Ingenious idea for the Y-split.

Is there a trick to removing the plugs from the Sony MDR-z7 Kimber Kable, or is cutting the wire and resoldering my only option?

I once tried to coat mine with plastidip which ended in an ugly, globby mess, and I'm sick of looking at my mistake. I'd like to either clean it or paracord it, both of which require de-braiding.

Thanks mate

Attempt number 2! This time I stuffed as much paracord as I could onto each wire. The microphonics are MUCH better with looser paracord.

Nice job!

New leads for my Sennheiser HD 212. Four wire quad star silver coated oxygen free copper wire covered with paracord. I had to open the holes that original 2.5mm plugs went into in the ear pieces for the new plugs.

Awesome work Firschi! Are you able to tell me the pin outs of this? I'm planning to do an Audeze balanced cable myself soon.
