Meizu Review

The Lifeme Meizu EA2 Fast Charge DAC Headphone Amplifier comes with an independent DAC decoding chip. When using headphones to listen to music, the improvement in sound quality is very noticeable, especially when listening to delicate tracks - the bass becomes more solid, the treble becomes clearer, as if every detail has been amplified.

Moreover, its T-shaped design not only allows connection of 3.5mm headphones, but its PD 27W fast charging capability lets me charge while gaming. If any friends are particular about sound quality, they should definitely give this a try!

Under the current near-universal adoption of Type-C phones, the retention of 3.5mm headphone jacks has become increasingly rare. However, many consumers still prefer using wired headphones or 3.5mm jack-related products. Despite the current popularity of wireless earphones, wired headphones remain favored by many consumers due to advantages like low latency and high stability. Moreover, as various music platforms gradually support lossless audio quality, we've seen audiophiles connecting "small tails" or even "small bricks" to their phones for music playback. These devices not only solve the absence of a 3.5mm jack but also take over the phone's decoding chip responsibilities, providing users with better audio decoding output. Today, we're doing a simple unboxing of the Meizu Lifeme EA2 DAC headphone amplifier.

For music lovers or audiophiles, owning a few high-quality 3.5mm HiFi headphones is a must. However, as smartphones increasingly remove the 3.5mm jack in favor of TWS Bluetooth earbuds, these wired headphones often end up forgotten in drawers.

Even though Bluetooth technology has advanced to version 5.4, improving high-fidelity audio reproduction, it still suffers from latency and bandwidth limitations. In contrast, high-end HiFi headphones remain unmatched in sound quality and haven’t been phased out by Bluetooth.

Initially, phone manufacturers included USB-C to 3.5mm adapters, but with the rise of TWS earbuds, these accessories have been "eco-friendly" removed, leaving 3.5mm headphones with no way to connect.

Meizu, with 20 years of acoustic expertise, offers a practical solution for audiophiles—

The Meizu EA2 Fast-Charging DAC/Amp, which not only revives your unused 3.5mm headphones for high-quality audio but also allows simultaneous charging and listening.

Although Bluetooth earphones are very popular nowadays, if you use your phone to listen to music, audiophiles may feel that Bluetooth earphones are slightly lacking in sound quality. For those who pursue superior audio, wired earphones are recommended for phone music playback. However, if your wired earphones are high-end, high-impedance models, the phone’s output may not fully unleash their potential. In this case, a headphone amplifier is needed to adapt to these mid-to-high-end, high-impedance earphones, enhancing power and refining sound quality for the best audio experience.

Meizu’s headphone amplifier: lifeme HiFi DAC Headphone Amplifier Pro, features dual chips, 60mW output power, and supports 60W fast charging. For audiophiles seeking high-fidelity sound, it can fully revive your high-end earphones.

The design of the Meizu Hi-Fi Fast Charging Headphone Amplifier 2 Pro is similar to some USB-C to 3.5mm adapters on the market, with a USB connector on one end and a USB-C fast-charging

With the official release of the iPhone15, the USB-C port has once again become a hot topic. People are paying attention to devices with USB-C ports and anticipating their applications in audio equipment. However, USB-C headphones on the market have not received unanimous praise, while 3.5mm headphones are widely recognized for their superior sound quality.

To meet the needs of audiophiles, lifeme Meizu recently launched a HiFi decoding headphone amplifier, which perfectly converts the iPhone15's USB-C port into a 3.5mm audio jack, enabling lossless audio output and satisfying users with discerning ears.

In terms of core specifications, the lifeme Meizu HiFi Decoding Headphone Amplifier Pro (Fast Charge Edition) features a Maxim MAX 97220 secondary amplifier chip and a DAC decoding chip, supporting up to 32bit/384KHz lossless audio decoding with an output power of 60mW. Additionally, it uses silver-plated wiring, ensuring almost no transmission loss and

Nowadays, many smartphones have removed the 3.5mm headphone jack. Although wireless Bluetooth earphones are very popular, for many audiophiles, wired earphones remain their favorite.

To continue using wired earphones with smartphones, a decoding headphone amplifier is a great accessory. Besides allowing users to keep using wired earphones, it also significantly helps improve sound quality.

Take this lifeme Meizu HiFi Decoding Headphone Amplifier Pro (Fast Charge Edition) as an example. It adopts a new-generation architecture and top-tier components, combined with a high-performance DAC decoding chip and an independent secondary AMP amplifier, resulting in very low transmission loss.

Moreover, it achieves a 124dB signal-to-noise ratio and 111dB dynamic range, supporting up to 32bit/384KHz PCM decoding output. During my actual experience, the sound quality was indeed better compared to directly using wired earphones.

Have you noticed? The Hi-Fi decoding feature that was once heavily promoted by smartphones has almost disappeared. It seems that since the removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack, fewer and fewer phones are investing in this functionality.

This is understandable—without the 3.5mm jack, users are left with only two options: Bluetooth or Type-C adapters. However, most Bluetooth headphones max out at AAC audio quality, which is a dealbreaker for audiophiles. As for Type-C adapters, the included ones usually offer no real "sound quality," lacking sufficient power. In this case, even high-end headphones will produce lackluster sound.

In reality, many music enthusiasts opt for external DAC/amps to achieve high-fidelity audio beyond what their phones or music players can deliver. So in 2025, Hi-Fi DAC/amps are far from obsolete—instead, they’ve evolved into more specialized smartphone accessories. Among them, Lifeme Meizu’s new professional DAC/amp, the Meizu HD1, is a highly recommended choice!

Music is the soul of life, and high-quality audio is the key to unlocking the charm deep within this soul. As a leader in the audio field, Meizu Technology has always been committed to driving innovation and development in audio technology. To fulfill music lovers' desire for ultimate sound quality, Meizu Technology has meticulously crafted and proudly launched the new HD1 professional decoding headphone amplifier. This amplifier not only represents Meizu's profound understanding and masterful craftsmanship in audio technology but also serves as a heartfelt tribute to music and the ultimate embodiment of the pursuit of sound quality. Next, let us step into the world of this amplifier and experience the unparalleled musical charm it brings.

We might have gotten used to using TWS earphones, especially since most smartphones have abandoned the 3.5mm headphone jack. However, wired earphones still hold an irreplaceable advantage over TWS earphones in terms of stability, latency, and sound reproduction.
