I just noticed something weird with my Mojo.. It's very lightly microphonic. With my FLC 8S' plugged in I was messing around with USB OTG cables and my phone and noticed with or without anything plugged into it, when you tap it or knock it against the table it'll pick up the noise. It's very very light but definitely picks it up. 
 
Does anyone else's Mojo do this?

  If anyone else is paranoid about the evils of dust and debris getting in the unused/seldom used ports then this will tame your OCD:

Man, I always thought after many years in this hobby nothing really can surprise me. And then I have to realize I was wrong. :)

They are actually for phones but I took it one step further with mine. I used some black sewing thread and a needle and sewed it through the caps and taped the end of the thread to the inside of the case. When I need to charge or access the headphone port the caps stay attached to the thread and aren't lost. 
 
I suppose if you have the case for the Mojo the same thing could be done.

i think relic had suggested that i just listen to only it and nothing else for 2 weeks straight.
...then return to what  was listening to beforehand to find the contrast.

 
i think i might try this myself

Do you mean that only the IEMs are connected to the Mojo when this happens? Is it on or off?

Do you guys have any idea if the Mojo will work with the Samsung Galaxy S2?

Unfortunately not...

that is one reason i`m glad i`m not as `seasoned`as are many on here, too, lol.
what i don`t know in terms of better sound and thus costing me more $$$ won`t hurt me.
sure i`d love to listen to an AK 320 or whatever with $1k iems...but i`m also afraid to open that can of worms.

sometimes in this gig, as we climb higher up the sonic ladder towards better $$$ sound,
it seems so easy to lose sight of the forest for the trees.

It's only microphonic if the mojo is powered. It's an active circuit sound if that makes sense.. If I unplug them and tap the plug, nothing, if I turn the unit off and tap it, nothing, if it's on and I tap it, I can very gently hear it.
