Have a pair of Sony MDR-EX1000's but want to convert the plug that goes into the buds to a straight drop down (instead of over/behind the ear).
Here's the plugs it uses (proprietary unfortunately) and I'd want to eliminate the "bend" and, I guess, solder the new cable to the exposed part of the wires?
Like this:
What I'd need help with, really, is how to make the connection strong. I mean, I'm assuming I could cut away enough plastic to expose enough wire to make a solid connection but the wire alone wouldn't be strong enough I don't think?
What I'm thinking is leave as much jacket as possible on the new cable then using heatshrink and some sort of epoxy basically glue the cable jacket to the heatshrink from the inside then epoxy the other end of the heatshrink to the connector?
Thoughts on what I could do?
