Established in 1988, Shanling has been a pioneer in audio product development, launching their first Hi-Fi stereo amplifier that same year. With a relentless commitment to innovation, Shanling has acquired numerous patented technologies and qualifications, including SONY LDAC, Bluetooth BQB, and Hi-Res certification from the Japanese Audio Association, among others.
With over 30 years of experience, Shanling values integrity, teamwork, and dedication. Our employees are the cornerstone of our success, and we prioritize customer satisfaction and product quality above all else. Our headquarters in Shenzhen and factory in Dongguang enable us to seamlessly integrate research and development, production, and sales of a wide range of high-quality products, including Hi-Res portable music players, amplifiers, headphones, SACD/CD players, and power conditioners. We are proud of our strong partnerships with renowned international hi-end manufacturers and our stellar reputation in the industry.
First of all, thanks for the quick delivery. This tiny DAP is easy to use. The playback is good, the sound clear and well resolving. With the special Shanling adaptor you get full value as the music sounds loud and very clear. However I do need to recharge the battery after 3 to 4 hours listening. That is the only downside
I bought the red colour Shanling M0 Pro, it is a great sounding device. Holds good amount of music in high res quality, initially had issues playing a few FLAC files which were resolved after firmware upgrade. The latest version is 1.6 so I recommend you update your device to the latest. UI is simple but would have loved some thumbnail views to select albums instead of all text view.
Overall great sound and supports all the latest features of a dedicated Music player. Physical buttons to change track would have been better than one button to power on off and setting actions.
Battery life could have been better if it had been more than 24 hours. Currently lasts about 1.5 days if you are a frequent listener.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for the Shanling M0 Pro Hi-Res Digital Audio Player. We are glad to hear that you are enjoying the device and its great sound quality. We apologize for any initial issues you may have had with playing FLAC files, but we are happy to know that they were resolved after a firmware upgrade. We also appreciate your feedback on the UI and will take it into consideration for future improvements. We appreciate your support and hope you continue to enjoy your Shanling M0 Pro.
It was decent build as expected like previous MO.,bit stylish for the age.Single dial system ,minimalistic is functional and ergonomic.Clicks switches song gud.Unlock requires a swipe.Dial is gud.Sound signature pretty decent for iem and may work for less power required Headphones too.Cleaner signature and may require you to dial up more than 50% for decent volume.Charge looks like around 6-7 hours decent.Screen bit small but over time we will get used to and works great.Portablity is the usp of this DAP for travel or bedside listen.May be a Spotify or Apple lossless in future will be great add on.Otherwise Gud DAP for iems and a portable DAC too for compact carrying people.Case is decent too from.Shanling.Satisfied overall.but dont think its very powerful though.
Thanks for your review of the Shanling M0 Pro Hi-Res Digital Audio Player! We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear you find it functional and ergonomic with a decent sound signature.
I recently made a purchase of this product slightly over a week ago from the audio store, and I am pleased to express my satisfaction with the package and delivery, which were executed in a neat and expedited manner. My primary intent for acquiring this item was to cater to my portable audio requirements during various activities such as walking, driving, and commuting.
Upon testing, I found the sound stage to be suitably expansive, allowing for a satisfying auditory experience. Furthermore, the device exhibited the capability to power my in-ear monitors (IEMs) effectively. The audio quality itself can be described as neutral with a subtle warmth, which enhances the overall listening experience.
Transferring my music collection was a seamless process, as the user interface proved to be both smooth and devoid of any apparent glitches or inconveniences. In terms of battery performance, the device showcased commendable backup capabilities, ensuring a prolonged and uninterrupted usage.
Taking into account its features and performance, I am inclined to recommend this compact yet powerful audio device, as it offers excellent value within its price range. However, it is worth noting that the absence of a balanced adapter is the only drawback I encountered during my experience with the product.
Thank you for your review of the Shanling M0 Pro Hi-Res Digital Audio Player. We're glad to hear that you're pleased with your purchase and the performance of the device. We recommend that you invest in a quality balanced adapter to take full advantage of the device's excellent audio quality.
Seriously you have to consider this player for your offline music. The best tiny player with a dual chipset has a lot of power to deliver any IEM. My self using IE 900 & IE 200 along with 64 Audio Fourte. All my IEMS are very well sounding with M0 Pro.
At this price point, dint expects this player sounds that great and even powerful but really thrilled once plugged in. I won't listen with a 3.5 jack plug. Personally purchased a 3.5 to 4.4 mm Balanced adapter which is from Shanling and recommended for M0 Pro.
Let your offline tracks be of any quality the M0 will make them sound the best. I had my offline tracks for many years now. Some of the tracks are downloaded from various sites not been much quality but this player sounds the best. As per my observation, this player delivers a great listing experience with decent separation, mids, and lows. At the price point, it's a wonderful gem in a 15k Segment player.
Pros:
1. 100% Best DAP at this price point
2. Lots of power and musicality.
3. with a 4.4 mm balanced adaptor you will see the real side of M0 Pro.
4. Decent power battery
5. The quality of the player looks very good (won't look cheap )
6. The software also won't have much lag. ( Fine to operate )
Cons:
1. Not included the 4.4 Balanced adaptor
2. Separate purchase of a case
Final Words: Recommend to everyone, If you are new to the audiophile journey and need some DAP for your offline tracks then this is the best to choose without any question. If you already have some flagship DAP and want to have something for traveling and when you move to some un-network areas where you felt like listing your favorite tracks then this should be in your pocket.
Thanks for the Pritam always stands for best recommendations and suggestions for audiophiles. Love you all time. Thanks again:)
Thank you for your detailed review.

