Questions about wiring

Hey guys. So a guy from a different forum modded a pair of headphones. He added basically made it so sound/mic would be down 1 cable rather than 2, then at the end would split off into sort of a pc headset 2 3.5mm plugs. So he replaced his stock headphone cable with a cat5e cable. I was hoping to replicate this mod in some way, but 1, is there a better cable to use than a cat5e(needs to have the 4 pair wires in it, i was looking for something of good quality for a fair price) and if you guys had any tips/resources for myself for attempting this mod, since i don't really have experience in soldering. I have a friend who is rusty but should be able to help, but anything that can educate me would be much appreciated. here's the thread he made btw.

You don't need 4 pairs of wires, just 2 more for the Mic. Just use single-strand wire and do it yourself. Buy a 50' roll of SPC off eBay and you're good to go.

Perhaps you can track down some belden 9260 wire sold by the foot. Markertek only sells it in 500ft spools.
