Hi, this is my first post. These are my Sony MDR-CD280s. I've had these for almost 20 years, and decided they needs some updating. The new cable is twisted pair silver coated OFC cable covered in paracord with the inner removed. I also measured the impedance between 20 Hz and 100 KHz, with the new cable it is 2 ohm less.

The impossible mission done.
8mm cable into mini-XLR 4pin, and then 2 cables of 8mm inside the 4p xlr connector.
my first dual sided mini-XLR cable

*cable ordered from here

(forgot the sleeve ... somebody kill me :frowning2: )

The quality not improved...

I really starts to understand that from some point the size of the conductor doesn't really matter

I didn't really know where else to put this, but lo-and-behold, my newest creation

DT 990 600ohm, modded with a 4 pole 3.5mm jack, allowing them to be balanced. Topped off with a TRRS 3.5mm male to Neutrik 4 pin XLR.

This was done for a client, and even easier than a standard 3 pole mod!

If this doesn't fit here let me know and I'll find a spot for it.

I like unplugged modes!
I like this DT990 mod.
now you can create how much cables that you want for it!

I only planning how to do this mod on my beyerdynamic headphones... my modes is harder, with 4pin mini-xlr :frowning2: ... really hard) - sometimes ask myself why I not decide to use 3.5mm mode :)



do the cable fill stable? to you fill it on your shoulder ?

It feels very stable in the jack. This particular 3.5mm TRRS is very tight, so no worries about it moving around or anything. And no, you don't feel the cable on your shoulder, it's a flexible enough paracord where you can move it pretty much anywhere you want it to go.

I've been watching this thread for a while now, so i think it's about time for me to add something to it...
Amphenol RCA interconnects sleeved in 550 paracord, made from Canare L-4E6S.

My first braid, using Gotham gac-3
Looks sleek!
What kind of right-angle plug did you use? I've tried quite a few with my Mad Dogs, and none of them fit...
P.S. That kind of looks like an Oyaide now that I think about it
