My OG R5 has finally developed an issue-the 3.5 mm jack is wearing out and at times the sound comes and goes in one channel. Looked inside and appears replacing it is beyond my skill level. I'm considering using a 4.4 mm to 3.5 mm adapter but wonder if that will work with unbalanced 3.5 mm IEMs or when plugging into my car 3.5 mm input. Has anyone used a 4.4 mm to 3.5 mm adapter successfully? I found this one on Amazon but have no clue if it will work or blow up both the R5 and my car head unit.

Unfortunately, might not blow up your R5 but it wouldn't sound right. You'd be shorting L- and R- to a common pole.

Are there any adapters that would work?

This would work or not work and not break anything if it doesn't work...

I updated my OG R5 and everything is fine. I did do a factory reset, but that's just me. Been playing with the global PEQ most of the day...

I updated without any problem but after updating and opening the Hiby app, the device suddenly rebooted itself and this image came on the R5

I restarted the device by holding the on/off button (waited slightly longer than usual) and when it booted back, everything was ok. Opened Hiby Music App without any problems and checked that the PEQ function was indeed added. whew

1. Try again with any SD card removed
2. Tap upper right 3-dot button->clear update cache (or similar wording)
