A bit annoyed whenever I see the in-line remote, is there really demand for that?

I guess the answer is obviously "yes" !

Most music enthusiasts will use their smartphone along with their daps with budget to mid tier iems and it's very helpful to have an in-line remote. However, the cable is removable and further to my knowledge the original F9 came with 2 cables to suits both balanced and unbalanced needs, even if the Pro doesn't you won't have any issue to find a good mmcx cable for less than $50.

Furthermore, technology has greatly improved to avoid issues related to in line remotes.

I understand. This is what made me buy the F9 SE (is not about sound quality, I just don't like "extra" stuff on my cable and had no use for the balanced one).

Newbie, pratical question here about connecting the 2.5mm balanced cable to a phone :
Would using an adapter result in quality loss?
Any recommended 2.5 to 3.5 adaptors?

Well, it might, but it's not very likely. Besides, why not just use the 3.5mm cable that's included?

Hi, yeah using the supplied 3.5mm single ended jack would be the best choice. However if you need a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter, one of the best available is the Fiio L26. I have it and the SQ is great and no audio sound loss detected to my ears at least. More details here http://m.fiio.net/en/products/60
