1MORE, a headphone brand with 10000 Magic Acoustics Technology. As the main force of Xiaomi's ecological chain, 1MORE has contributed many classic earphones to Xiaomi, including Xiaomi piston earphones, Xiaomi capsule earphones, and Xiaomi headphones. Each product is deeply loved by a group of consumers. Of course, while 1MORE is customizing earphones for Xiaomi, its own brand is also declining. The price of 1MORE three unit headwear, 1MORE three unit hoop iron earphones and other different styles ranging from hundreds to thousands of yuan have become popular. Become one of the hottest headphone manufacturers in China.

Shanling Audio, as an old brand of Hi Fi audio equipment in China, has a history of nearly 30 years. In recent years, we have set foot in the field of Hi Fi players, bringing many classic products of M series, which are impressive and have won market recognition.

1MORE+Shanling, two seemingly competitive brands, came together and launched a Hi Fi sports Bluetooth music combination, Shanling M1+1MORE iBFree. Both products of this combination support APT-X encoding technology, which can achieve lossless Hi Fi effect even though Bluetooth connection, bringing higher quality music experience to young people who love outdoor sports. Now, Xiaobian will introduce this combined product to you.

The two products are not packaged on paper, but packaged on the same packaging production line in a real sense. The front of the package is a picture of the product, and the back of the package is marked with some parameters of the two products. What interests the editor most is that both sides support Bluetooth's APT-X encoding technology to achieve lossless audio transmission.

After opening the outer package, we can see that the two products are still packed separately. 1MORE iBFree is mainly in white style, while Shanling M1 chooses black, which is in sharp contrast, white with black. The current price of this combination is 899 yuan. If you buy it alone, it will cost about 48 yuan, including 698 yuan for Shanling M1 and 249 yuan for 1more earphones. Apart from the price, what will be the cooperation between the two products?

【1MORE iBFree】

The 1MORE iBFree Bluetooth headset is priced at 249 yuan separately, with a wide range of accessories. Including a set on the headset itself, a total of three sets of silicone horn covers, three sets of silicone earplugs of different sizes, a USB charging data cable, and a user manual were sent.

The shell surface of 1More iBFree adopts multi-channel precision metal CNC and sandblasting process, and the back end of the headset adopts a texture similar to CD, which is very common in 1More products. Exquisite metal elements can really increase the goodwill of the headset. After all, it is not too cheap for a headset that costs more than 200 yuan.

The horn ear rest and ear muff are of integrated design, and the silicone gel is soft. Ear rest can give the earphone a support, so it will not fall off easily during exercise. Due to its soft texture, 1More iBFree is still comfortable to wear, and it will not cause earache if it is worn for a long time. Moreover, the existence of the silicone sleeve also has a certain effect on the waterproof of the headset. The waterproof specification of IPX4 can ensure that users can use the headset with ease in heavy sweating or rainy days.

Although the 1More iBFree earphone has a large cavity and the metal element makes the earphone not light, thanks to the tilt angle design of the catheter, it can bring a very comfortable wearing experience when inserted obliquely into the ear.

1More iBFree adopts the neck winding design. A plastic clip is added to the cable to control the length of the headphone cable. The appropriate length of the headphone cable can ensure that the cable will not swing from side to side during movement, causing discomfort.

The headphone remote control is designed on the right ear line, which is more in line with the use habits of right-handed users. The wire control adopts a three key design, with power key or pause in the middle and+- keys on both sides. Unlike the design of many sports Bluetooth headsets that put the USB charging port and the remote control into two modules, iBFree integrates these two functions into the remote control as well as the Bluetooth antenna. In terms of battery life, 1More iBFree has 240 hours of standby time, 10 hours of continuous talk time, and 8 hours of music playing. The battery life is still good.

[Mountain Spirit M1]

The biggest surprise of Mountain Spirit M1 is the 2.5D glass when the box is opened, which is very textured. M1 is embedded in the black protective inner lining, which is very safe. In terms of accessories, in addition to the user manual and San Bao certificate, two sets of HD films, a USB charging data cable, a card reader, and a headphone connector plug were also presented as gifts.

