Critics' Consensus

“The Fiio M9 delivers solid high-resolution audio performance with bright, resonant sound and excellent spatial separation at an affordable price. Its main drawbacks include limited internal storage, a small display, and the absence of an app store.”

“At $299 (£229, AU$439), the M9 isn’t one of FiiO’s top-end DAPs, but it’s in a sweet spot that delivers solid audio performance for the price.”

Acclaimed 4/5
