    Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆

    Update on my Mojo soap opera: after removing the battery The Mojo works fine and there are no more random shutdowns. The weirdest thing is even the humming / buzzing also stops in 15-30 seconds after I start it. Al in all - I'll keep using it. Less than happy with Chord (on my black list) but so...

    Much appreciated! If that was the only problem for my Mojo I'd be tempted...

    65$ for a battery or to replace the battery? Which dealer - if you don't mind sharing?

    Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆

    I've had it with my POC Mojo. It started shutting down randomly after 1 year of use; the battery hasn't been charging after 18 months - at all. Now it makes some humming sound right after being plugged in - more often than not. When I called the shop who sold me this POC and asked about the...

    Massdrop x Focal Elex Review & Measurements

    I have to correct a statement made on this forum about my Elex. They do not distort. I had 2 (not 1 but 2) recordings that are poorly engineered and I overreacted thinking it was the Elex. Using other good headphones I came to the conclusion that the Elex accentuates those recording deficiencies...

    Well - I toned down my post. The likelihood is (as you said) they might just be defective. Working on the return.

    Massdrop x Focal Elex Review & Measurements

    After a few days of critical listening to some of my favorite recordings I made a very disappointing discovery - Elex suffers from really high distortion even at moderate levels. I am not even turning them loud, I have a fairly sensitive hearing. Around half way on volume of my iPhone the sound...

    Massdrop x Focal Elex Review & Measurements

    Ok - first thing first. The clamping is fine - no problems. Elex is not heavy or at least it doesn't appear to be; a few months ago I gave up my LCD-4 because of clamping and weight. Secondly - I thoroughly checked for sibilance - none. Now I am enjoying the new headphones on my Chord Mojo :)...

    Massdrop x Focal Elex Review & Measurements

    All is fine. Massdrop should have charged 1$ more and have FedEx deliver rather than USPS - or ship it as fragile. Anyway - super nice box, and superb looking headphones. Listening to them as I type. Happy with my purchase so far.

    Massdrop x Focal Elex Review & Measurements

    My headphones were just delivered - my wife heard the package falling on our concrete porch... The USPS employee just threw it - probably from distance. Massdrop is cheap - the race to the bottom... I'll see if the headphones are ok when I get home.
