Well, i finally got an iPod touch (mainly for skype-ing abilities) and i'm very happy with it. But i hate having to carry around both my ER-4's (for listening) and the Apple earbuds (for skype-ing). So i was going to graft my ER-4's onto the apple cable.
My plan was to de-solder the apple cable from the original driver (by disassembling the ear-bud), then cut the ER-4 twisted pair cable about an inch or so from the red/blue connector. Splice together and shrink wrap. Should be able to avoid dealing with messing about with the tiny shielded cable that way right?
Any tips, advice or caveats I should be aware of before they hit the dissection table? I've never tried soldering headphone cables (looks like a bitch), but i do have experience with SMC components and hand soldering bazillion pin micro-controllers. Thanks!!
