[IT168 Review] Observing the development of Walkman in recent years, HIFI high-sounding players are actually quite vital. A player designed specifically for playing music has much better sound quality than ordinary smartphones. After years of maturity of high-quality op amps and DAC technology, the price of high-quality MP3 music player is also relatively affordable. Patriots launched his entry-level music player MP3-105. When I got it, I had the urge to buy it. The overall design and sound of this player are suitable for players who like to listen to HIFI music. Please see the details below for the specific experience.

has the urge to buy Patriot MP3-105 player listen

first is unboxing, it is actually not sensitive to the box of Patriot MP3-105 player, and it is still the honest packaging of Patriot. Under the current trend of liking "fashion", Patriots are still a little unable to keep up with the "trend". Of course, some people will like honest things, because digital products launched by Patriots are conquering the world with reliable quality, so it is reasonable to use honest packaging boxes.

Of course, when you unpack the package, you will be a little surprised when you see the player's body. There was a saying in my heart that was so pretty. The appearance of this kind of thing is still something that everyone loves, but I do like this style of player. The player uses a full metal shell, which is very weighty and quality! It has a good texture and is heavy when you hold it.

is a 2-inch TFT LCD screen with a resolution of 320X240. At the bottom of the screen are physical buttons, the main functions are forward, back, menu, return, playback and other main functions. There are small icons next to the buttons, which is easy to distinguish the functions of the buttons. In the lower left corner of the player is a circular turntable, and its main function is the scrolling function of the operation menu. This turntable is my favorite element, which is a symbol of style. Regardless of whether it is very practical or not, at least it looks like a tough and handsome look with a mechanical structure.

player has a volume adjustment button on the side, and there is also a TF card slot that can support up to 64G expansion. Then the player uses the MicroUSB interface to charge and conduct data. Generally, Android phones use this interface, which makes it easy for users to find the player's charging cable. The player has a built-in 1500mAh battery, and the official battery life is 5 hours, but during the use, I found that this player has a much more than 5 hours of playback time.

View official information, the decoder is the new smart DAC decoding chip DAC8965, and the op amp is TPA6530, which are both relatively rare chip solutions. It can be seen that Patriots adopt their own set of solutions in terms of production and supply chains, and do not use "road goods". This makes me look forward to the sound quality of the sample combination.

The headphones used in this test are mainly in-ear TF10, and there are two head-mounted ones: Fiil headphones and AKG Q701. In terms of linear output, sound engine A5 2.0 speaker is added as a listening reference.

First of all, the headphone listening aspect, the first feeling the player gave me is that the dynamics are very good, the thrust is relatively good, and the collection and release are not out of mud and water. It is very familiar with the push of TF10. The AKG Q701 with slightly larger impedance requires about 50% of the volume to have a relatively impressive sound effect. The low frequency momentum and volume sense are not as good as TF10, but this MP3 has much greater thrust than ordinary mobile phones. Wang Feng headset is also a relatively easy-to-promote headset. It only has about 20% of the volume under Patriot MP3-105. In terms of thrust, there is no problem with Patriot MP3-105 coping with small headphones and mainstream portable headphones, while monitoring types like the AKG 701 are not suitable.In terms of

three-band, the player takes the balanced route, and both high, medium and low are very balanced. Of course, for users of different flavors, the built-in equalizer can be used to adjust the sound style. The overall balanced voice also makes the player more destined to listeners. After all, users who like HIFI now tend to have a balanced voice style. In terms of

sound field, the player's horizontal sound field is good, the space feel is good, and the positioning is also good. The vertical sound field is more average, and the vocals and instruments appear relatively close. The layering of the sound is very clear, the instruments and vocals have good separation, the vocals are clear and natural, and the medium frequency density is also good. The sound field performed best on the AKG Q701, with very open sound. The sound field of Wang Feng’s headphones is average, but the warm vocals and this player feel just right.

has a strong and powerful low frequency, and the premise is to match the corresponding headphones. The TF10 and Wang Feng headphones are paired with Patriot MP3-105, and the performance is satisfactory, including deep dive, flexible sound, and resolution. However, the AKG Q701 seems to be insufficiently dynamic and can't lift it up. Especially when the low frequency becomes unstable under large-scale songs, the background concert will be a bit messy.

is indeed quite elegant in terms of high frequency. It was originally not good at high frequency Wang Feng's headphones. It also sounds better under this player. The high frequency extension is naturally comfortable. The high-frequency and loud TF10 performs particularly well on the Patriot MP3-105, and the high resolution and ethereality of the dynamic iron are very powerful. When paired with AKG Q701, the high frequency looks much dimmer, and it is still a problem of thrust.

vocals Patriot MP3-105 is relatively balanced and straightforward. Basically, the three headphones should be of level. For example, the tough voice of TF10, the mellow mid-frequency of Wang Feng's headphones, and the characteristics of the Q701 mid-frequency depression. So when paired with different headphones, there are different styles. Patriot MP3-105 does little tone dyeing, and try to retain the original taste of the sound.

is finally connected to the sound engine A5 speaker through the linear output port. It can be said that it is a balanced decoder with a balanced speaker, so it outputs a calm sound like water. The linear port output level of the Patriot MP3-105 can be set separately from the headphone port, so the headphone output will basically not affect the linear output port. Bypassing the sound emitted by the built-in ears, the resolution is higher, the medium frequency density is better, and the sound field is still in a situation where the horizontal direction is wide and the vertical direction is shallow.

Editor's summary: The quality of Patriot MP3-105 is still beyond the author's expectations. It has excellent performance in the combination of TF10 and Wang Feng's headphones. The balanced tuning style is very consistent with the taste of HIFI enthusiasts. In addition, the craftsmanship of this player is also a popular place. It has exquisite workmanship, personalized design and complete functions. It is a player that combines both external and internal. The price is 499 yuan, which is very worth recommending.
