Just a little extension I was playing with...
There were no shells for the ends so I just wrapped them in leather for schiit's and giggles.

I've never used a pre-made Y-splitter. I always make my own, but this would me things easier I'm sure, and it would look more like a production cable rather than a DIY cable. I guess it just depends on what you're going for in style, durability, and difficulty.

Those leather ends would look even better if the creases were sewn together. Like this:

That would be a TON more work though, especially with how small the stitching would be. haha They look nice as-is though :wink:

They would be amazing molded and sewn! I was going to put leather pads on my copper pipe headphone stand, but I don't have the experience nor the tools to work in leather. The local leather retailer only sells complete skins and they are not cheap. The ends were just scraps and a little Gorilla Glue, and the better appreciation for those that can work in leather. :)

Alright, materials came in. Here is an Aux cable made with:

Aphenol 3.55 stereo plugs
Mogami W2893
And Neon yellow paracord with reflectors.

This is to mainly be used as a cable for my M50s while they are portable. The length is measured to be the length necessary for me to comfortably hold my phone with the headphones on with my arm straight down.

Here is underneath the jack. I'm very proud. No heatshrink was needed. These connectors are also pretty slim.

Thats what I call DIY!!! Very cool and good idea - patented it ...?
Thanks garcsa!
LOL no, but feel free to apply for one... :D
It was all in fun and just a I wonder if... type of thing that didn't turn out too bad for having zero skill in leather.

How do these Mogami W2893 wires sound? Neutral/dark/bright? I am looking for wires for my D2000 recable.
 
BTW, Nice cable.

 
I would say mildly warm.  You can't go wrong with it at its price point.
