DD ddHiFi All-New DJ44B Aluminum Version 4.4mm Balanced Female to 2.5mm BAL Male Headphone Jack Adapter, Audio Converter for Earphones/Headphones

Everything I've gotten from DD HiFi has been extremely top notch quality and very rugged. I'll continue buying their products for life. They not only have amazing build quality, but they also use the best materials AND technology as well. Add in their reasonable prices and you can't go wrong with them.If you want the absolute BEST adapters, cables and IEM accessories, look no further than DD HiFi. They might cost more than other similar devices and brands, but it's TOTALLY worth it IMO. You get what you pay for! I prefer them even more than more expensive products from the bigger name companies!I tried the much much cheaper Geekria adapters, and I'm sure they work fine too, but the comparison is just night and day in build quality. And I know that these are going to last me many years and possibly decades. I also know these are 100% wired probably and won't damage my gear. I prefer 2.5mm balanced cables since my Shanling Audio M5s DAP has that, so I'll probably buy another one of these just to have as a backup! But I can rest assured knowing my 2.5 -> 4.4mm connection is as good as the REST of my audio chain, which is VERY important to me! I ALWAYS want the best quality regardless of what it is I'm buying and DD HiFi definitely gives me that satisfaction! I didn't spend thousands on my different IEM setups and accessories just to go cheap on a vital adapter LoL 😁I am drooling over the new DD HiFi high end IEM cables. They're really expensive ($350-400 i believe), but I'm sure they're definitely worth it. Now they've done what Effect Audio has with their Con-X connectors at the IEM end, so you can easily replace them with (MMCX) or (2-Pin .78) depending on the IEM's you have. DD HiFi is ALWAYS striving to improve their skills and inventory and it clearly shows.I typically don't write many reviews, so I made this one as informative as I can for a simple adapter. So sorry for the fanboy style review. Believe it or not, but I DIDN'T get any free product or endorsement for this review, or ANY review I've ever done in my entire life! I pay for everything out of my own pocket just like everyone else. I'm just very passionate about my hobbies and if I believe in something and it's been proven to me over time, then I recommend it. It's really that simple. So for the price and quality, I personally haven't seen anything better than DD HiFi products at really any price level and I want others to enjoy their audo with as much passion, obsession and transformation as I do hahaha 🤣 HIGH QUALITY audio of my live recordings can take me back to that EXACT same place in time and location that myself and my microphones were at that moment. It's the ONLY time machine that I know of....But I DO own MANY DD HiFi adapters and USB cables and they're all literally bombproof. So I DO recommend them wholeheartedly 😀

Very pricey but there wasn't anything remotely similar that looked this great.

Fantastic build quality! I have been using 3.5mm IEMs with my Behringer P16, but just got Meyer Audio cklvx d41s, which are 4.4mm and needed an adapter. This adapter works great!!!!!

The noise level definitely got lower when using this product with a proper DAC, also noticeable clarity.DAC / FiioHeadphones / Sony MDR Z7M2

I have 2 other dd HiFi adapters and they are great. I wanted to get this to use with my AK SR15 and 25 and my SA700. I was really impressed with how small it is considering the 4.4 is a beefy size. It works perfectly, I love going to 90 degrees and it looks really nice with my Meze upgrade cable.

I was really enjoying the ddhifi dj44c but it didn’t last even a year of use. I am not sure if it is still within warranty but I am disappointed that the back fell off.EDIT: I reached out to ddHIFI and they sent me a replacement at no cost. THANK YOU for the great customer service!

Well built, and I really appreciate the right angle the the Qudelix 5k, when clipped onto a shirt collar, will have the cables going into your neck. The right angle from the DJ44B atleast makes it go perpendicular and then droop down.

I'm moving from a balanced 2.5 balanced system to a 4.4. A few of my devices needed an adapter. A few adapters are cheaply made and have to be twisted to make work. They have hot and cold spots that drive me crazy. I gave this a try and have been very happy. I have three in use and none have failed or gave me a a single problem. Highly recommended.
