We are excited to finally offer the adapter we have been hinting about. Several observant individuals have noticed the adapter used in photos of previous Drops and have asked questions.  Wait no longer!

Now you can get the most out of any IEM or headphone cable terminated with a 2.5mm TRRS connector. This adapter helps you use the balanced output from our two balanced amps: Massdrop x Alex Cavalli Liquid Carbon X and Massdrop x THX AAA 789. The Cavalli Liquid Carbon X amp was originally designed as a balanced IEM amp by Alex Cavalli.  The balanced topology allowed Alex to use very low noise specific parts in the design and the low gain has been set for IEM use. The THX AAA 789 amp low gain setting was also specifically designed to be able to drive very sensitive IEMs with an inaudible noise floor.    BALANCED DRIVE Improvements in bass definition, overall control of the drivers, and a lower noise floor overall are some of the potential benefits of a balanced system.   HOW DO YOU USE IT? Use this adapter with the balanced 2.5mm TRRS cables that we have been offering as an additional option with the Massdrop x Noble X IEM, the Massdrop x Noble Kaiser 10 IEM, and the Massdrop Plus IEMs.

The adapter also works with our new Massdrop x MEE audio 2-pin Balanced Cable and Adapter set. The Balanced Cable and adapter set can be purchased here and used with most 2-pin connector IEMs: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-x-mee-audio-2-pin-balanced-cable-set

READY TO GO We hope to provide an easy and affordable way for anyone interested in building a balanced listening system. For many, this is the ultimate way to listen to your IEMs or headphones that can use a balanced cable. The adapter is entering directly into our Massdrop Made store with immediate inventory to ship within one business day!

T.FernandezAny chance of a 4.4mm version of this adapter?
RiflemanFirstI just came here to ask the same thing! I would love one to convert that new 4.4mm end on some new headphones I am considering buying.

T.FernandezAnother vote for a 4.4mm version! (4.4mm female to male XLR to be clear :) ).
Dr.KennethNoisewaterI ended up buying this for the time being: (removed link because it was garbage!) They also have a shorter version that is closer to an adapter rather than an extension. It works great. The polarities were right and it took two weeks to get to Canada from China. The cable is thick like a garden hose! :)

Dr.KennethNoisewater這個玩具看起來很遜~~
babytimIt actually turned out to be junk with short circuits inside and I had to get my money back. I did find the link to the ones Massdrop is renaming as their own. I'm thinking of getting one from there and then I can post a link.

Dr.KennethNoisewaterI know i'm many months late on this, but ouch, did you ever find what you needed? I've been using this for quite a while, and it's pretty fantastic, if not a little expensive https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FSR8MXH/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07FSR8MXH&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExQlZMMEVZUkdXWlBKJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjcwNDUwR0lRQjZCRTNUS09JJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA3Mzg3NDAzU1BJNlFDNFZGMVUzJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfZGV0YWlsJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ== it uses the Neutrik nc-mxx XLR connector, which is very high quality, the bit of extension cable is nicely braided and feels almost as good as my Linsoul HC-08 IEM cable. The whole thing feels, and looks like it was put together by an audiophile, the neutrik XLR connector choice I'm a particular fan of. I have the 2.5mm, but they make a 4.4 as well, though it's another 10 dollars or so. Thinking about picking it up, as I was hoping massdrop would bring a 4.4 to offer with the 2.5, and they haven't still.
tooitchyHi there! I did find a good one. The link you provide to Amazon looks like a nice one too. I got mine from here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32963167200.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.58284a9e6S7Eaw&algo_pvid=c2333076-f4fd-4b67-b7c5-2d78444966d9&algo_expid=c2333076-f4fd-4b67-b7c5-2d78444966d9-0&btsid=f20fc2d4-d7f8-4c16-b144-2aca9874d804&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_53 It plugs right into the amp so it is very convenient as I've been making most of my cables with 4.4mm ends now and it's like the amp has a built in 4.4mm connector because it's right there with no cable. Thanks for helping out with the link. You never know what you are going to get from these random sellers but someone else linked me to Aliexpress for this one and told me that theirs worked great. I can give it a +1 as well!
