We use Shanling very own ME100, Virgo (balance line) and Dynaco DK-4001 as tryout earphones. And included the individual utilization of the mountain soul M0 as a comparison. The first is the ME100 of Shan Ling’s own. The M5s sounds little and can without much of a stretch push the ME100. It very well may be said that it is effortless. In terms of sound execution, M5s holds the warm and full stable execution of ME100. The goals and resilience are on a level. The medium and high recurrence lines are more strong. The low recurrence keeps up the surface of the boxing to the meat. The sound field is more open and littler than the little M0.

As an extensive variety of listening companions, Dynako DK-4001 + Shan Ling M5s this set can be completely satisfied. However, after the Dynaco DK-4001 was supplanted with a 2.5mm equalization port, the sound line was more reduced. The sound partition execution was better, and the low-recurrence versatility execution was marginally better. Yet we were stunned by the IF execution, the middle of the road recurrence.
The instrument resembles a sharp edge, and the voice is smooth and delicate. For the unpleasant and culled strings of the American nation people tunes. The beautiful area is an extraordinary articulation, and it can feel the large elements of the earphones and the player. Expository power.
