With the M21, Fiio is showing that it can deliver a fantastic digital audio player on a budget. It still has all the best features of the M23, but it doesn't cost anywhere as much.

Android Central

Fiio's FT7 is the brand's best over-ear headset yet, and one of the best options under $1,000 right now.