OUR HONEST REVIEWS FROM THE CO-FOUNDERS & AUDIOPHILES
View allTRUSTED BY OVER 35K+ MUSIC ENTHUSIAST
Let customers speak for us
from 5002 reviewsGood quality
a very well made cable from Dunu with modular plugs and a very secure fastening system (q lock), no microphonics noted, contrary to many reports, usage : Shure se215 + 4.4 plug + Hiby r4 and it really opens up the Shures and the over ear loops are very comfortable too
This is really warm sounding as advertised. Especially vocals are more engaging. The fact that its driven by phone power doesn't affect the sound quality in anyway like in other dacs I have experienced brighter, thin sound or few peaks in upper midrange. If earphones are having good sensitivity then this dac provides good enough power. Although bit bulky build is very good. I'm sure it can withstand frequent drops also. Have not tried the filters and listening to default filter only. One thing I noticed is although on paper power output is good for 32ohm its only good at driving earphones and not headphones. Distortion kicks in when volume is increased even at high gain setting. I'm only guessing current supplying capability for dynamic driver headphones is not sufficient. Tested with 300ohm HD600.
The sound quality is so much better than any other wireless earphones
The quality of wire is superb.
The mic quality is also good.
Length and feel of wire is good. Sound quality with my Tangzu warner is excellent

Have bought this on 17 Aug 2024 and after using it for almost half a year i can surely say this is the best one in this price range...
I like how crisp and clear the audio is, also how good the IEMs respond to EQing, which unlocks a lot whole lot of possibility

Recently bought this after seeing some positive reviews
Fit:
Unlike many reviews which talks about it's fit issue, it's a wonderful fit for me with the stock large size narrow bore tips. I usually go for medium or small size silicone tips but for this one large one fitted well. i guess large size long stem eartips fits well with this iem.
Sound:
Vocals and string instruments sounds forward but never thin or sharp or fatiguing and has a sweet timbre. I guess it's due to its thick note weight and the quality of dynamic driver.
Bass in general is good. But i would prefer little bit more sub bass quantity. Also prefer the bass to be a bit tighter. Not too tight as i am not a fan of too tight bass. Basically here bass decay is slow and i would prefer it to be moderate.
Treble has just enough energy and details but relaxed.
Overall it sounds very nice with a pleasant timbre.
Note that i replaced the stock cable with fiio ls-b 4.4 mm cable.

Great set to start your tip rolling journey!
Got the delivery under 24 hrs.

This is wonderful product and quality is great. Very good working with mic.
And support samsung s22 ultra.
The Moondrop Blessing 3 is a hybrid IEM with excellent performance and a largely neutral sound signature with a slight bass boost. It offers impressive detail retrieval, resolution, and instrument separation for its price.
Pros:
* Excellent detail and clarity: It reveals subtle nuances in music.
* Balanced sound: Largely neutral with a well-controlled bass that doesn't bleed into other frequencies.
* Good technicalities: Strong imaging and separation of instruments.
* Comfortable for wearing for long periods
* Solid build quality
Cons:
* Fit can still be an issue for those with smaller ears.
* The cable could have been better.
Overall an excellent IEM for me.... Well done Moon drop!!!
The KZ ZSN Pro 2 offers exceptional sound quality at an affordable price. With a hybrid driver setup (1 dynamic + 1 balanced armature), it delivers a punchy V-shaped sound signature with deep bass, clear mids, and sparkling highs. The soundstage is surprisingly wide with good instrument separation and imaging. Build quality is solid, featuring metal faceplates and a comfortable, ergonomic design. While the cable and accessories are basic, the overall performance makes the ZSN Pro 2 a fantastic value for budget audiophiles.
Yes it is very comfortable 👍

Best under 2k for balanced sound.

Rarely do you find cases that offer this kind of value. I love it for two main reasons: there's no need to cram your IEMs like in typical compact cases, and it has enough room to fit a dongle DAC comfortably. You can even carry two IEMs if needed. The build is solid, and it feels premium all around. A great pick!
