Let me tell you, this little guy punches way above its weight class. Coming from bulky DAPs that felt like carrying a brick, the M0 Pro's 36.8g frame is a revelation. It disappears in my pocket alongside my phone, yet delivers sound quality that shames players twice its price.
The dual ES9219 chips work magic - my Sennheiser HD 280 Pros never sounded this alive before. Bass has actual presence (take notes, Fiio), and the 90mW output drives them effortlessly. That "crystal clear" description in the reviews? Believe it.
I use mine daily during commutes. The touchscreen takes getting used to (pro tip: use folder view for navigation), but the side button becomes second nature for quick volume adjustments. Bluetooth 5.0 holds rock-solid connections to my wireless earbuds - no more cutouts mid-chorus like other players.
Yes, battery life could be better (I get about 6 hours with mixed usage), but it charges crazy fast via USB-C. And while I've experienced occasional freezes during library browsing, they're rare enough that the trade-off for this level of portability and sound quality feels justified.
If you want a true portable audiophile experience without compromising pocket space, this is it. My 1TB microSD loaded with FLAC files runs buttery smooth - something even pricier players struggle with. Just don't expect smartphone-level UI polish from this credit card-sized powerhouse.
