good model, liked it

10 September 2021

As for the device - for those used to listening to audio on a smartphone, the player's display may seem small and inconvenient. And the text on the screen - quite small. But this is a minor thing you can get used to, but what is very important and greatly irritating is that alongside the normally functioning features of the device, sound control suffers from a certain disability. That is to say, using the side wheel on the model to make the sound quieter or louder is practically impossible. And it, the wheel, is meant precisely for that, for sound control! You can turn it one way, you can turn it the other – it won't help. Because the sound seems to exist on its own, and this wheel on its own. Both to the one side and the other, the sound may either increase, quite unexpectedly for you, or decrease, independently of your wishes and your efforts in turning the mentioned wheel. Therefore, it's simpler to control the sound through the player's screen. At least, that's what I do.
As for the player's sound quality – I can't compare it to other players as I don't have them, but in my opinion, for a device costing between 23 and 30 thousand, it sounds good. I think, even a 4.5 out of 5 in the rating system. Everything is heard clearly and in detail. However, one must understand - to unlock the potential of the player, corresponding "ears" are required, costing around 12-15-20 thousand. Personally, I have "Beyerdynamic 770 Pro" and "FiiO F9 Pro". After all, with "cheap ears" your player will sound no better than a simple phone, and what's the point, then, of fiddling with an audio player? By the way, the library should also be appropriate.
