Yeah in the meantime I have figured out...though there aren't many headphones these days that I might intersted in.
I have one or two projects however, might make it to a complete balanced 4.4

Probably some mistake on Amazon's part then as that's almost as cheap as the Japanese price without tax.

Not a mistake amazon uk does that sometimes to boost its preorders nobody was buying at £600 at the temporary price of £473 it must have got a lot of preorders hence the price going back so early

There is no adapter, you will need to buy cables and not all headphones are compatible with balanced. If you have headphones with a removable cables on both left and right you can buy a matching cable so you can use it balanced, if it only uses an entry on one side its probably not compatible to be used balanced, but there are some exceptions like the Sony MDR-1A or the oppo pm3

How about headphones with a removable 6,3mm jack so that a 3,5 mm remains? Are there balanced adapters for that, or are these not balanced? Thanks

Balances means that both drivers have a + and -, so 4 connections on the end. So Ever connector with 3 connection points are not compatible. Also 4 connection points 3.5mm connectors are not compatible most of the time because one of the 4 connections is for the mic.

Connections that you can convert to balanced need to be balanced in the first place. For example, 4-pin XLR, dual 3-pin XLR or 2.5mm balanced.

Be aware that there are some adapters out there that convert non balanced to balanced connection type but that doesn't work and you defeat any purpose of balanced and you might damage your decide. You can only convert balanced connections on a headphone to non balanced, but not non balanced on a headphone to Balanced.

Just buy a cable if you want balanced, for mmcx (most iems) Sony offers a nice cable. For something else you will need to buy a cable your from a cable maker probably. The prices range from low as 60€ to like 150€ depending on what connectors you need and what material it should be.

Thanks for the info. But how can I tell with only my eyes that a cable is balanced?

You can't. It may look balanced but the connector can be wired incorrectly. The best thing u can do is to use multimeter to test the cable.

4 connection points, look up trrs. Most headphones don't come with a balanced and with most I mean like 99.999%. Just Buy a balanced cable with the connection you need.

If HK Sony has delayed shipment, then AJ will also delay delivery for HK stock.

I'm just wondering why amazon JP hasn't shipped mine out, i't not like Sony Japan is shortage in stock.
