exquisite female voice small poison flying proud X3 Mark Ⅲ

With the rapid development of smart phones and the increasing strength of mobile phone integrated decoding and amplification chips, where should a thousand-dollar player go? Feiao took out the X3 Mark III portable lossless player to express his understanding of this price product: it is exquisite appearance, balanced output, humanized operation, support for more audio formats, personalized tuning and high scalability.

X3 Mark Ⅲ is also very eye-catching, but it is estimated that the sales volume of red will be more popular with some beautiful red light.

if you want to say sorry, the screen may be slightly shabby. The resolution, visual angle and color performance are not very brilliant, and it is a horizontal screen design, resulting in some minor problems with the cover display.

the following focus to talk about the voice. As the title says, the sound quality gap between a thousand-dollar player and a smartphone is no longer an insurmountable gap. So X3 Mark III has a balanced output, which brings a significant increase in thrust and sound field performance, and a stronger resolution. In addition, after a few days of careful listening, I personally think that X3 Mark III is also a clever part in tuning, that is, there is some gain in the middle and high frequency part, which makes the female voice sound more poisonous.
different tuning will give the music a different feeling. For me who prefers female voice and ACG, such tuning will revive some tired cold palace songs I have listened to, such as KOKIA, which I have not heard for a long time. KOKIA's voice is more flexible under the expression of X3 Mark Ⅲ, while Shuangsheng's slender voice is more charming. However, this also makes it slightly worse when expressing a strong male voice. For example, Song Dongye's more vigorous bass tone will be elevated, and it will appear a little too clear and less tasty.
in terms of musical instruments, instruments in the medium and high frequency ranges will be pulled closer to the ears and become more poisonous and better, such as the ranges of violin and piano. For popular songs with violin accompaniment, the violin part becomes easier to be found by listeners. Moreover, the soft tone of the violin is also very well expressed like a female voice. When listening to the album "Suara at Seeking Way Hall", the listening feeling is even better than X7. The sound composed of Suara, violin and piano is basically within the optimization range of X3.
will not obviously feel that there are medium frequency or low frequency depressions, which is also very valuable, and all kinds of songs can be eaten.
sound field performance is better than that of mobile phones, especially under 2.5mm balanced output, the sound field is obviously much wider and can be distinguished by one ear.
to sum up, I think the sound performance of X3 Mark III will still be better than that of mobile phones. At the same time, the sound orientation will be biased to a certain extent, and I am good at female poison.

Regarding Bluetooth, supporting Bluetooth 4.0 and APT-X will be better than the SBC performance of Apple phones at this stage. However, the author's Android phone also supports APT-X after OTA upgrade, and the performance of Android phone will still be better than X3 Mark III in volume synchronization and power synchronization display.
However, the audio player does not do anything else and does not have a wifi module, so there is less interference when listening to songs using Bluetooth, especially the Bluetooth and wifi modules of today's smart phones are usually together, and there is usually interference when automatically searching wifi hotspots. This problem can be avoided by using the player, not to mention X3 Mark III, which is specially designed for interference shielding.

Another small tip is the headphone hole interface detection. For non-Android machines, this is really a very humanized design. The ZX100, which is also a non-Android machine, will continue to play until the battery is dead after unplugging the earphone, while the X3 Mark III will automatically stop when unplugging the earphone, and the screen will automatically light up after inserting the earphone in standby state, which is very powerful.

to sum up:
 The exterior design is exquisite and compact, with sufficient materials and good hand feeling, but the screen and cover display are somewhat regrettable;
 The voice performance is better than that of mobile phones, with rich interfaces, supports many audio formats, large sound fields, and the tuning style is more feminine;
 Balanced output, greatly improving machine playability and sound quality;
 The user-friendly design is in place, the button design is reasonable, and the interface detection and deep sleep wake-up are very useful;
 Bluetooth output has good sound quality and anti-interference;
Feiao X3 Mark Ⅲ has achieved remarkable results in the above performance, allowing the portable player to find its place in front of the powerful competitor of smart phones. The hot red body and balanced output design are impressive. Under the cost limit of a thousand yuan machine, no trade-off is difficult, and the performance of X3 Mark III obviously makes people feel that it is worth the money.

