## Details & Specifications
The FiiO KA11 is a tiny headphone dongle: it plugs into the USB-C port of a phone or laptop and gives wired earphones and headphones a proper headphone jack. For its size it's powerful, enough for most earphones and many headphones. A small coloured light shows the audio format that's playing.

It gets warm in use. The settings app (for the light and sound filters) is Android-only. There's no microphone support, so a headset mic won't work through it, and the sound is slightly warm rather than strictly neutral.
