Need A Review?

[DaveTheBird]

Yep a big difference, I do not need balanced out and find the sony walkman's too expensive really, this is a very good price and with Android I am tempted again :)

[hibymusic]

A video full of apologies lol
It's okay, considering that professional audio reviewer may not necessarily know about the changes in the volume control of the M300, this is a mistake in our promotion.
We will also improve on this!Hope everyone likes M300!

David, thank you for the review!Also to @ozboylu

[Undead.Musicphile]

It takes a big man to admit they were wrong.😊
I'll definitely pick it up sometime soon now.

[ReinoldFZ]

Good for you to acknowledge the issue, although what puzzles me is that I think I have read DAP reviews in your web page. Anyway, a lot of smartphone reviews praising brittle glass backs as a "pro" instead of reliable and sometimes even better looking plastic, has made me aware that reviews have to be considered from the perspective of persons that necessarily have to spend a limited time with the device so some things slip.

About the output jack, I think Shanling almost nails it with their M0 Pro. If only they're using a solid L plug adapter for their proprietary 3, 5mm bal to the standard female 4, 4mm bal included in the box and slapping the extra cost to the final price quietly. They can then keep the form factor while pleasing both the normies and the balanced crowd.
What a missed opportunity.

[jamesmiller]

In terms of why they did not include a balanced out, my guess is that the M300 was becoming such a formidable device, they needed to hobble it a little bit so that it did not cannibalize their more expensive offerings.

Can i download loseless music from apple music on this m300? I only listen streaming from apple music, or maybe r6 III would be a better choice? Thanks a lot

[harrybaque]

I picked up the R3 2 and while I do like the device I have one little issue with Hiby Music app. I am a fan of shuffling songs by genre or artist and I have yet to find a way to do that without spending lots of time creating playlists. If that one change was made I would love the device. Pertinent to M300 because I’m sure the app functions the same.

[koool]

This seems ideal for me! I already have a phone, I just need a device to play flacks on 3.5mm headphones

[gremate]

I thought i was watching Dankpods' alternate channel. You got his same voice!

[melissadale]

I cannot get podcasts to play on Spotify. Any suggestions? Have you had any issues playing podcasts? I have a paid Spotify account.

[bobyeo]

Appreciate your efforts to correct it with another video. Seems m300 is good after all.

[frankmiller]

Is the player OTG?? Could I attach a Dongle Dac such as THE QUDELIX 5K to the M300 and it will work?

[jaroslavfricek]

That's fine Thank you for coming back to it ❗️😊 My maybe stupid question is if I can use it like a phone and connect usb C dongle with it or not ❓🙋‍♂️

[fermild]

Can you recommend this for the sound quality for DAP within similar price range?

[kopana]

Es de sabio cambiar de opinión, yo recientemente compre mi m300 y me encanta, excelente calidad de sonido, estoy feliz con el m300.

[CLaudiusClemensJimmy]

bravo, real man should admit that's he is wrong and apologize, cheers mate

[titmusspaultpaul]

Thanks for the update. Just wondering what a balanced headphone output does for the sound quality.... thanks.

[Rsalmond]

Just keep the 3.5 which keeps all the powaaaa! No need to split between 4.4.

[VitorMach]

To be fair, for a product like this they should ensure that media volume was maxed by default. This will certainly bamboozle some end users as well.
