frequency is relatively neutral, no more, no less, and does not show a strong sense of atmosphere, but it performs better in transient, rebound and cohesion, which is slightly better than HM901S. with EX1000, the momentum is not very strong, but the balance point between atmosphere sense and cohesion is found well. the low frequency sense of EX1000 itself is not small, which is commensurate with M11 PRO, compared with the front end of PHA3, which is obviously warm, it is less greasy and lighter than HM901S.

Analysis:performed well, similar to HM901S. At this price, it should belong to the upper-middle level.

sound field and degree of separation:is better than HM901S. The sound field is mainly wider in the horizontal direction. With the help of good density and clear junction, the gap feeling is more obvious.

Other aspects:the sound density is relatively high, the whole is relatively clean and transparent, relatively balanced, the thrust is larger, and the dynamic transient is good, but compared with the two, the dynamic level is still slightly lower than the transient level.

balanced mouth hearing (using headphones is Sennheiser IE800S, the difference between 4.4 and 2.5 is not obvious, so it is described together)

the sound quality improvement of the two balance ports can be obviously felt, but the improvement is not as large as the author expected. The overall density, high-frequency extension and low-frequency rebound speed are all slightly improved. In addition, the overall dynamic level is better, the fluctuation in symphony is greater, and the sense of space is better.

overall evaluation

M11 PRO deserves praise. First of all, in terms of usage experience and functional support, it is impossible to double-click the wake-up screen to slightly affect the convenience of use. There are almost no faults in other places. Whether it is the comprehensiveness of workmanship or functional details, it is in the leading position in the market. The playing methods are various and can be described as comprehensive. In terms of sound quality, under the condition of such a pile of functions and hardware, the author always feels that his quality may be mediocre subconsciously, but as soon as he opens his voice, the author finds that it should be better than HM901S. after careful evaluation and comparison, this is also confirmed. In terms of tuning, thrust and equipment matching, most earplugs, M11 PRO can be well controlled, especially suitable for matching earphones with slightly off-plate. However, it is not recommended to use M11 PRO with headphones with obviously off-plate. The sound will appear relatively thin. In addition, its sound is not particularly atmospheric or digital. In general, M11 PRO is a player product worth recommending at this price and is very competitive.
