Fiio Mage USB-C Gaming Sound Card Brings Hi-Fi Audio, 7.1 Surround, and Fast Charging in a Tiny Design
Fiio has introduced the Mage, a compact USB-C Hi-Fi gaming sound card designed for players, music lovers, and mobile users who want better audio without carrying bulky gear. Despite its small size, the Mage packs several practical features, including dual USB-C ports, 60W pass-through charging, virtual surround sound, microphone noise reduction, and multiple 3.5 mm audio connections.
One of the standout features of the Fiio Mage is its dual USB-C setup. This allows users to connect the device to a smartphone, tablet, handheld gaming system, laptop, or console while still charging through the second USB-C port. With support for 60-watt PD fast charging, the Mage is built for longer gaming sessions or extended music playback without forcing users to choose between audio and battery life.
For music playback, the Mage keeps controls simple and accessible. Its D-pad can be used to adjust volume and switch tracks, making it easy to manage audio without touching the connected device. A dedicated button handles play and pause with a short press, while a double press activates 7.1 virtual surround sound for a more spacious listening experience.
Gaming is also a major focus of the Fiio Mage. When connected to a console or compatible gaming device, users can long-press the mode button to switch from music mode to game mode. This helps optimize the sound card for gameplay, where directional audio and clear communication can make a big difference.
Voice chat support is another useful addition. The Mage includes a 3.5 mm microphone input, and one of its buttons can mute the connected microphone instantly. Built-in AI microphone background noise reduction helps cut down unwanted sounds, making in-game communication clearer during online matches, streaming, or team chat.
The device also includes two additional 3.5 mm audio jacks, allowing support for both a headset and headphones. This gives users more flexibility depending on whether they are gaming, listening to music, or switching between different audio setups.
With its pocket-friendly design, USB-C compatibility, 7.1 virtual surround sound, AI noise reduction, and 60W charging pass-through, the Fiio Mage aims to be a convenient audio upgrade for gamers and everyday listeners. It is especially appealing for users who want improved sound quality, easier audio controls, and reliable microphone performance in a portable form factor.
