Review: My initial sceptism on the concept of IEMatch has been dispelled. - Before I explained why I like this gadget, let me first go through my initial scepticism about iFi’s concept of IEMatch. Such scepticism has now been dispelled. My iFi Gryphon has built in IEMatch, so I tried it out. It seems to have added some resistors to the output power so that on my Shure SE826 (9 ohms) I need to turn up the volume control to 100%. If IEMatch is off, I needed to turn down to 86%. For my Astell & Kern AK T8 (16 ohms), it is 97%/86%; on my Aurisonics ASG2.5 (41 ohms with built-in 22db noise attenuator), the control has to be turned to turbo (more than 100%) before it is loud enough. (The results are similar either on Apple Music or on dff or dsf files, all playing through my android phone.) I do agree with one other reviewer that when IEMatch on my Gryphon switched off, the low is boomy (monotonous) and the mid is exaggerated (irritating) but how do I know if this is not just their marketing trick: make it sound less ideal when IEMatch is off so that people think IEMatch works. After all, before I got my Gryphon, I have been listening via these IE headphones on my AK240 with 2/3 volume and do not have a problem. Then my legacy Grado RA1 headphone amplifier came into the picture. Connected to the AK240 and Grado RS1 (32 ohms), the volume is deafeningly loud if the volume control is turned beyond the 9 o’clock position (AK240 in line-out mode). If turning the volume control of AK240 down and the RA1 up, the low is lost and the mid is too bright. So I bought this gadget to dampen the output of my AK240. The result? I give the gadget 5-star because it allows my legacy Grado to pair with HiRes players instead of just CD players. I can now play my RA1 with output control at 9-12 o’clock and gives very pleasant sound. My Aurisonics ASG2.5 (41 ohms) has been OK with my iFi Go Blu. Unlike the Gryphon, it does not have IEMatch built-in, so the volume control needs to stay below 80% or the sound will become irritating. And so I thought Go Blu can only give OK but not good sound. Adding this gadget? I again agree with the other reviewer who said “the entire presentation became coherent with instrument separation, transparency, details (no sibilance or harshness in the top end) and a punchy bass.” Is this gadget for you? If the sound levels change excessively when your device’s analogue volume control barely turns, this gadget should help. For devices with digital volume control, my AK240 does not need it but my Go Blu performs very well on my Aurisonics 41-ohm headphones. It also sounds different on my Shure and A&K but not as significant as the Aurisonics. Anyway, if you find your mobile set up does not sound good when turning the volume control up, do not blame them until you have tried this output impedance attenuator.
Review: Very nicely made and effective - I bought the IE Match to use with very sensitive IEMs, I regard anything over 105 dB/mw as highly sensitive. It reduces hiss and with some of my IEMs, particularly models that are all balanced armature designs the sound is improved.

## Features

- AUDIO ATTENUATOR- iEMatch reduces the hiss, pops, and background noise that distracts from your music (nearly zero output impedance).The attenuator removes extra sounds and restores the bits of resolution that are lost at regular/low digital volume.
- SAVE YOUR EARS - Instead of blasting music to hear a little more sound, this device expands the volume range where you can hear clear audio on lower volumes (boosts dynamic range). The iEMatch is ideal for in-ear-monitors (IEMs), custom earbuds, or in-ear headphones.
- BALANCED SOUND -The iEMatch can be switched between single-ended or balanced 3.5 outputs with the TRRS jack on both ends. Switch between High or Ultra Sensitivity to match your headphones. Works great as an analog sound adapter for a smartphone, digital audio player and other music sources.
- HEAR MORE MUSIC - The gold-plated 3.5mm balanced connector and 6N silver/copper matrix allow for better signal transfer. Hear all of your music, from the highest soprano to the lowest bass.
- TRAVEL COMFORTABLY - Adapt sound from airplane in-flight systems, Digital Audio Players (DAP), smartphones, portable players, tablets, computers, and more. Includes a velvet pouch, gold-plated airplane adapter, and memory foam contoured earplugs.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the sizes of the male and female ends - 2.5mm or 3.5mm? Thanks**
A: The sizes of the male and female ends are both 3.5mm.

**Q: Will it work with me 2.5mm balanced iems? will i need 2.5mm to 3.5mm convertor? thanks**
A: It is only 3.5mm but does support balanced connections.

**Q: What's the difference between 3.5mm+ and 3.5mm?**
A: I think the iFi iEMatch Plus is essentially an updated version of the original, with minor differences including the cable design and output impedance modifications.

**Q: Would this allow audio equipment via 3.5 jack into iPhone to supply audio in the native camera app for live streaming? Obv via lightening.**
A: This does not support microphones. It would be better to get a usb microphone or an audio interface and a usb to lightning adapter.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It Works as Advertised
*by C***S on 1 March 2021*

First off there is no airplane adapter with the 2.5mm version. Second the balanced version is maybe a little overpriced. However it works exactly as it should and allows me to use my sensitive iems with my mains powered amps. Without this gadget I get annoying hiss and with it, on high setting I get no hiss. So I recommend it if this is what you may wish to do.
