I'm recabling my headphones and want to make the cable detachable. I know the higher level Sennheiser headphones have those small plugs for the cable, is there anyway I could acquire a set? Are these sold anywhere? I would need two plugs and two jacks.

Or perhaps there is another type of plug I can use? I would like to keep the connectors small.

Thanks everyone.

I got my HD650 connectors from ebay... however, I don't know where you'll find the socket (jack) for the connectors.

you cant buy the sockets, only the connectors

Hm, that's unfortunate.

Any other options? They don't necessarily have to be as small as the Senn connectors, just not big.

I believe that Cardas sells Senn connectors.

weren't there people modding their Grado's into have a mono 2.5mm jack on each side? perhaps you could try something similar

Yeah, seems I can buy the Senn plugs but without the sockets it's not much use to me.

I looked into using a 2.5mm connection, but all the ones I found had barrels that were too long. It would make too hard a fit inside the headphone cup.


I stumbled across this. Think this would work? Don't know how it would affect the sound though. If I run the cable with something decent, I don't think it would be good to terminate with a bad connector (which I don't know if this is or not).

maybe this one? Or this?

[edit; nevermind that first link. I'm looking at the second two, either the black set or the red set with the weird pins. Do you think it's worth the extra money for the red one? It would be $2.96 shipped for the black simple ones or $7.28 shipped for the red ones.]

Thanks for the input

[edit; ok well I bought those small black ones. Waiting for them to come in and see how they are.]

If HD800 then APureSound mentioned that he have the connectors incoming, and will sell them to DIY'ers shortly.
