At first glance it looks like a guitar effects jack or an old one player go out and listen to music, but this Moondrop MIAD 01 is a Chinese cell phone whose main goal is to attract the attention of music lovers.
Its main feature is a phone with two headphone jacks: a 4.4mm jack and a more mid-range 3.5mm unbalanced port. The largest port supports 4 VRMs and is designed specifically for advanced headphone users who require a more reliable connection.
Moondrop is a Chinese company that makes audio equipment, including planar headphones and in-ear monitors (essentially wired headphones designed for better sound isolation). The $399 MIAD 01 is designed to support high-quality audio.
It also has its own dedicated Cirrus Logic Master DAC (digital-to-audio converter) and additional shielding to separate the audio layer from the rest of the phone. It also supports up to 2TB of additional storage for music lovers to include their own audio tracks.
“The increasing complexity of 5G smartphones and the disappearance of the headphone jack are taken for granted by most users, but for people who love music and value sound quality, these developments are problematic. “Music lovers are craving a solution that doesn’t require them to carry around a bulky hi-fi player or connect their smartphones to external decoders and amplifiers,” say the folks at Moondrop.
Some technical characteristics of the model:
- 6.7-inch OLED screen with FHD resolution and refresh rate up to 120Hz.
- The phone uses MediaTek Dimensity 7050 processor.
- Processor with 8-core chipset
- 5000 mAh battery with a promised runtime of two days,
- 256 GB internal memory and 12 GB RAM
