HOW ABOUT SHANLING MOUNTAIN SPIRIT SPORTS MP3 Brand introduction

It is a veteran audio company in China, and has been engaged in the development of audiophile for nearly 30 years. Shanling's sports player has obvious advantages in terms of portability, and the interaction of industrial design and system is unique among local brands, coupled with good cost performance, Shanling has always been very popular in the sports MP3 market.
 
Why choose a player in the era of smartphones, Shanling gave an almost perfect answer. First of all, portability, the M0 and M1 are only the size of a watch, and they can be fixed to the arm with straps, which greatly reduces the restraint when exercising. Secondly, it supports almost all mainstream audio formats, and the output power is also better than that of mobile phones, so that consumers can listen to fuller tri-frequency and higher resolution sounds.
 
Today's player front-end play is also becoming more and more diversified, in addition to connecting the conventional 3.5mm wired headphones, Shanling has added a two-way Bluetooth function for its M0 and M1, which can be connected to an external Bluetooth headset or a mobile phone, as a Bluetooth decoding headphone amplifier for the mobile phone, to solve the pain point that the mobile phone does not have a headphone jack, and is equipped with LDAC, aptX two high-end Bluetooth protocols, which can support Bluetooth transmission of songs at a higher bit rate, and reduce the signal loss in Bluetooth transmission, which has a qualitative improvement compared with the traditional Bluetooth sound quality, However, there is still a big gap with wired output.
 
M0 has won the 2018 Japan VGP Product Planning Award, which is the highest authoritative award in the acoustic industry in Japan, its thrust (output power) is 2 times that of M1, but the volume is 38% smaller, and the net weight is only 38g, but due to the limitation of the volume, the battery life is decent, about 15 hours, and the two fuselages have no memory, and additional cards are required. M0 is a touch screen design, and M1 is a non-touch screen, M0's touch screen has little advantage in sports scenes, while M1 is to add multi-function knobs and buttons, through pressing, rotation can achieve blind operation, easy to use. The price of M1 is 698 yuan, which is 100 yuan more expensive than M0, and consumers can weigh it according to their own needs.
 
The M2S is positioned higher, and the volume is also quite larger than the M1, the size and weight are close to the Sony A-45, and slightly lighter than the mobile phone, at 100g. The biggest change in appearance is that the knob is protruding on the side, and most of the time it needs to be controlled with both hands, instead of the M1's one-handed "lighter" design, which reduces the ease of use for sports enthusiasts to operate blindly. The more important improvement is the DAC chip,M2S is upgraded from M1's AK4452 to the same AK4490EQ of the Shanling flagship M5,Build a better hardware foundation for the presentation of music,The price is more expensive than M1399element,If you pay special attention to the sound quality of sports MP3,Then M2S is a better choice。
