Dragonfly cobalt black friday1/3/2024 ![]() I’ve used the Chord Mojo 2 with Sennheiser HD660S headphones, Jays Q-Jays, Audeze iSine 20, Grado GS3000e, and a pair of (dreamy) Focal Stellia. What is the Chord Mojo 2, then? If, like me, you’ve often daydreamed about building a really capable music system at home with massive speakers, amps, a mega set of headphones, and all the rest of the high-tech add-ons, but then woke up and realized you don’t have the space or the money, the Mojo 2 is the answer.ĭuring my month with the Mojo 2, I’ve been spoiling myself by plugging in some amazing headphones, and it has been worth it. There’s no Bluetooth connection, so if you can’t give up your wireless headphones, it won’t be for you. It’s not overly heavy at 185 grams, but the many cables you have to deal with make it annoying, as well as an accident waiting to happen. It’s not really suitable for listening to music on the go either. The Mojo 2 deserves a great pair of headphones, and so do your ears. If you’re planning to use the EarPods that came with a long-retired iPhone 6, don’t bother. Andy Boxall/Digital TrendsĬhord says the Mojo 2 is designed to work with any pair of headphones, and while this is factually true, it’s really wasted on a pair of average headphones. The Chord Mojo 2 turns your smartphone into an incredibly powerful music machine, but to fully appreciate its talents, you’ve got to commit to it. Before we get into how the Mojo 2 works and sounds, we should get into how it fits into your life. Living with Mojoįair warning here, there’s going to be some talk that makes me sound like an audiophile. It’s a bit messy and may require additional expense if you don’t have the right adapter already, but you’ll get over it when you listen. If you have an iPhone, you need the Lighting-to-USB Camera Adapter, which costs $29 and connects to the Mojo 2’s USB Type-A-to-Micro USB adapter. ![]() To get the sound from the Mojo 2 to your phone, you use a USB Type-C-to-Type-C cable if you have an Android phone - it worked instantly with my Galaxy S21 Ultra and OnePlus 9 Pro. This is a small black box that you will buy because of what’s inside, not what it looks like on the outside. That’s it for flashy design elements, though. It’s best enjoyed at home, but the anodized black finish should prove hardwearing if you do carry it about in a bag.ĪTC’s CDA2 Mk2 will make you want to put the phone away and dig out your CDsįire the Mojo 2 into life, and the four buttons all light up in different colors, and they all dynamically change when you press them to activate different functions, too. I don’t really see it as an out-and-about product, though. But it’ll slide into a bag if you really must take it out with you, plus there’s a battery inside that’s good enough for about eight hours use. It’s not what I’d call a pocketable DAC - although it is a little smaller than the first Chord Mojo - at least compared to many of the USB stick-sized affairs most people will think of. ![]() On the opposite end of the aluminum box, you find dual 3.5mm headphone jacks, so you can listen with a friend. There’s also an optical/coax out and a pair of Micro USB connectors, one for charging and the other for the USB Type-A adapter that comes in the box. There are now four buttons on the front and a new USB Type-C connector, but otherwise, the little box is pretty much identical. ![]() ![]() If you’ve seen the first Chord Mojo, then you’ll see that not much has changed. ![]()
