3.5mm to 3.5mm short cable | Headphone Reviews and Discussion - Head-Fi.org

Hi people,

Anyone knows where I can buy or order a custom 3.5mm to 3.5mm short jack cable to connect my FiiO Alpen to my phone?
I'm looking for a shorter cable comparing the one that came with the FiiO, any local (UK) or online stores (worldwide) are ok.

Thanks in advance.

Fiio from what i've seen are one of the shortest.

You could try making your own, it's quite easy i used neutrik connectors and silver wire.

Length wise it was shorter, but not by much.

Any custom cable would more than likely cost a packet.

ALO has some shorter - but custom or DIY is probably your best bet.

Thanks for both answers! I think I'll go for your suggestion and do a DYI cable...
Don't have many skills and more importantly DIY tools but lets see what I can do!

cables are a good learning exercise. Not much risk or cost at first.
