I really like how solid the heat shrink ended up looking on this on the headband to hide away the line going to the right channel. I'll have to keep that in mind for future projects.

Hi nice mod.
I just broke my stock cable for the 4th time and I would like to try this mod because I really like my k518.
I'm a real noob so I would like some tips on what things to use, like what internal and external
cables to use.
Thanks for any help.

I had the same problem, recabled them, but then found out I had killed one of the drivers, be careful, I'm still trying to find a replacement driver....
Got a question to people who did this mod. (know the topic had been inactive for some time, hope people still look at this)
How did you guys run the cable from one earpiece to the other through the shells? Drill a hole, or just kinda squeeze it between the back and the frontside of the shell.
Hope you guys could help me out!
It's very simple to disassemble the headband. All you need is patience
- first you start removing the rubber part where the AKG Logo is
-than you go on an remove it completely
-once you've done that you can dissasemble the whole headband
For hiding the cable in the headband, it's recommended to glue the cable on the aluminium part like that:
Afterwards you can reassemble the whole headband. At the end you put the adjustable headphone holder back in (left and right).

I don't know how you did that - maybe to much heat...
I think it was too much heat, when I was trying to remove the old wire to solder on the new one, I amplied to much heat in the wrong place, when I pulled the cable I found I had melted the glue underneath and one side of the pad came away....
For the future: If you're soldering sensitive parts do not use more than 300 degrees!!!
If you don't have adjustable soldering iron, please work carefully with instinctive feeling! (You should do that everytime when you soldering things)
