Nice Review 👍. You could try Mojo2's crossfeed function to make them sound like speakers. That should work for the 'Classical Gas' song. Cheers 😇

I'm told that Rob Watts himself said that the inclusion of Balanced would have a deleterious effect on the sound due to the way the Mojo is configured.

Great video - I love Mojo 2.

So you can basically run through the mojo 2 not so good mastered tracks, record output to daw for example and have decent result, better than they were before

What are your thoughts about the Mojo 2 in a hifi setup?

Mojo is a single-ended design. A balanced headphone output would require signal conversion. That would mean possibly larger chassis, more battery power used, would unnecessarily increase the price of the device and could even degrade the sound if not done properly, that is if fair budget not spent for the conversion. All of that totally pointless, with no sound quality gain whatsoever for the end listener. Apart from their empty satisfaction of using balanced output. Also the use of USB-C did not do anything for the sound quality. Still the same USB Audio 2.0 protocol is being used. But it certainly increased the cost of chassis mod. This shows the stupidity of some 'audiophiles' who shed tears on forums, because 'their smartphone uses USB-C'. Many 'freshmen' audiophiles became smartphone fashion followers and cry babies, trying to tearfully apply their fashion into the world of faithful music reproduction. Very sad. And really, really stupid, because of the additional cost and design compromise it took for Chord to add USB-C for the cry babies' sake.

Mojo2 needed the glass window like the Hugo..! ✌

Hi everybody, I owned the mojo 2 And I bought a mojo to modify. Believe me, the mojo one is a mojo 2 when you modify it, The output capacitors degrade the sound of the mojo shut in and veiled sound without mods

Hey, thanks for your review! It got me to doubt getting the Mojo2 though, as I listen to a lot of metal and perhaps some less than perfect recordings… Would the first Mojo be the better choice for me, you think?

Here's my take on the mojo 1. Ok, so it sounds great through headphones or a hifi. However, it isn't mobile joy, more like mobile frustration. It is too big to fit in your pocket along with your phone, even a small phone. This confinement causes it's buttons to be pressed, turning it off. Why no option to lock the buttons. The confinement also causes your phone's touch screen to activate. I tried a screen lock app, but obviously it won't lock the mojos buttons. Also, the confinement causes the usb to be bunched up and loose it's connection. Sometimes this results in the worst noise you will ever hear in your life. Why don't they have a protection feature to stop this. The noise is so bad it could literally give some people a heart attack. Finally, there is no EMF shielding. It picks up the noise from your phone if it is next to it. Turning on airplane mode solves this, but then you can't receive calls. If your're after great sound you will only get it if you use this as a desktop device. It isn't mobile in the slightest. Also, it picks up awful noise when charging through a usb cable. It can only be used unplugged from a charger.

I am very curious about the USB hub that is used in the setup

which one of the headphones did you like the most with the chord mojo 2?

Has anyone tried the mojo2 with any of the senn hd6x0 series cans?

Got my mojo 2 about a month now, Iistening right after switched on, can be described as rather unpleasant, treble are harsh, bass are loose and imaging are all jumbled up. It'll need 15-20mins to warm up ,then one noticed a dramatic improvement. Anyone experienced this as well?

Oh man, if it had a balanced output I would immediately start saving up for it.

You should've done a Headphone blow-a-thon

Mojo2 and hd600 thoughts?

No - booooo balanced - unnecessary and clogs the design for NO reason.
