GUCraftsman 3.5mm Stereo Male to 2.5mm Balanced Female Portable Headphone Adapter Cable 6N Single Crystal Silver Headphone Jack Convert Cable for Audio Players with 3.5mm Ports

This adapter is perfect for wat I want. It's compact and really well made using quality materials and precision. It comes in a little box with foam padding and a cut out to hold the product. Very impressed and looks nothing like the typical item in bag that's often sold in the UK. Now I'll order a 2.5mm to 4.4mm.

Does it exactly what it says - well. No issues with disconnects or sound quality. Good value for money

Excellent adapter, no problem so far. I'm using the HD490 Pro with 4.4mm bal cable on the Qudelix 5K, which only has 2.5mm bal output.

Very pricey for what it is but it's well made works fine feels goodSounds fine fits my cable and is a tight connection making it convenient

Perfect size and build quality for connecting my balanced 4.4mm headphone / jack into a MacBook Air M2.

Does what it’s meant, looks stylish too

So I upgraded my IEM cable, which came with the 4.5mm jack!(My bad, didn't realise at the time of purchase)This worked very well getting the cable reduced back to a 3.5mm connection, I gave it 4 stars more so for the value aspect.It's a tad expensive for what it is, but that said, I guess you get what you pay for.A very well made cable/converter, that does what you need it to do, so don't let the price put you off!The cheaper versions of these converters looked very poorly made to say the least!It's still going strong after a few weeks of constant use also... let's hope that continues to do that :D

I presume I just got a bad one, but it repeatedly tripped the protection circuit on my headphone amp (Fiio Q7, Beyerdynamic Amiron headphones with official balanced cable) so I guess there was an internal short somewhere in the adapter. Thank goodness for the protection circuit or this could have been very expensive!Amazon returns were superb as always, and I bought a similar adapter from another manufacturer which works fine, so definitely a problem with this adapter rather than my headphones, cable or amp.
