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.

The new Meizu 21 PRO is here.

This phone’s main feature is being an open AI terminal, open to all large AI models while also unlocking SOC edge AI and API computing capabilities. From this perspective, Meizu going all-in on AI is truly impressive.

The Meizu 21 PRO continues the family-style design in its overall appearance, with Meizu’s signature touches evident in both the screen and camera layout. The Meizu 21 PRO comes in four colors: Laurel Green (vegan leather), Starry Night Black, Meizu White, and Glacier Blue. The unit I have is white, Meizu’s flagship color. I quite like the white—it’s clean and simple, and the feel in hand is different from before because it’s now more slender.

As usual, let’s start with the dimensions. The phone measures 154.98mm * 74.42mm * 7.98mm, with the vegan leather version weighing 208g and the glass version at 214g. The 74mm width makes it appear much slimmer compared to most phones on the market, which range from 76mm to 78mm wide.

Moving on to the screen,

Back in the day, when we were still playing "Snake" on those basic brick phones, who would’ve thought that one day, smartphones would become this intelligent—capable of chatting with us and helping us get things done?

But the arrival of the Meizu 21 Pro seems to be telling us: "The future you imagined is already here."

Before you scroll down, let’s cover some background. In 2023, as AI large-model technology became a hot topic, the smartphone market—a melting pot of innovation—saw major players rushing to capitalize on the AI wave.

While everyone was busy cramming AI into their phones, Meizu, a veteran smartphone manufacturer, suddenly announced it would halt traditional phone development and fully transition to AI phones.

To make this shift, they made a bold move by releasing an open AI terminal device—the Meizu 21 Pro. In short, they ditched traditional smartphones to aim for something bigger.

1. Unboxing
Starting with the back, three cameras and a flash are aligned in a straight line,

The Meizu PANDAER 40W AI small TV trendy charger can be considered a very "unique" charger. It breaks away from the conventional square design, adopting a retro black-and-white TV style. The "TV screen" on the front allows real-time viewing of the charging status, and the overall design is compact, making it truly fitting to call it an ultra-"mini" small TV trendy charger.

Breaking free from aesthetic fatigue, the IP image is one of a kind
For most people born in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, the first glance at this Meizu PANDAER 40W AI small TV trendy charger will definitely evoke a strong sense of nostalgia. Its overall appearance closely resembles that of an old-fashioned black-and-white TV, with a "TV screen" on the front displaying the word "LOADING," reminiscent of the no-signal state of old TVs. Additionally, the use of IML technology ensures that the surface is not only smooth but also wear-resistant and colorfast, maintaining its exquisite appearance for a longer time.

Especially noteworthy

Starting with the exterior design, many people nowadays like a product based on its design. From an engineering aesthetic perspective, a good product must start with its appearance, remain loyal to its performance, and have a design that gives it a soul.

The design of the PANDAER 40W AI Small TV Trendy Charger is quite unique, featuring a TV-shaped design with a retro style. It somewhat resembles the old black-and-white TVs at home.

The appearance is somewhat cartoonish, cute, and also has a retro feel. Overall, it’s very well-designed.

On the side, there are heat dissipation vents, a power plug, and two Type-C ports. You can take a look at the overall exterior design, which uses IML process coating and features a status light that flickers, bringing the small TV image to life. The craftsmanship and texture are quite impressive!.

The status light design is the soul of the product, with very lively colors. Five statuses and four colors, the iconic "PANDAER" looks even cooler when charging.

Many people, when they first get this product, can't find where the charging port is. This is also the most common "negative" comment in the product review section on Meizu's official store. This also shows how novel and artistic the Meizu PANDAER 40W AI Mini TV Trendy Charger is.

Judging from the appearance of this product, PANDAER did not design it as a charger from the beginning, but rather as a trendy ornament, a retro trendy item, and only at the final stage endue it the characteristics of a charger, and a 40W dual USB-C port charger at that.

This is PANDAER's first GaN charger, apart from Apple's, to adopt the Ultra-Sense Stable Connection technology. It supports multiple fast-charging protocols such as PD, PPS, QC, SCP, and FCP, making it perfectly compatible with Apple products as well as other brands, supporting up to 40W super fast charging.

Since it is an AI mini TV, let's take a look at what the screen of this mini TV has to offer. This product, just like the black and white
