# Original Innovator # Thousand Yuan Upstart-CAYIN Kaiyin N3 Music Player Auditions
It was around late October, and it had been almost six months since the last Shanghai Audiovisual Exhibition. That was when I first heard the N3, and I was immediately impressed by its sound quality. Back then, both the audio sources were really hot, so I had to give up my spot early to let other fans try it out. But I was lucky enough to get an audition, and I applied right away. I guess my luck wasn't bad at all.
Now that I've finally gotten off work, I've been stuck with overtime again. Still, I made it to the office to open the package (a bit messy, sorry). The box was tightly sealed, which is great!
I had to use a bit of force to open it.
Inside, the drawer-style box has some nice details. You can pull out the front or the back cover easily.
Everything is here! Not sure who posted the fancier version, but it looked pretty bright.
Let's talk about the design. When I first got it, I went to Dogdong to check the material — no issues there. It's aluminum alloy, not plastic, but the metallic feel isn't too strong. It feels similar to Meizu's metal paint process. On the back, there's a leather-like material with a logo and 3C information. The process seems a bit tricky, and the gaps aren’t perfectly uniform, but it doesn't really bother me. As a phone enthusiast, I have high standards, but recently I saw an N3 with a glass back that worked well with the Copper Bird. Its value was just right for me as a young guy.
The lighting in the office isn't great, so the photos might be overexposed. Let's start the review!
The interface looks like a piano. Kaiyin's branding now appears on vinyl records, giving it an international feel.
I couldn't help but test it out. The operation logic feels a bit off compared to what I'm used to. I previously used a Mountain Spirit M1, and without a wheel, it felt awkward. Capacitive buttons are too sensitive and easy to hit accidentally. I'd suggest making the upper and lower capacitive buttons slightly raised so you can tell which one you pressed. Another issue is the direction of the buttons: the up button is next, and the down is previous/restart — it feels inverted. The screen is okay, not Retina-level, but not bad either. However, the HIBYLink update is a game-changer! Now I can control the player from my phone, and even skip songs if the remote fails. Super smart and convenient. The charging speed is also good — from 0% to full in about an hour and 12 minutes. Faster than the M1, and it doesn't get too hot. Plus, it shows the battery percentage, which is a big plus. The M1 only showed a charging indicator, and I never knew when it was done. With the N3, the breathing light flashes while charging and stops when it's full.
Oh, and I forgot to mention the battery life with Bluetooth. The range is decent — about ten meters, slightly worse than a phone but better than the M1. For MP3, FLAC, APE, and DSD playback, it lasts around twelve hours, which is pretty good.
Finally, on the sound quality. Compared to the M1, the N3 sounds better, though I’m not a hardcore audiophile. I can't describe the differences clearly, but I can say my subjective experience was better. I mostly listen to pop music, not classical, and I don't own high-end cans like the Da Vinci T5 or SHP9500.

Even though the T5's vocals weren't the most beautiful, I still gave it a try. The first ear had no noise at all. That’s why I sent my M1 back — I couldn’t stand the background noise. The N3 had a much darker background, and the erhu sounded more expressive. The vocal positioning was just right, and the separation was better than the M1. At the climax, the T5 didn’t overpower the vocals like the M1 did. I could clearly hear the clean vocals, which was partly due to the T5’s tuning. The final erhu notes were perfectly captured, something I didn’t experience with the M1. With the SHP9500, the experience was similar.
**2. Audio Source: Chen Hongyu – "On the Way" FLAC 44.1kHz/16bit**
Not sure why I’ve been into this lately. It reminds me of the 80s, a time of ups and downs. For the first time, I actually thought it was a 40-year-old uncle (cold). The unique atmospheric feel of the Kaiyin N series came through, with better separation than the M1. The M1 felt oppressive, as if the voice was forced. The N3, on the other hand, felt more like a music poet singing slowly with a guitar. The harmonics were natural and blended well with Chen Hongyu’s voice. The tambourine had less bass and more elasticity. The M1’s low end was too heavy with the T5. Oh, and sometimes when a song ended, the N3 would make a small pop sound. I asked the official about it, and they said it was due to a change in the 4490 pot. It’s a minor issue with high-sensitivity, low-impedance headphones, and even the M2S hasn’t solved it yet. A bit disappointing.
**Summary:** This is another trial from Kaiyin. It’s portable, has good build quality, and excellent tuning. The craftsmanship is solid, but the user interface requires some getting used to. At 999 RMB, it speaks volumes about their sincerity. I can’t say if it’s worth it for everyone, but if you want to relax while exercising, dive into HIFI, or enjoy music on the go, the N3 might be a great choice.
In the end, I wish Kaiyin better and better. Next time, I’d love to hear your 666 combo.
