My first real cable build!  Rean TRS connector and mini XLR's.  The cable itself is a Mogami star quad re sheathed in 550 paracord.

Well done!

I have been reading here quite a bit but was hoping for some tips.
 
I wish to re-cable Bose OE2 portable headphones... yes I know they suck, but I love how comfortable they are.
 
What would work for me is a light, flexible, non-microphonic, and non tangle.
 
Any suggestions for a descent ready to go cable or DIY design?
 
Many thanks

I think a Litz cable would be a good contender. Perhaps someone will pop up with a good one for you.

Do you need one with a mic or no?

A simply Vmoda audio only cable ia fantastic for the price. Pretty much matches everything you want at a hard to beat price.
Or their 1-button speakeasy cable if you need a mic but I haven't tried that one personally.

There are lots of DIY options. The real question with those is, how much are you looking to spend?

I am having way too much fun with this.  Here's my second cable:  Canare starquad (1 wire removed), Rasta paracord, 3/16 ID vinyl tubing, and radioshack TRS jacks.

Kamakahah - thank for your response! No mic needed. $25 ish? The vmoda looks great - ill need to figure out how to cut and install it.

This reminds me of my time as a headfi lurker a few years back. I used to really enjoy all the photos of old ipods with large amps and massively thick ALO LOD's and IC's.
 
Nice work.

  Sorry, but all unshielded cables are only waste time and money. Work as antenna and send hum inside your apparature.

 
But shielding can also increase the capacitance of a cable, which you don't necessarily want.

Yeah, I wasn't around in those years when the iPods ruled the Head-Fi nation, but I do see them when sifting through old threads
 
Thank you!

Counterpoint: capacitance can also alter frequency response
 
But anyhow, this is a gallery thread and this sort of thing isn't meant to be discussed here.

A small interconnect made for a fellow headfier.
Small viablue jacks and toxic cables pure silver cable.

Nice looking cables ! Would you care to make one for me ? ( I'd pay you the amount you want, these look really great )

Is mine! Thanks ostewart ! It looks very fine and sexy,
