audio technica AD500 Headphone detachable cable mod 3.5mm Tutorial AD series

[@charlesbell9797]

For anyone else doing this, the red wire goes to the right headphone, the green is the left, and the copper one is the ground. Great video! It works perfectly!

[@minnesotasteve]

Thanks for this. He cord on my 500’s starting falling apart and I used this to mod them. Very helpful.

[@ariathyf144]

I went into trouble applying the wrong cables and solder, Its going to be tricky to recover so thanks for the video.

Hola, buen video. Pero con el conector cuadrado de Aliexpress no me es posible aún hacerlo entrar. Ya voy "destruyendo" varias partes plásticas internas y aún no cabe.

[@hanlinxie4219]

Worked great. Only thing that was really difficult was dealing with the knot I just pushed it to one side

[@WavyVaporizers]

How much would u charge to do this for someone?

[@eugene_kaverin]

Thank you very much! I followed your instructions and everything worked out.

Great video! this is what I need since its cable is too bad. I wonder could I put a balanced female conector instead? I think I could, please let me know, hugs

[@sgaudiohive]

You would need a female 3.5mm Trrs connector and build a custom wire for it

[@Flankzy]

What soldering iron did you use? Electrical?

[@Thomas-lh4hf]

Hey cool video... My ATH-AD1000x just broke, and i did continuity test and its just the wire ! phew ! But now im looking for a new cable to replace it with and its quiet unclear as to a solid or better cable to replace it with. Soldering is a past time, however I know how the driver is setup with the million little hairs attached inside soo I dont want to be heating that area more than once at most. Anyway I would really appreciate a recommendation !

[@xxRayZamora17xx]

Update? How are they holding up I know the wire on this headphone is super thin

[@sgaudiohive]

there have been no issue since, the cables are replaceable now anyway

[@ariathyf144]

@@sgaudiohive What about the driver itself? Mine was slightly damaged after multiples attempts of soldering new wires that refuse to stick

[@TheChudoviste]

Great video.Have you ever tried this on a bluetooth headphones that do not have an wired output at all?

[@Bums001]

Great tutorial! Looks simple enough. Hopefully I can do that too! Im planning to diy my marshall major 2 since my wire broke. What 3.5mm female do you recommend for that? It s quite small compared to that AD. TIA!

[@sgaudiohive]

Isn't the Marshall major already in detachable 3.5mm?

[@Bums001]

@@sgaudiohive Oops. I guess its the Major 1. Its not detachable. Bought it a few years ago and havent used it since the rubber of the cable torn off. Its still working but not very presentable anymore.

Thanks for the hifi diy. What's the best way to wire an inline mic ? Cheers!

[@sgaudiohive]

Hi there, in line mic will be on the cable, best way is to wire it up to around 15cm below the connector to the headphone earcups

[@Skunkhunt_42]

@@sgaudiohive thank you, maybe you will sell microphones someday? Is there a better way to have a mic that has less negative effect on audio/signal quality to the IEM?

[@miladesn]

any idea how to replace those paper filters? Those on my set seem to be ruined by moisture and sweat over the years and looks yellow and gross now lol. I dont want to remove them completely as it seems to lowers the already weak low end.

[@sgaudiohive]

The best is to not remove or replace them unfortunately

[@Belikeimpasta]

Im planning to diy my XPG emix h30, hope it works :) Any recommendation and tips ??

[@Flankzy]

What clay are you using to hold up the soldering iron. I have seen other videos and your method seems so simple with this clay. While others are trying to juggle. And what 3.5mm female did you use to make it detachable. I want to do this to mine.

[@sgaudiohive]

SE215 is already detachable. Clay is bluetack, have an introduction coming up from start to end how to start DIY audio

[@sgaudiohive]

Sorry reply to wrong person. It's just a standard 3.5mm female socket

[@Nekotamer]

we can all agree that the cable this comes with is unholly.

[@joisarawut6630]

Where do you buy Aux female?

[@piotrkoxdziwko]

its not a female its a pretty asian boy

[@gamesturbator]

I came here looking how to install new pads no this itchy fucker and you speed up the goddamn video at that part. LOL
