Where to get Headphones Recabled in Austin Texas?

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 

Hey so I need to get some AKG K81's recabled at some point. Not being an experienced electrician or never having done any similar project i'd like to get someone to re cable these for me. Anyone know of a place local or is anyone in Austin that would be willing to take up this task for me?

 

Thanks!

If you can't do it yourself, don't bother. There new on Amazon for $48 delivered. Can't get a cable and labor for that. Maybe not even labor.

Thanks for the reply. So it's not a cheap fix? as in like $30 or under? Would it be benefitial if I had someone to help me with it and do it myself? How much would I be looking at for the cable alone?

 

Thanks!

It really depends on what they charge for labor and what wires you want to use. In general a job like that will run you anywhere from 20-60 in labor.

 

If you have some soldering skills and a iron, the materials will run you about $25.

I've done some re wiring and soldering when I put a Nintendo NES into a toaster chasis. My buddies really into electrical stuff and wiring so I bet he could help me out as long as I had a fairly nice tutorial to follow. I guess that may be the rout to go. The headphones cables are in perfect working order actually i'd just like to get better sound quality out of them and shorten them down a bit.
