FiiO recently released an upgraded version, the M11 Pro, which is around $200 more expensive and offers minor upgrades. Those issues aside, the M11 is a remarkable DAP which we think everyone needs to hear at least once. The Bluetooth is only 4.2, which is relatively low, and there's only USB 2.0 charging available, which can get mighty slow. The 18-million-color screen is just superb, and the sheer number of options the player gives you easily beats models from HiBy and iBasso. We adore the sound, which is confident and precise, and we love the modified Android operating system that will be instantly familiar to anybody who has ever used a smartphone. It’s the culmination of everything that makes their products so compelling. FiiO appear to release a new DAP almost once a month – or it feels like it anyway – but the M11 is the best thing they’ve ever made. The FiiO M11 isn’t just a brilliant player, it’s one that comes hot on the heels of two equally brilliant players - the M7 and M9. What We Don't: Older version of Bluetooth, a little expensive.

What We Like: Stunning design and sound quality, terrific screen.

Dozens of companies have sprung up, offering players that can deliver audio of a much higher quality than any iPod. It changed the way we listen to music forever - and today, Apple is no longer the market leader.

Anyway, it sold around three hundred and sixty million units.

Remember the very first iPod from seventeen years ago? No? Damn, we're old.
