[Feiao "Fever"] M15 Flagship Player Experience Report

1. introduction

first saw M15 at Feiao's new product launch on December 28 last year.

the Feiao press conferences that I attended in the past usually explained the key content in a few words. However, at this press conference, Mrs. Ma introduced the M15 machine alone for more than an hour, brushed dozens of PPT and several videos, full of dry goods and explosive information. From beginning to end, Feiao is declaring a message: this time we are real!

the price of this "Feiao Universe Flagship Player", as many people expected, took the price of double 4499-8998. Although it is still half a step away from 10,000 yuan, for Feiao, who has always taken the route of being close to the people, this price still reflects great determination and ambition. Previously, Feiao's products always showed a calm, stable and comprehensive attitude, and won the favor of many consumers with their extremely high degree of completion at the middle and low-end prices. It can be said that the product strength of their family is not a problem to worry about. However, when you come to the field of high-end players, facing more technical bottlenecks and strong competitors, can Feiao maintain its advantages to the end?

, with curiosity, after more than half a month of experience and audition, Eggs shared the experience of using M15 as follows.

2. experience

at the press conference, Mrs. Ma specially stressed several times: "friends who do not have enough fever, please be careful to buy M15".

this sentence is really not a bluff, because hot hands can be said to be one of the most affecting M15 experience-the huge heat generated by the AK4499EQ of the two flagship chips is difficult to eliminate on the portable system in any case. Even in winter, if it is placed in clothes pockets and bags in environments where heat dissipation is not good, the "heat" of M15 will be very obvious. Once the balls stuffed the M15 in the pocket of the down jacket and forgot to turn it off. As a result, they were sweating all over. However, on second thought, it seems that it is not impossible to use it as a warm baby with long endurance.

In addition, the experience of M15 in all aspects has continued the high level of Feiao. What impressed me most is the further optimization of the operation. In fact, the operating systems of M11 and M11PRO are quite perfect. In my opinion, there is not much room for improvement. However, on M15, the R & D team should be more thoughtful and meticulous. Since the volume adjustment of M15 uses an analog potentiometer, the volume knob is above, which makes it easier to blow up ears. Therefore, on the one hand, the engineer added volume indication to the knob and breathing light, and on the other hand, he also added a pop-up warning when the volume is too high in the software. This consideration is really valuable. In addition, in addition to the conventional buttons, a "custom button" has been added to the side of the fuselage, which can be set at will and is very flexible. In the locked screen state, you can also customize which physical keys are available. In terms of setting, karaoke playlist management and one-click positioning to the current function have been added. The optimization of various details all reflects the designer's intention.

M15 screen is a 5.15-inch 1440 × 720 full-fit 10-point touch screen, with bright colors and delicate display, so there are certain requirements for the clarity of album pictures. Strong master control ensures smooth operation, while 3GB of transportation and storage ensures a good experience of listening to songs online. Although the power consumption of the components is amazing, Feiao has equipped the M15 with a 7490 mA super-large battery this time, allowing the battery life to reach 15 hours, the standby time to 1800 hours, and supporting 21W fast charging. The actual battery life of the M15 is indeed adequate, and the standby is basically not powered off, which is extremely worry-free.

powerful configuration usually means a huge volume. M15 is well balanced at this point. Its length and width are about the same as those of a mobile phone, but it is nearly twice as thick. The round-edged design makes the grip more comfortable, and the small and flat knob will not appear too abrupt. With the blessing of Feiao's excellent workmanship, the overall impression is still very high-grade. The weight of the fuselage is 310g, which weighs a lot.

, in order to highlight the status of flagship, Feiao has also made a lot of efforts on the packaging of M15, striving to be concise and upscale. The outermost paper box is coated with a layer of color coating, which will reflect the colorful color with the change of light, which is very dazzling. What attracts more attention is the North American black walnut packaging box tailored for M15, which feels delicate and the wood grain on each box is unique. This time, the M15 is not packed and has few accessories. This is because Feiao has made a large number of accessories such as official leather case, storage box and DK1 base into a large gift bag.

apart from a lot of cold data and official instructions, judging from the personal experience during this period of time, M15 has a very comprehensive performance in all aspects except for a slightly larger calorific value, which really makes users convenient and worry-free.

