Nice cable. How did you make those Y splitters?

Did you use glue to secure the sleeves on the heat shrink?

Planning to create unplugged mount for most of my headphones.
This is my first testing.
I mod this headphones to work good with "left sided cable" as same as "double sided cable " (the top cable between the caps (that goes through the headband) connect the right driver to the mount)
I use the most fat cable that I found to this version, to check if they improve the quality.
Most of the headphones will receive the 4pin mini-xlr cables, but the smallest one will receive the 4pole TRRS 3.5mm mount.
I tilt the mount a little bit to the front/top to make the cable fill more comfort.
*sorry for the quality

TRRS 3.5mm

mini XLR 4pin

*I not have enough free time, but I want to apply this connector to the most of my headphones.
*I want to post/ or hope that someone post and open a thread about "Mounting mod for headphones"
And yes, I plan to create all of my my headphones as this two, to function on the one side (left) and as both sides (left and right) (with the specific cable)

If you accidentally plug the left-sided cable to the Right side you will hear only the Left channel but only on the Right side cap
If you accidentally switch side on the dual-sided cable, it will still function, the same side that you connect the cable will function.

Yes, indeed, I do

My second replacement cable I have made, my first from scratch. For Sennheiser HD650.. Silver Plated Copper PTFE 24AWG. 4 cables per side. Silver Solder. Not sure if I should have covered it in cord though? Didn't feel like hiding the pattern. Wire and Parts are from oidiosound.co.uk

Heres's my latest cable:

A simple HD600/650 cable made with Sommer Cable SC-Square 4-Core MKII. The cable can be purchased in the US at Have Inc ($0.77/foot). Have Inc charges a ridiculous $14.20 for shipping, so, ug. You might be able to get it from jed.larson@sommercable.com for the same price, but cheaper shipping.

What drew me to the SC-Square cable is strand count. 102 strands per conductor to make 24AWG. I don't know why, but that caught my eye.

At any rate, the cable is simple and flexible. It's stock to the Y, then two connectors to each cup, sleeved with nylon multifilament. The connectors are $13 from ebay and are pretty slick.

I need to remember that 18" is probably too long from the connector to the Y.

I recently ordered a half dozen of those Sennheiser connectors from the guy on ebay. They're vastly superior to the plastic red and black ones. He also sells among the best and least expensive HD800 connectors, too.

Can you link that nylon multifilament you used? I ordered one type on ebay, and it took a month to show up and was not as flexible or nice as I was hoping. I've been looking for one that's nice and soft, and reduces microphonics if possible.

Really nice work, in the first cable did you twist it yourself and then add clear heatshrink or is it something else, please could you tell me which
wire etc as I would like to make a see through cable exactly like that one, thank you in advance.
