FAQ
Will this work with my existing 4.4mm balanced headphone cable?
Yes — that is exactly its job. It takes a headphone cable terminated in 4.4mm balanced and adapts it to a 4-pin XLR output on desktop amplifiers, so one cable serves both your portable source and your desktop rig with no re-cabling or second cable purchase.
Does it change the sound or add resistance?
It is a passive adapter bridging the two most common balanced standards, so it simply passes the balanced signal from 4-pin XLR to 4.4mm. Expect no meaningful change to your headphone's sound — it exists for connector compatibility, not signal processing.
Does it come with warranty?
Yes. We sell brand-new authorized FiiO stock with full manufacturer warranty, 45-day returns, and free US shipping.
