Why it Sounds Amazing
Balanced Output
I often say balanced output is like using both hands to carry something heavy — it distributes power evenly and keeps things stable. In audio gear, balanced output helps reduce unwanted noise and interference, especially over longer cables. Think of it as a cleaner, more efficient way to transmit your music, ideal for anyone using high-end DACs, amps, or studio-grade headphones 🎧. You’ll typically find it on gear with XLR or 4.4mm connectors, and it's a must-have if you’re chasing that ultra-clean signal path.
Here’s what’s actually happening: a balanced output uses two separate signals, one inverted, so when interference is picked up along the cable, it gets cancelled out when the signals are recombined. The result? Cleaner audio, better dynamic range, and more power output — especially when paired with balanced headphones. The trade-off? You’ll need gear that supports balanced connections on both ends to really enjoy the benefits.
When you see '⚖️ Balanced Output' products, expect: ultra-low noise, more headroom, and better synergy with high-impedance headphones or sensitive IEMs — ideal for serious listening setups.
Power Output
I like to think of power output in audio gear like engine horsepower, it determines how much muscle your setup really has 💪. Whether you’re trying to drive a pair of power-hungry planar headphones or just want headroom for dynamic peaks, power output is the spec you want to check first.
Technically, it refers to the amount of electrical power (measured in mW or Watts) an amp or DAC/Amp combo can deliver to your headphones. More power means better control, improved dynamics, and the ability to handle demanding gear without distortion. But more isn’t always better, too much power with sensitive IEMs can introduce hiss or harshness.
When you see '🚀 Power Output' products, expect: strong driving capability, better dynamics, and optimal performance with headphones that need serious juice to shine.

First of all an IMPORTANT NOTE!! - If it isnt working in your smartphone try turning on your OTG collection cuz I faced the same problem.
.
Now the built is very clean. Its small and doesnt look cheap
I havent tested it much but theres no distortion and the heavy metals feels so good when I tested them while using these. Indie pops felt like they were wishpering in my ears. Those two are my main genre.
.
While gaming there isnt any issues while playing the regular iems especially if you dont play co-ops but I appreciate those enhanced live ammo sounds. And it gives a new prespective to horror and indie games.
That’s such a helpful tip about OTG, thanks for sharing it! 🙌 We’re glad you’re enjoying both music and gaming with these. Keep the music playing!
Great quality. It may not compatible in some smartphone. But I am experiencing great sound with laptop.
So glad to hear you’re enjoying the great sound on your laptop! Keep the music playing!
Well, there's not a lot i can say that hasn't already been said. The Allegro mini is smaller than i expected. It almost doubles the volume with no distortion unless the volume is maxed out on the unbalanced output & no distortion period on the balanced one.
I'm using it to drive a Sennheiser HD650s. It might be placebo, but I feel like the the imaging and separation of sounds are a tad better through the DAC.
All in all, highly recommended.
Thanks for the detailed feedback! Glad the Allegro Mini is powering your HD650s with clear, distortion-free sound. Keep the music playing!
I am a mixed bag in that I enjoy good sound in movies for which I have Sony theatre quad in living room and a maranta atmosphere home theatre, but music was something I didn’t enjoy much till now. Probably because the only music I listened was through CarPlay once in a week when I drive. A random article roused my curiosity on DACs and I bought this DAC. First time I actually enjoyed music when I connected my basic JBL headphones and listened to Apple Lossless music. Details are crisp and I could actually feel the music. DAC build itself is sturdy in that there are no loose wires. Also what swayed my decision was presence of both 3.5 and 4.4 mm ports.
Love this journey! It’s amazing how a good DAC can transform casual listening into truly feeling the music, even on basic headphones. Glad you’re enjoying those crisp Apple Lossless details and the solid build, here’s to many more rediscovered playlists ahead!
Always a great quality of products are offered by headphone zone. Loved the quality.
Thank you for the amazing review! We're so happy you love the quality, it truly means everything to us!

The Allegro Mini is a must buy for someone with a handheld gaming device, and yes it is good for music on your phone too.
However in my experience I noticed that on my Nothing Phone (used a Kiwi Ears Melody), I had to 100% my volume to get the desired amount of volume whereas on the Steam Deck, I was satisfied with similar sound output at around about 60%. Not sure if it's because the phone provides less power to the DAC and the Steam Deck provides more.
But don't be too disheartened if you plan to buy this solely for your phone. Because I'm a loud volume listener, and at 100% I found it enough. Or maybe it's just my Nothing Phone, I'm still a bit unsure.
But the performance of the DAC is fantastic. It may not be powering your 100+ ohm headphones, but it is plenty enough for IEMs or any gaming headset. I also have the Kiwi Ears Allegro - the normal one that looks like a controller - and i couldn't tell a difference between it and this for my IEMs except in volume. The separation is the first thing I noticed n both dacs. It's a huge upgrade over any onboard audio for sure.
If you have a handheld gaming device and you think your audio from the 3.5mm jack is fine enough, and you thought you didn't want to attach a big desktop DAC or even a dangling dongle that messes with the comfort - I urge you to consider this. It improves sound quality noticably with just 2000rs.
One con I noticed was that, though it has both 3.5mm and 4.4mm jacks, I couldn't perceive any loudness increase using the 4.4 output. This isn't the case with the Allegro normal.
Basically if you want more power for your headphones get the Allegro normal. If you have IEMs that be easily powered, get this.
Important note: watch out for any phone or handheld covers you may be using. If it's too thick, it may interfere with the dongle insertion.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review of our Kiwi Ears - Allegro Mini ! Happy gaming!
