Feiao M7 Portable Player: A Mature Work with New Layout

towards the end of 2015, Feiao once introduced a consumer portable player model M3. The launch of this product surprised many people at that time, because Feiao M3 is actually an MP3 type music player product, and the method of attaching a flat-head plug to the package also reminded many users of the MP3 era.

So what groups is Feiao M3 aimed at? Considering its small size, the selling price of civilians and its long endurance, it is obvious that Feiao M3 is a toy for the student party and entry-level users. You can say that Feiao M3 is a product with some emotional colors. It is not designed and produced to cater to the market, but is more like something specially done to satisfy some users. At the same time, M3 is also the first player product in Feiao M series. If you want to ask why there are no M1 and M2, I think M3 is more like an abbreviation of MP3.

I didn't care much when Feiao M3 was launched, after all, M3 is too attractive to me compared with Feiao's X series. It is not too much to call it a "toy. However, when Feiao's new M-series player-M7 was born, I realized that Feiao's initial imagination and layout for the M-series was not only as simple as releasing a toy.

Feiao M series is obviously different from Feiao X series. X series focuses on the research and development of Hi-Fi portable players and is aimed at fever users who have high pursuit of sound, while M series focuses on the functionality and balance of products and expects to make products that are as satisfied as possible with ordinary consumers. If the previous M3 was only a small test of the M series, then this M7 can be said to be a masterpiece of Feiao in the M series.



can't catch up with the small and mini M3 volume before, this M7 still won't make you feel like carrying it with you. The body size of 52mm × 109mm × 13mm and the body weight of about 116g make it very light to hold in your hand, but the M7 with all-metal body is quite square in shape design, and the corners and corners will slightly show your hands. For this reason, the M7 is also randomly equipped with a, users who care about the feel can try to hold it with a sleeve. In addition, Feiao also provides PU sets to M7, but it only needs to be purchased separately. The natural PU sets will be more exquisite in appearance. Personally, I suggest that users with budget may wish to purchase this PU set separately. The selling price in 88 yuan cannot be lost or cheated..

Feiao M7 is 1398 yuan. It is a very mature model in the current 1000-yuan player market. We will not talk about the solid body workmanship. The most attractive thing is its 3.2-inch touch screen. Yes, Feiao M7 is equipped with a 3.2-inch touch screen this time. At present, there are not many players with touch screen at the market level of 1000 yuan. However, for modern people who are accustomed to using their fingertips to experience interaction, the addition of touch screen is undoubtedly an important element to enhance the experience of the player. We will discuss in detail the experience interaction of M7.

considering the positioning of M series, M7 does not use a balanced interface, but only provides a common 3.5mm PO / LO interface, which is a small regret of M7. At present, in Feiao's player, M7 and entry-level X1 II do not support the balance port. As for the reason why M7 does not carry the balance output, I personally guess that Feiao does not want the M series to have too much repetition with the X series, that is to say, the M series needs to be differentiated from the X series. Do you think, if M7 has the balance port, then it conflicts with Feiao X3 Mark III, which is of similar price. Moreover, the corresponding consumer groups of the two series are different. More ordinary users will buy M series. They may not specially buy a balanced earplug or a balanced wire for the player. Therefore, Feiao will be more reasonable to spend more time on the 3.5mm interface of M7.

Although M7 is quite different from other types of players in Feiao from the appearance, you can still find Feiao's design elements on its body, such as the 45 string pattern of its roller, the "Feiao Red" on the power key, etc. As far as my personal preference is concerned, the M7 style is currently my favorite in Feiao player.

In terms of storage space, M7 has only 2GB of free space, but supports a maximum of 512GB of TF card expansion. Although it doesn't cost much to buy a TF card now, it would be best if M7 comes with 32GB of storage space, not to mention saving money, at least saving trouble. By the way, the data interface of Feiao M7 is Type-C, but it does not support fast charging technology. However, the endurance of M7 can reach about 20 hours and the deep standby time can reach 40 days. Therefore, when using M7, I recommend that you not shut down at ordinary times and wait for the rest screen.

Customized UI interface and nostalgic FM function

is different from Feiao's X-series players. The UI of M7 is completely redone, and the overall use will be more in line with the market positioning of M-series. In my opinion, the M series is a "simple" product line. From the simple body design to the simplified UI interface of the system, the design idea of M7. The first impression M7 gives you is not that kind of silly professional player, it will be more friendly, just like the MP3 you were holding. Now let's look at the M3 and M7 machines. The charm of the products will make more people choose to accept it. If you just need a good music player, then Feiao M7 is a good choice.

M7 is mainly composed of six parts, namely, Feiao Music, Radio, File Manager, Gallery, Technical Support and Settings. See if there are some MP3s used in the early days? The overall operation logic of M7 is very simple, and the difficulty of getting started is very low. Slide up in the lower left corner of M7 screen to return step by step, slide up in the lower right corner to return to the main interface, and with good fluency, M7 still makes me more comfortable in terms of user experience.