Feiao X3 Mark Ⅲ packing box is well printed, with a white background on the front and bright body pictures, which is simple and generous, showing that it is a young and fashionable product. The small gold label is printed directly on the packing box, which means that the player has a wide frequency response range and analysis capability.

X3 Mark Ⅲ supports Bluetooth 4.1 version and APT-X high-quality audio transmission protocols, and has a special anti-interference design, so a Bluetooth logo is specially printed on the box side.

X3 Mark Ⅲ is very beautiful. The front part except for the 5 physical buttons is a flat tempered glass panel. The operating area of the turntable with feelings is changed from mechanical to touch, which is located under the tempered glass panel.

tempered glass panel is designed with a multi-layer ring design around the central circular button. (The panel has been pasted with a high-permeability membrane when it leaves the factory. So the middle turntable operation is actually carried out on a high-permeability membrane.) This design can quickly turn pages to find songs when there are many songs in the playlist. The disadvantage is that the smooth surface often cannot stop at the position where you want to stop accurately. Therefore, the manufacturer kindly sent two frosted films, which can greatly improve the feel of the turntable operation. At the same time, the turntable operation sensitivity can also be set in the system settings.

In addition to selecting the turntable, the body has 5 physical buttons. The biggest button is the confirmation button in the middle of the body, and it also has the functions of pause and play in the bright screen state. In addition to fast forward and backward, the four-corner buttons also have two buttons for return and details. In the default setting state, the front buttons and turntable do not work during the rest screen, and shortcut keys on the side are needed. Of course, these buttons under the rest screen can also be activated through system settings.

The shortcut buttons on the machine side are all located on the left side of the machine body. They are the power button, the volume up and down button, and the pause button. In order to avoid the difficulty of distinguishing the volume addition and subtraction from the previous/next button, the volume key of X3 Mark Ⅲ has the function of cutting songs. Press the volume key for a long time to switch songs, but only in the state of the rest screen, please try to avoid pressing the volume increase for a long time after the screen is lit. X3 Mark Ⅲ itself has no built-in storage and needs to rely on TF cards. The card slot is also on the left side of the body and supports 256G TF cards at most.

is probably due to cost reasons. The side of X3 Mark Ⅲ does not have a family-style geometric cutting design, but the design of the red-circle power button is retained. However, since the sides of the red body are all red, they cannot be seen. The power supply strategy of X3 Mark Ⅲ is commendable. After startup, it will enter deep sleep mode without operation for a period of time, and it only takes 2 seconds to wake up. Since it is not an Android system, the deep sleep mode is very power-saving, and there is no problem for ten days and a half months. You can wake up quickly when you want to listen to songs.

is a red metal ladder, which is very beautiful. The dividing line at the top should also be a family design language.

LOGO part is made of sufficient materials and three-dimensional striped metal materials.

's clean water cover from the factory also dug a hole to emphasize LOGO texture.

I have to say that the clean water cover and leather cover of Feiao's new machine have a very high degree of fit, and the whole is relatively thin, which will not affect the feeling of holding. Personally, I prefer to hold plastic or leather, which makes me feel more secure.

is pasted with a HiRes gold label and some basic parameters.

interfaces are uniformly arranged at the bottom of the fuselage. They are 3.5mm earphone interface, Micro USB interface and 2.5mm balanced output respectively. Adding balanced output to the thousand-yuan player greatly improves the playability of the machine, and also makes X3 Mark III less easy to be replaced by mobile phones.

X3 Mark Ⅲ is much lighter and more beautiful than X7 Mark Ⅱ.

find out the other two non-Android players SONY ZX100 and Kaiyin N3 to compare, the materials, workmanship and appearance design of X3 Mark Ⅲ are basically in line with the ZX100 priced in 3000 yuan.