3. style

press conference was over, many fans asked how the voice of the M15 was. However, this time the voice of the M15 was really not clear in a few words after listening to one ear. Adhering to the principle of responsibility, after listening for more than half a month and trying a variety of combinations, I shared my personal feelings here.

, the first thing to be sure is that even if we ignore those nearly perfect objective experiences and sound alone, M15 is also a very powerful member at this price. Whether it is quality, thrust, triple frequency or sound field and dynamics, the performance of each index is remarkable.

Feiao's products in the past two years are actually slowly moving closer to the direction of warmth and smoothness, and the sound bottom of M15 is also slightly warm. But different from some warm tunes before, the voice of M15 should be stronger and stronger, opening and closing, and there is a unique flagship spirit in it.

M15 human voice are relatively moderate, with little dyeing, strong line feeling and good density. One ear is not very catching, but slightly warmer on the basis of positive reduction. The proportion of instrumental music and human voice is basically equal, and the listening feeling is full and natural. The low-frequency sense of quantity and dive are good, the rebound speed is slow, a little hard, and it is quite satisfactory in the creation of atmosphere sense. The high frequency extends well, bright but does not scratch the ears, has less overtones, and is faster than normal musical instrument performance. The overall listening feeling is relatively clean, but it also has a little charm.

excellent dynamics and strong explosive power are the most gripping characteristics of M15 in sound. If M11PRO still has some regrets when listening to classics, then this regret has been completely made up for in M15. As small as the subtle changes in the priorities of Beethoven's "Enthusiasm Sonata", as large as the magnificent scenes in Brahms's First Symphony, can be reproduced by it more truly and accurately. And the resolution of M15 is also quite excellent in terms of 10,000 yuan level, which is enough to cope with quite complicated and difficult music. The sound field is broad but not empty, the background is dark as ink, and the positioning of the instrument is relatively accurate.

all in all, there is no doubt that the M15's voice performance is firmly in the top position. At the same price, its strength is also quite excellent. As far as the personal listening sense of the egg is concerned, the only small regret is that M15, in order to ensure better adaptability, allows the machine itself to have a more reference-level listening sense, so the personality is not so prominent, a little less lively, a little more stable. This is more of a style choice than a lack of ability. In addition, the direction of M15 opening and closing will make the sound sound more extensive and insufficient in fineness. Therefore, when listening to some emotional vocal tracks, it is best to match the earphones with enthusiastic and infectious sounds.

4. collocation

1. Earplugs

balls is a Xielantu with the upgrade line of Zefeng Athena. The intermediate frequency density is higher than the original line, and the extension at both ends is better. It is a more comprehensive sound with less dyeing. Driven by M15, Xielantu has a sound field with quite good depth and breadth, and the advantages of large dynamics have also been highlighted. A nutcracker listened to, all kinds of musical instruments one after another, each movement climax, very happy. However, since the Xielantu itself is a plug with a weak intermediate frequency, and the M15 has less dyeing, although the intermediate frequency is not concave and the density is acceptable when listening to the human voice, it will be boring without emotional rendering.

Artemis is the most satisfying stopper in this evaluation process. It can basically adapt to most common styles with M15 (probably this is the benefit of expensive?), but the three-dimensional effect of the sound field is slightly worse than that of Xielantu. When listening to the LIVE album "Du Lisha X Hong Kong Music", the majestic momentum of the symphony orchestra and the applause of the live audience have been faithfully restored in the regular sound field, but the singer's voice has not been covered up. Instead, it is on par with the band, and the whole singing process is easy. When switching to Acardo's Paganini Violin Concerto No. 2, the delicate and gorgeous characteristics of Atimis made up for a little deficiency in the fineness of M15, showing the beautiful tone of the violin incisively and vividly, and freely switching between sonorous and soft and soothing. The bright and clear tone of the triangle iron is also interspersed with it, which enriches the enjoyment of hearing.

