Condition: Cosmetic scratches
This unit: Cosmetic damage (peeling leather back), no case
What this means: It has some cosmetic marks or scratches. It has been checked and works as it should, and it comes with all its accessories and the manual. Full manufacturer warranty.
The FiiO JM21 is a slim, affordable Android music player, just 13mm thick and 156g, with two Cirrus Logic CS43198 DACs in a fully balanced design and up to 700mW per channel from its 4.4mm output. A Snapdragon 680 runs Android 13 smoothly, so your streaming apps sit alongside your own files on a microSD card.
Fully balanced sound
Two CS43198 DACs and two SGM8262 op-amps form a fully balanced circuit, with separately shielded digital and analogue power supplies. Three gain levels, each with its own volume curve, suit everything from earphones to over-ear headphones, and FiiO’s DAPS system keeps every app playing at its original sample rate.

Good to know
- Need more space and battery? The JM21 with 4GB + 64GB has double the storage and up to 16 hours of playback.
- In USB DAC mode latency is slightly higher, so it is better for music than video.
