Details:
- A good set of headphones can last a lifetime, but it's unlikely that the plug at the end of the headphone cord will. This adapter is ideal for someone, specifically for headphone audiophile who'd like to DIY, repairs or improves his headphone sound quality.
- 24K Gold-Plated Contacts
- Ultra low-loss dielectric insulation
- 3.5mm Stereo Mini Plug
- Fit cables up to approx. 8mm diameter
- Use wire cutters/strippers to snip the old headphone plug off the cord
- Twist off the shell of the replacement plug and slide it and any insulating sleeve onto the headphone cord
- Using the wire cutters/strippers, remove 1 1/2 inches (4 cm) of the outer insulation from the headphone cord. You should find three wires: two insulated wires and one uninsulated wire, which is the ground
- Strip 1/2 inch (12 mm) of insulation from each of the insulated wires
- Solder or screw the uninsulated ground wire to the plug terminal that is farthest from the plug tip
- Solder the insulated wires to the other plug terminals. If you don't know which terminal on the plug is the right channel and which is the left, you can use a continuity tester (available at electronics or hardware stores) to find out, testing it first on the tip of the headphone jack, which is always the left channel
- Squeeze the plug clips together with a pair of pliers to secure the cord
- Slide the shell over the plug and screw the plug in place