, as far as the current firmware version of M7 is concerned, the wake-up speed of M7 after a long time of standby is still slightly slower, and it takes a while to turn on the screen. Sometimes I clicked the power key of M7 and thought it was not turned on. After a while, the screen was turned on before I knew it was slow. However, this aspect is not the hardware problem of M7. Software optimization is the main reason. The reason for this is that Feiao M7 is the first domestic player with Samsung processor.

is loaded with Samsung's Exynos 7270 inside the M7, which uses a 14nm process. Samsung used it on wearable devices before. For example, Samsung's own Gear S3 smart watch uses this processor. Using this processor in M7 has many benefits, such as smaller size, lower power consumption and better performance. At least, you don't need to worry about the smoothness of M7.

another special function of Feiao M7 this time is FM radio, which is a very nostalgic thing. M7 is also a rare product to move FM function to music player at this stage, but Bluetooth speakers play more radios at present. In terms of hardware, M7 uses an independent FM chip, and the number can be output to its own DAC chip, thus ensuring the level of sound quality. Since M7 does not have a built-in antenna, it can only be used normally if it is plugged in with earphones as antennas. Its frequency coverage range is 76MHz-108MHz, which basically covers most of the sound reception frequency bands.

FM radio function is a highlight of M7 in my opinion, and it is also the reason why M7 stands out among many entry players. As mentioned above, the M series is still aimed at the student party or entry-level users, which means that young students account for a large part. The addition of radio function directly allows M7 to give the students more ways to play listening, such as turning on the radio to listen to late-night interviews when they can't sleep at night, turning on the radio to listen to English radio frequency bands when studying in the library, turning on the radio to listen to recommended songs when they are bored, etc. The value brought to us by FM is far from being as simple as listening to programs. If you are a radio enthusiast, the FM radio function of M7 may make you fall in love with it.

and is to satisfy the original intention of the public.

can be said that Feiao's painstaking efforts on M7 are not at all like making an entry-level player. In order to be comprehensive, M7 even supports wireless transmission protocols such as aptX-HD, aptX and LDAC, allowing you to get a better experience when connecting with Bluetooth headsets. Although you don't think supporting so many Bluetooth protocols seems to be a small thing in technology, the authorization fee alone is not a small amount.

DAC, M7 uses an ESS home SABRE 9018Q2C chip, which supports DSD hard resolution. What's more, the signal-to-noise ratio of M7 is 121dB. You can also ask what this data means. This shows that the signal-to-noise ratio of M7 is higher than that of Feiao's flagship X7 Mark II, with clean noise and extremely low bottom noise. I took Andromeda, known as the "bottom noise detector" to listen to M7, but I still couldn't recognize the existence of bottom noise. Now you should understand why I said that Feiao's painstaking efforts on M7 are not at all like making an entry-level player.

M7 has a slightly more low-frequency part and a warmer sound. It has a good performance for pop music. The overall sound style has a strong pop flavor. It is not a quality flow route. If it can catch the user's ear in the first place, it will succeed. Take Andromeda as an example. Andromeda itself is a plug with a sound on the upper plate. The matching with M7 makes up for the problem of a little less sense of atmosphere. However, because the low frequency of M7 is relatively strong in texture and the resolution is not very high, the details are not perfect and may give you a sense of hearing that is not bright enough. However, if you really want to recommend it, I don't recommend you to use Andromeda with M7. Andromeda's harshness on the front end makes it not good on M7. M7 is still a consumer-grade entry-level product, and the sound can be comfortable to hear. Naturally, the quality cannot be compared with that of players with fever level.

is there any plug that is better than M7? Feiao's own ring iron earplug FH1 may be a good choice.

Feiao to start making plugs. From the beginning of the entry-level model to the current 1000-yuan machine earplug, Feiao's earplug product line has gradually matured. FH1 is Feiao's recent entry-level iron earplug, which adopts a unit structure of one circle and one iron. The price of 498 yuan is also officially recommended as M7 CP earplug. In terms of matching listening, the M7 FH1 combination does have some coordination in sound, perhaps the tuning reference of FH1 is based on M7? FH1 is driven by M7, the overall low-frequency texture has been improved, the intermediate frequency is slightly prominent, not as strong as before when matching Andromeda, instead of good vocal resolution, it will be better when listening to popular voices. In addition, due to the weak driving force, it is recommended that the M7 be matched with earplugs that are easy to push, otherwise it is difficult to exert a better sound effect.

On the whole,Feiao M7 is not a product with the best sound quality in the 1000 yuan level player, but a product that attracts consumers with a mature enough user experience. Solid workmanship, excellent operation, nostalgic FM and good listening voice, these elements constitute the maturity of M7. Perhaps, M7 is not the best sound in a thousand-dollar player, but in my opinion it is the most recommended one.
