The president of Noble Audio and an audiologist by training, Dr. John Moulton has been delighting the community with beautiful, great-sounding in-ear monitors for years. So much so, in fact, that fans have nicknamed him the Wizard—so when we wanted our own bit of magic, we knew where to turn Read More
Do I need to get the optional lightning cable or optional Noble 2.5mm TRRS cable to have better sound quality to use directly with just my iPhone SE? Or could I use the already included 2-pin braided 3.5mm TRS cable?
Philo_Ph1leI didn't think any phone had a 2.5mm balanced output, though. Am I wrong? The question states the user desireds "use directly with just my iPhone SE" which AFAIK has only a single ended 3.5mm jack.
sejarzoYou are totally correct, I'd bet there isn't a phone made that has a 2.5mm port. Or any port more and more thanks to Shnapple, I hate them so much in some ways but I'm not committed to that and they really kicked ass when, as Bill Burr called him, "nerd Jesus" was around. I feel like I live in a world that used to be an idea in Steve's mind. And then if you read his deathbed letter and don't fall apart you need to go to a therapist. Yeah so the point of all that is get a DAP to accommodate from getting screwed up the AUX again. Decent Daps are available well under 100 dollars or 11 iPhone XSs'. This is just my experience but I was flattened when I plugged that damn balanced cable in. I just ordered the Tripoine cables here with a 4.4mm cuz I guess it's supposed to be better. At least it's more manly, those little baby 2.5 plugs won't impress anyone, but 4.4 and there's no doubt you're packin.
Philo_Ph1leI definitely agree with you on modern smartphones but there were older phones that came with a 2.5mm port (unbalanced since they catered for microphone input). I do recall that an example of a device with a 2.5mm input was the Nokia E71 haha
Any bluetooth cable with 2 pin (.78mm) connectors will work. Also, quite a few small bluetooth recievers out there (Fiio, Hiby, Xduoo all have good offerings).
You'll get a cleaner signal if you use an external DAC (or, in my case, a dedicated audio player like the Hiby R3), but they're pretty sensitive IEM's and you should be able to power them off your phone no problem.