2. Portable head wear

the two portable headsets used in this evaluation are MM400 and DT240PRO respectively, both of which surprised me. Although a single port is used, after the big ear mode is turned on, the dynamics of the two earphones have a bit of a feeling of coming on stage, the transient response is fast, there is no sloppy, and while introducing a good sound field, it also ensures Good density.

DT240 itself is a relatively unorthodozed earphone with a lighter taste. After matching with M15, the line feeling of the intermediate frequency is stronger, and some songs will not be able to stop the tooth sound. The high frequency is loud and clear, the extension is excellent, the low frequency dive is general, the overall curve is biased to medium and high, and the interpretation of instrumental music is better than that of human voice.

MM400 is sweeter in comparison, the low frequency elasticity is better, and the listening feeling will be looser. The intermediate frequency is full of emotion and good thickness. Instrumental music is no less than human voice, the tone is full and moist, and the performance of string music is particularly outstanding.

3. Big Ear

4.4 balance port is fully opened in the big ear mode, which can directly push the big ear, which is a major selling point of M15. Eggs tried several big ears at the press conference, and most of them could produce a unsatisfactory effect. Although there is still a gap with the sound of machines at the same price, it is a compromise choice. For HD800, a flagship big ear, balls are not recommended for everyone to try. After all, this guy is difficult to push even a machine well, and his actual listening feeling on M15 is still weak, and his density is even more difficult. However, big ears with lower driving threshold such as T5P and HD650 are still worth a try. The main big ear used in this evaluation is the direct push flagship D5200of Tianlong family. The problem with the 5200 original line is that the matching is not good and the sound is scattered and mushy. This time, the balls were replaced by Zefeng's black warrior to match M15, and the 4.4 balance port in big ear mode was used to push. Under this set of collocation, the problems of the 5200 itself have been greatly improved, and the intermediate frequency has added a few touches, the low frequency has better elasticity, and the hearing resistance and appeal are by going up one flight of stairs.

the egg feels that listening to the human voice can actually use the big ear mode to turn on the low gain. On the contrary, some songs will not be able to stop the tooth sound. First, I listened to a street of Lin Yilian's temptation. Although this is a very common pop song, it is somewhat fresh under the interpretation of this equipment. Instrumental music is no longer an optional vague background, but a good foil to the human voice. The saxophone at the beginning is somewhat charming, the piano accompaniment is chilly, Sandy's voice is sweet and sharp, and it is more shocking in emotional expression.

listening to Chai Xiaoxie's compilation, the high gain mode will bring better sound field and dynamics. The sound field is close to a circle, the width and depth are good, and the positioning is relatively accurate. The dynamic range is large, bringing about a magnificent level of change. The distribution of the three frequencies is relatively balanced, the extension of both ends is good, but it will not be possible to pursue the effect of "two ends warping" of ear stimulation. The intermediate frequency density is good, and both the resolution and expressive force are quite good.

5. scene

, judging from the content of the press conference, Feiao will never be satisfied with just letting M15 be an ordinary portable player. As can be seen in the video released on the spot, Feiao has set up a variety of application scenarios for M15. It can really be said that "only you can't think of it, you can't do it without it.

listening to songs through wired headsets and Bluetooth headsets, M15 also has a car mode, which can play music through the car's stereo. The base, which debuted in the Feiao product line, makes M15 a desktop companion with high color value. It can listen alone, connect a computer as USB decoding, Bluetooth decoding of a mobile phone, and serve as a turntable. After playing for a while, the balls still failed to try all the modes. It seems that this handy little guy really wants to integrate into the lives of burning friends in all directions.

6. Summary and Suggestions

M15 shows Feiao's strong strength in HiFi over the years. On the whole, it is really difficult to have a machine that can surpass it in terms of experience and sound at this price. Because it has good adaptability to different types of headphones, if you have mixed tastes and want to find a reference player that does not bother, you may as well take M15 into consideration. If you like a more personalized voice, you may as well listen to other players at the same price. If you want to talk about classical music, especially the performance of large-scale organizations, M15 is hardly a rival at the same price. The advantages of this machine are quite prominent, but there are also shortcomings. At this price, it is suggested that everyone must choose according to their own needs.
