Wooden housing, Naturally charming
through precision CNC, grinding, oiling, air drying and other dozens of complex processes, to create a stable wood ingenuity.
Being made of high-quality aged wood imported from North America, each Melody dongle has its own unique texture and color, with every grain contributing to a unique sound.

The wood has been carefully processed for quality, through precise CNC machining, polishing, oiling, drying, and other intricate processes.
The wooden housing remains timeless thanks to its warm, smooth touch as well as the color naturally darkening over time, becoming ever more lustrous.

Familiar arc
Minted with elegance
The headphone amplifier’s casing and buttons are adorned with FIIO’s signature arcs.
Blade-like elegance merges with the warmth of wood, adding a dynamic touch to a classical design.
The arcs also fit naturally to the fingers, making it enjoyable to use. These small details are just some examples of the user-centric design of the Melody.

RGB sampling rate indicator, Practical yet atmospheric
Different colors correspond to different sampling rates, making it easy to tell at a glance what format the current audio is in.
Decoding state:
*RGB indicator light can be turned off in the FIIO Control APP on Android devices.

Ultra low-power mode Protecting your phone' s battery
Thanks to its advanced built-in microprocessor and FIIO’s cutting-edge software development, Melody delivers excellent audio while making sure power consumption and heat generated are low.
When music playback stops, Melody’s ultra-low standby power consumption drops below 10mA. Set a sleep timer, and the device will seamlessly transition into sleep mode after being inactive for a specified amount of time – no need to worry about waking up to a dead phone the next morning.

Detachable cable, multi-platform support Wide compatibility
The Melody has a detachable cable, and is compatible with Android/iOS/Windows/Mac as well as other platforms.
The Melody supports switching between UAC1.0 and UAC2.0 modes. The UAC1.0 mode makes it compatible with non-Android systems like the PS5 and Switch for a better gaming experience.
