Headphone Cable Modification - Cable plug Mod - Headphone repair

[@genghisbunny]

Great tip, I have some old headphones that have way too long a cord for most purposes, I will make a modular cord with this approach, then I can use shorter or longer cords depending on which room I'm in.

Thanks! If there had been room in the headphone, I would have used a "Chassis mount" jack and mounted it inside the can, but these were pretty small!

[@genghisbunny]

@@FrankOlsonTwins yeah, mine don't have room inside the cans either, which is why I'd given up on the idea before seeing this video. Very clever solution.

[@TechButler]

Thank you for sharing. Neat idea! Can this be done to convert a 1/8 to 1/4 for a set that doesn't require a lot of power?

[@FrankOlsonTwins]

Sure, it would translate exactly to the new 1/4" plug. In fact, I'm surprised so many upscale headphones make the standard plug 1/8"!

Totally cool video! THANKS!

[@FrankOlsonTwins]

You bet!

@@FrankOlsonTwins I was looking for a TRS video and this works out great! 🎶 ⚡️🔥

Are you aware of any mini xlr that I can use, instead of this jack? I am in the UK

[@FrankOlsonTwins]

Not sure of the UK, but Neutrik REAN makes one: Neutrik RT3FC-B Rean 3-Pole - Female Neutrik RT3MC-B Rean 3-Pole - Male Good luck with it!
