You can buy cheap dacs Jcally etc to solve that, I prefer 4.4 balanced over 3.5.
4.4?
4.4 is the larger jack connector to the 3.5 which has kind of become standard for portable media players, 6.5 is hifi standard.
JMCally JM6 pro or JM12, usb c at one end and 3.5 connector at the other.
Just on the side of this. There's a LOOOOT of cables on the usual chinese store for both 2 pin and MMCX based IEM's that include a boom mic. It's been my go-to setup for about the last 3/4 years.
Something like "2 pin IEM cable with boom mic" should see you good. The usual rainforest sell similar, but they tend to just be batches bought and re-sold.

All the same thing
Its the same issue with speakers, some companies call their small speakers "Desktop Speakers" and others call them "Desktop Monitors" or "Studio Monitors" to make it sound more fancy, its all Marketing BS

I find that IEMs have a much better sound and fit from the standard earphones I used to own, being able to replace cables and ear tips is sometimes a benefit too.
Not true at all.
Why do you think musicians and singers use IEM's? They are far superior in fit and sound to ordinary earbuds.
mattyfez asked if IEM's are different to in ear earphones. Please explain the difference to me then
Larger soundstage, more detail, better comfort, less bank account.
Superior sound quality
To quote Gems...
IEMs (in-ear monitors) sit deeply inside your ear canal with a tight silicone or foam seal for superior noise isolation and accurate audio monitoring. Standard earphones usually rest loosely in the outer ear, letting in ambient noise and offering a more casual, everyday listening experience.
