    Rose Technology Discussion & Impressions Thread

    I had rattle on the left side of my Mojitos on lower frequencies at moderate volumes. I returned it to Penon and they sent me another pair with no rattle. I cannot recommend Penon enough as a company to deal with. Especially when it comes to the infamous Rose quality.

    Rose Technology Discussion & Impressions Thread

    While I have not heard the Maysa, I do have the Mojito and have been one of the people who have dealt with some QC issues. The first pair had some driver rattle and the overall build quality seemed a bit amateur-ish for the price. Like what's been previously mentioned, the Mojito is a...

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

    Hi all. Getting ready to pull trigger on the Mojo and I see a few sellers on Amazon: FatWyre, Audio Advice, Audio Advisor, etc. Do you (U.S-based) folks recommend a particular seller (preferably one that is flexible with returns, repairs, etc)? If they're not on Amazon, that's fine too, just...

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

    Hi All. Took a short hiatus from the portable audio scene to find out that the Mojo has been discounted nearly everywhere to $500.00. This device has always been on my radar. Does this discount indicate a new version is on the horizon and/or is this the new price for this device? It seems...

    Unfortunately, I'm in California but have always want to visit Boston. I'll be sure to let you know when I make my visit!

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Out of curiosity, "old school" as in 90's hip hop or more 80's? I'd recommend Monk+ and, if you can spring more, the Ostry KC08. By the way, the new De La Soul album is great if haven't heard it yet (and mastered with quite a big low end bump).

    Earbuds Round-Up

    If you kept reading, the description also mentioned its use with an amplifier. I'm not sure what you're expecting from these, but if you want "amazing" then I believe your expectations may be unreasonable. For me, these are the best earbuds I've heard and own (amped or not). Are they "amazing"...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I've tried it straight out of a Samsung Galaxy S6. It sounded pretty good. I do believe it opens up and has a bit more dynamics with an amp, however.

    Rose Mojito Earbuds

    The thicker cable is not practical at all, considering you're already not confident about the fit. I feel the same way: fit is not great, but long listening sessions are OK. I would go with what is most comfortable/convenient for you, since the sonic differences are minimal.

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Very interested to hear your thoughts on them! I reckon I'll eventually re-order them in the near future. While Rose may not always have the best build quality, they do try to make their customers happy (had to exchange a pair of Mojito and they were very apologetic about it).

    Oh that was the actual email that was sent. I'm assuming it went through a translator beforehand.

    Earbuds Round-Up

    After hearing of ClieOS issues, I canceled my order. I also mentioned these issues to Rose and this is the response I got: "there is a customer bought a Masya engineering earphone before, that earphone is not complete, the current pin is not the same as with the engineering, engineering...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Wow. That's quite unfortunate. Guess I'll see if I can cancel my order. I've always been apprehensive about the Rose build quality. Care to share what issues you encountered with your first pair?

    I never knew that! The chrome housing on BOTH pairs of the Mojito I received had scratches on them.