Compared with other music players, the exterior design is the highlight of Shanling M1. The triangle is slightly square, but the corner is relatively round. M1 is very small, with a size of 60mm × 50mm × 12.8mm and a weight of only 60g. It is very easy to hold. A 2.35-inch TFT display screen with a resolution of 360 × 400 is added on the front, which shows clearly. Unfortunately, touch is not supported. The screen is covered with a layer of 2.5D glass. This design is very common in mobile phones, but not many players.

The back of the M1 is similar to the glass design on the iPhone 4, and the workmanship is very exquisite. In terms of gorgeous value, this small music player is really very popular.

Since the screen of Shanling M1 does not have touch function, most selection operations need to be realized through the scroll wheel at the rear of the fuselage. This scroll wheel adopts the Japanese ALPS professional scroll wheel. Rotate it to switch menus or adjust the volume. Press the scroll wheel to select OK. Although it is a pity that there is no touch screen, with this wheel, it is very convenient and easy to use for single hand operation.

The sides of the M1 fuselage are surrounded by aluminum alloy, CNC finishing and sanding treatment. There is only one power button on the left side of the fuselage. The buttons on the left side include the return button, the up button and the down button. At the bottom are TF card slots (up to 256G extension), Type-C charging interface and 3.5mm headphone interface. In terms of battery life, the M1 can play music for 9-10 hours continuously and charge for 3-4 hours.

[Experience]

The system interface of Shanling M1 is very simple, and the right side of the interface is divided into five parts: playing, my music, file browsing, playing settings, and system settings. The left half circle is the background picture of the currently playing music.

In the playback settings, you can see the common functions of the music player, such as equalizer, gain settings, channel balance, and playback mode. In addition, Shanling M1 also supports power off memory playback and seamless playback.

  In the system settings, you can set Bluetooth, screen backlight brightness, backlight time, sleep power-saving power off, etc. Shanling M1 system also has four theme styles to choose from. Which do you prefer?

[Talking about sound quality]

Although Shanling M1 is positioned as an entry-level music player, its configuration is not careless at all. The decoding chip uses AK4452 from AKM, which supports up to 24bit/192Khz PCM format audio and up to 1bit/5.6Mhz (DSD128) level DSD format audio software. With the MAX97220 op amp chip, it can be said that Shanling M1 must not be underestimated. And 1More iBFree is a headset that supports Bluetooth Apt-X. What is the actual music performance of this sports combination?

I listened for a few days and talked about some personal views. This set of combination is not like the impression that 1More has always given people that they look at low-frequency tuning. The three frequencies are well balanced, and the sound is transparent, which can bring a sense of hearing with high resolution. High frequency performance is more prominent, when performing female voice, you can feel a relatively high pitched extension. On the intermediate frequency, it is standard. Sometimes, the sound lacks some magnetism. Of course, the details of the sound are kept well. In terms of low frequency, there is a slight regret. There is no sense of "movement times". After all, it is an entry-level combination, so don't expect too much about Hi Fi performance. Of course, you can directly plug the Mountain Spirit M1 into a headset with good sound quality. Maybe you will get a higher experience, but you also lack the sports soul of this combination.

[Conclusion]

The positioning of Shanling M1+1MORE iBFree is very clear. It is a sports Bluetooth music combination. Mini shape, it is no longer a burden to wear it when exercising. When running, tie the Mountain Spirit M1 to your arm with a sports arm strap, and wear the 1MORE iBFree headset, you can exercise very comfortably. When exercising, you can also easily use the scroll wheel on M1 or 1MORE iBFree to select your favorite songs. The sound quality performance can also give you a better feeling than listening to music on your mobile phone. Of course, you'd better not put the M1 in your pocket or bag. It will still affect the Bluetooth connection somewhat. Occasionally, it will be intermittent. It still needs further optimization by the two manufacturers.
