Did a quick online search and as far as I can tell, the JBL headphone you use - while does has a 2.5mm jacket on the headphone's end, is not meant as a 4 poles balanced connection but only as a 3 poles single ended connection that prevent the user from inserting the wrong end of the included headphone cable into the headphone.

Anyway, it means your headphone DOES NOT support balanced cable, nor internally wired to support balanced input. Don't bother to buy any balanced cable for it.

Thats what i think also, but why the hell they sell this balanced cable not balanced headphones???

I dont meaning buy cable, but that sennheiser cable what i own is the same cable what they sell in jbl....

I dont want to risk connect this same cable to jbl -> fiio if there is a small risk it brake the dac.....
