Not sure what you're looking for?

Had mine (non-pro) for around 2 years. Dropped about 10 times. Every time the screen would pop off. Picked it up and popped it back on, no issues, no broken screen. Except this time the button push/return function doesn't work now. It turns on, but when you turn the wheel, it turns off. So now I'm debating if I should just get the pro, because it's a pretty awesome player. The optional belt clip holder is junk though. Either way, You can consider this a (sort of) review of the original, that if it can put up with me for that long , then it must be good.😉

You're right about the clip. Without a spring for added grip strength it's useless. I ended up getting the leather case then using dental floss to wrap in a certain way in which a tiny circular ring is attached. Them I attached a bigger ring to the tiny ring. The bigger ring can then attach to shorts or pants. It's solid and I don't have to worry about it falling when I go jogging.

Honestly, I love them both. I prefer the larger screen on the AP80 Pro X and its 2.5mm balanced output makes it more versatile (I'm not paying extra for the M0 adapter). But the ap80 pro x battery seems to drains pretty fast, especially using balanced output. If I'm running or working out, the M0 size is great (but why don't they include a clip case wtf).

Both have pros and cons. M0 Pro is smaller and has a little more consistent battery life. AP80 Pro X has the larger screen so is better in UI plus it has extensive EQ capabilities. One other benefit of AP80 Pro X is it has balanced output without the need of an adapter.

I need answers for this. I have owned a Shanling M0 Pro for less than a month now and even at full battery, it drains immediately in less than a day even in complete STANDBY. Does leaving it equipped with an IEM (while not playing music) still drain its battery?

So, I'm considering this to use as a PC Bluetooth transmitter for the LDAC, but that I can also take with me when I go out as a music player that I can also connect to the Car. I'm between this and the FiiO M5. I like that the M5 can be use on the wrist and have a clock. But prefer the M0 design. Having a volume wheel and that the mSD is covered. Unlike the FiiO M5. Honestly that exposed mSD piss me off. And having that wheel and button I really like. I would prefer if the wheel could also be use to go up and down on the menu. Maybe the wheel be up and down an push button to select if it had another button for back. I'm not fun of touch controls. Miss my old iPod with the wheel controls. Or my walkman that had like 10 buttons. Anyway, would it be safe to leave this connected to the PC whenever I'm home.

The market has been moving away from these small, cheaper DAPs and I am guessing its because every brand is pushing their dongle dacs. I have a BTR5 and I had it since launch but if my BTR5 was a standalone audio player aswell it would be so much better, and the M0 Pro is just that. And cheaper. I am really considering this, my lossless library can fit on a 1TB card with room to spare so this would be really nice for taking my entire library with me aswell. I have read that it lasts 6-8 hours which might be a dealbreaker but I always carry a powerbank in my backpack so this isnt an issue for me.
