Fusion of Professional Music Player and Smartphone: MOONDROP's First 5G HiFi Audio Smartphone 'MIAD 01' Launches May 22

MOONDROP Co., Ltd. announced the launch of the 'MIAD 01 5G HiFi Audio Smartphone' on May 22, 2026, consolidating both smartphone functionality and professional streaming music player capabilities into a single device.

'MIAD 01' is a new concept smartphone developed for users who love high-quality portable audio. It combines the convenience of the Android OS with professional acoustic design comparable to high-end pure audio players (DAPs).

Background: The Perfect Fusion of Smartphone and Authentic Portable Audio

With the proliferation of streaming services, it has become easier to enjoy high-resolution audio. However, traditional smartphones have struggled to fully drive high-end headphones and earphones due to audio quality limitations and terminal restrictions.

MOONDROP, a brand with a history of developing numerous earphones and headphones, has focused its acoustic expertise on creating 'MIAD 01'. It allows users to carry a no-compromise 'HiFi audio experience' in their pocket without sacrificing daily smartphone convenience.

Key Features of 'MIAD 01'

- Dynamic Range: 132dB
- S/N Ratio: 117dB
- Maximum Output Voltage: 4Vrms (balanced) / 2Vrms (unbalanced)

Uncompromising High-Quality Audio Output System

Equipped with 4.4mm balanced and 3.5mm stereo mini jacks directly on the top, the device bypasses Android's SRC to maintain original audio quality. The independent audio circuit module, shielded from electromagnetic interference like 5G waves, uses a 6-layer immersion gold acoustic PCB and is powered by an independent LDO power supply for clean electricity. Furthermore, the inclusion of two Cirrus Logic 'MasterHIFI' DAC chips ensures high-power output, wide dynamic range, and low noise/distortion.
