Product Description
A common request among members of the Audiophile Community, this 4-pin XLR-to-2.5mm TRRS adapter is the easiest way to connect 2.5mm balanced cables to the balanced outputs on some of your favorite amplifiers. It works with the Massdrop x MEE audio 2-pin balanced cable set and all other balanced cables currently sold on Drop, and makes a great complement to the Massdrop x Alex Cavalli Liquid Carbon X amp and the Massdrop x THX AAA™ linear amp Read More

Hi 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!

In my not so humble opinion anyone who needs this adapter is a victim of a snake-oil peddler. Believing that balanced headphone cables have benefits is similar to wearing a tinfoil hat, except the tinfoil hat will protect your head from rain.

jm090Never argue with an idiot, they will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

TamPrsYeah, that would be killer. I see more and more headphones coming out with a 4.4mm Pentaconn connection for their balanced operation (looking at you Audio Technica MSR7b), so that would be cool. Considering that 2.5mm is usually strictly for portable use, I suppose 4.4mm is a logical step for the industry as it would, if nothing else, offer a more robust, reliable connector than 2.5mm while not being as bulky as 6.35mm. But adapting it to XLR is a must IMO.

Fwiw, I really like the KK adapters on amazon. I ended up getting the XLR-to-4.4mm version. In my case, the extra bit of cable with the adapter allows me to use portable cable lengths (1.4m) without feeling too tethered to my desktop. Expensive, but it's at least good wire.

If Massdrop can manufacture a 1/4"female to 4 pin XLR male AND vice-versa, it would be a godsend .
This doesn't exist on the market whatsoever and would be a revolution, eliminating sound-altering cabling on current types of XLR adaptors/extensions.
I know the connector might be bulky, but it's totally worth it!
