I am not having a good time with my JM21. The bass always sounds like it has a distortion pedal turned on. Hopefully Fiio releases a firmware update that fixes it because unless I use the USB out, the audio is flat out bad.
Correction. Hiby R4 do have Bluetooth Receiving Mode. Have you update your Firmware? And Hiby R4 has a USB-C 3.2 Gen1 port that have transfer rate of 5Gbps that is important if you want to transfer files from your pc directly to your DAP with microsd inside.
Official specs (from an official retailer in China): Snapdragon 680 Dual CS43198 700mw+700mw output 12 hour battery life Android 13 Own OS (SRC bypassed)
No, to android DAPs with 10h battery life. I would not recommend this to anyone. What's the point if the battery dies faster than your phone? My ancient Sony walkman mp3 player still has 30h playtime and 6 months on standby...
Great review, especially describing this as a stress free, light "on the go" player. If I dropped this, I wouldn't worry as much.

Thank you
Can you elaborate on the Sound quality vs r4 and sq in general where it stands

The screen size looks comfortably accessible.
I think it cannot find this lower than 200$ so far, all resale prices is over than 230$

Is there line out mode from the 3.5mm?
i really like this design looks exactly like the sony z5
Battery life is about 5-6 hours… , you can see the battery draining in real time, great device but battery isn’t adequate
What measurement rig do you use to measure iems?
RMS power?
Not sure what is the point of doing a DAP review without talking about a single word on sound quality or comparison with R4
Most DAPs sound the same in terms of neutrality, it boils down to how much power they can provide, in this case the JM21 seems like a winner
2nd this reviewing an audio product without mentioning a word about its sq is kinda ridiculous!
@@sebsexperience no they don't, even DAP's from the same brand sound different. It's just that you can't tell the difference.
@@sebsexperienceeven budget daps containing the same chip sounded very different to me.
Whats actual battery life compared to hiby r4 ?
About 50% for the JM21 easily
Does the JM21 have Global PEQ?
Android has several to choose from, I recommend Poweramp Equalizer
@ Will take a look. Haven’t had luck with Wavelet and Apple Music on my M11 Plus.
