Does it work with iPhones?

It connects over USB Type-C and is specified for Android 5.1 and above. iPhones need a Lightning port, so it is not a plug-and-play match for them.

What is the difference between the 3.5mm and 4.4mm outputs?

The 3.5mm jack is single-ended and works with most headphones and IEMs. The 4.4mm jack is balanced and needs a cable with a 4.4mm balanced plug.

Does it need a battery or charging?

No. It is a dongle that draws power from the connected phone or computer over USB-C.

Will it drive high-impedance headphones?

It is built for in-ear monitors and efficient headphones. Very high-impedance or hard-to-drive full-size headphones may need a larger amp.

The Allegro Mini itself. Check the listing for any included cable, since the dongle plugs directly into a USB-C port.

Our take on the Kiwi Ears Allegro Mini Portable IEM DAC In Ear Monitor Amplifier

The Kiwi Ears Allegro Mini is a tiny USB-C dongle DAC and headphone amp for in-ear monitors. It has an aluminum alloy body, both 3.5mm single-ended and 4.4mm balanced outputs, and decodes PCM up to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD128. That dual-output layout is rare at this size and puts it ahead of single-jack dongles for IEM owners who want balanced drive. It suits Android users who want cleaner sound from a phone without a separate player.
