I wonder what the point would be of something like the pw audio mojo 4.4 adapter. Looks way cooler tbh but then how would that sound.

PWA is using occ copper for its pigtail adapter, so that as well as its storied reputation is driving the $87 retail. As to its non-pigtail adaptor for $87, the fact that it is longish means there is going to be pressure on the Mojo 3.5mm connector/jack. I recall there used to be a Mojo specific adaptor by PWA that plugs in to both of the Mojo’s 3.5mm jacks to give you a balanced output, but I don’t know if they make it anymore.

Yeah no I was talking precisely about the latter and it can still be bought.

adapters all sound different...you wont know till you try. i havent been a fan of the ddhifi ones. The Cayin 4.4 to 3.5 one was more dynamic from my expeirence and now i use a pw audio one on my hugo

okay, good to know. I’ll have to check it out again and see if I can justify the cost, it wasn’t cheap.

 

[jwbrent]

$169, hmmm, yeah, I might go for this instead.

Headfonia review on the Mojo 2.

On the topic of cases, I quite prefer this version of the Mojo case over current Mojo 2 case. The contrasting red stitching, leather grain, and sloppy construction on the Mojo 2 case looks terrible. Hopefully, Dignis will remedy that.

I’m also a big fan of the hard case, fingers crossed for a mojo 2 variant.

One more vote for the hard case

I was looking forward to the reveal, but it ain't for me. Strikes me that this is more Mojo 1.5. A fundamental design / positioning choice was to keep the same footprint as the original and to maintain compatibility with Poly, whereas I was hoping for a unit that combined Poly-like functionality from the get go (and maybe a 1/4" headphone socket!). I obviously understand that such choices would mean that the unit would be bigger, but it would still be smaller and more elegant than Mojo + Poly.

I was an early adopter of Mojopoly, and my experience with two separate units and 'That App' (which I understand has since improved) means that my bar for entry for another Mojo-level unit is set pretty high.

(my desktop headphone rig is Chord, so I do generally their stuff)

is there some sort of official way to switch it so you only get L or R out of each 3.5mm for balanced or do they not support it at all?

It is unbalanced only. Rob Watts explained why the unbalanced is better audio quality in this further back in this thread.

Excellent and well detailed overview of Mojo 2 here at Headphonia.

I heartily concur with this paragraph from the review - loving the Mojo 2 with my HD 800S's

"The Sennheiser HD800S and Mojo 2 combo is excellent. I didn’t expect it to sound this remarkable but I could listen to this all day long. Clarity, precision, excellent PRaT, a good amount of overall body, nice bass impact and all that with a musical presentations. My ears approve."
