Poly in itself is a music player equipped with a microSD card slot for storing huge libraries, freeing up some space in your device. Playback can be controlled using everyday apps on your mobile device, whether it be streaming or playing music directly from the microSD card.

It directly connects to Mojo’s audio-processing technology to significantly improve the quality of streamed music. This innovative design allows mobile devices to become Hi-Fi audio players. The smartphone is the controller, while high-level processing is done on the Poly and Mojo.

Poly can also be used with computers and laptops, and access audio files stored on NAS drives through popular DLNA apps. Playback is done through the Mojo’s twin headphone jacks. It can also be connected to in-car audio systems with auxiliary inputs.

It can connect to and remember Wi-Fi networks, including mobile hotspots on the go. It benefits from Bluetooth 4.1, AirPlay, and DLNA connectivity, and can also act as a hotspot itself. Its rechargeable battery offers up to 9 hours of up time from four hours of charging.
