I have read every article in this mojo forum, skipping most apple questions and comments, since a few days after it started. I have fallen in love with the idea of the Mojo, even to the point of pre purchasing the ebay connector for my Note 3 and a small Case Logic case for the Mojo. Like many of you, I am very Anal. But I have not, as of yet, purchased the Mojo.
Some of you might ask “Why the hell not?” The answer is uncertainty about whether I can hear the differences everyone is raving about.
I am 60+ with mild tennitus in both ears. I can not hear anything over 12,000 Hz. Even though I understand that my hearing is pretty typical of my age bracket, it does make me wonder if I would be wasting my money to purchase this product.
I do have various amps and dacs with various high quality and low quality headphones. I can easily hear the differences between all.
There is no way I can audition Mojo before purchase due to my location and knowing no one locally who even owns one. Oklahoma City, OK. USA.
I am asking any current owners of the Mojo who have my age or hearing issues, to please respond with a short note as to what YOU can hear and if YOU think the purchase was worth it.
Thank you so much for your time and advise.
Not quite your age, but have had my hearing tested and I have suffered some degree of hearing loss. All the same I personally bought blind on the strength of HiFi mag reviews but I did not join or read this thread until I had my Mojo for about 2 weeks.
I have not regretted my decision in the slightest, but the jump in quality from my previous equipment was substantial IMO coming from a Fiio DAC/AMP E18. I do believe you will hear a difference
I am just shy of you in years and share age related hearing concerns when laying out money on this hobby. I have been lucky, in that with patience, I have been able to repeatedly audition most items of interest to me. In the case of the Mojo two opportunities to audition it went bad so I ended up buying blind and have not regretted it at all. Read all the good comments posted here, discount the bad, and that is what I received hardware wise. Sound wise, every time I upgrade my kit I find more tracks in my collection with flaws in the recording/mastering. Mojo added to my list... You will hear a difference, just not the same as a twenty year old will. As you can easily differentiate between your amps, DACs, and headphones you ought to be good to go Mojo as well. On a bang per dollar measure Mojo scores well. A worthwhile purchase in my opinion. Once I have done my research I have found that further time spent in deliberations would have been better spent enjoying the gear I was considering. Just lost eleven months on a WA22.
If OneTallGuy is in a position to purchase this, go for it I say a more than worthwhile investment for most and hopefully for them too
Yep! I had it in my basket yesterday and almost pressed buy but remembered in time that I am out of money this month! Amazon make it too easy - they even deliver same day or on a Sunday to fuel your impulse buying...
Hope you enjoy the Mojo! Let us know how you get on!
Don't you just love that (my wallet disagrees as I have just bought my 4th set of eartips in 2 days)
