Sommer Cable 0,14 mm²
Rean NYS 231 BG x 2
Amphenol KS3PB-AU
Really nice braid work, super clean!
Thank you very much!
And here is my DIY cable:
A USB-C OTG interconnect to Micro-USB to connect my phone or laptop to my beloved Chord Mojo.
In the middle there is a USB Hub/card reader with a 512GB MicroSD card !
I love heatshrink tubes, don't you . . .
Where ever I connect my Mojo, my music goes with me. Works on Android and Windows (haven't tried it else where).

Could you please tell me what's the exact model of the Sommer Cable you use?Hirose x Hicon
There are a lot of different models with 0,14 mm² here.
I also would like to know about the cable sleeve.
As I never made a braided cable, I'd like to buy the right material instead of pay a lot on shipping and taxes just to discover I was wrong.
Tks
Buy what your local store has to offer. Take 0,14 mm² or 0,22 mm² (AWG 24 / AWG 26) flexible copper cable and some paracord 425 (typ2 with 3 cores).
I´ve used sommer cable cicada, but stripping is a pain in the a**. Buy single wires!
Braiding > look for Youtube tutorials > 4 strand braid > for example
have fun
Yet another OTG USB-C to Micro USB interconnect
this is a very thin and flexible cable.
In the middle there is a nano USB Hub and MicroSD card reader (about 15mm X 7mm), and a 512GB card.
I use it to connect my phone to my Chord Mojo.
The gadget under full load, draws about 100mA and gently gets warm.
Max read/write speed is about 19MB/s.

I hope I am not boring you guys.
My beloved Ultimate ears UE700's which is getting a little old, developed a cable problem.
Now these are over 10 years old, but I love them.
Problem was that where the cable enters each bud, right at the grommet, the outer sheath was getting weak and too thin, about to break.
My solution was to cut the cable about 15cm from each bud.
Got a safety pin and cut two 15mm studs from it. I shoved the studs through the grommet about 5-7mm with a tiny drop of superglue to make sure the stud stays there.
I then used some glue-lined heat-shrink tubes to go over the cable, the grommet and the stud - to keep everything together. it seems to work.
Recently Jays company was selling detachable remote cables for their Q-jays for only a fiver including postage - so I bought a couple.
I soldered the Jays (very thin and flexible) to the ends of the cables from the UE's - this time using a rubberized heat-shrink to cover the lot and create an ear-loop.
Here is the result. (I was tired, so not everything is to measurement)

Nice! I would recommend you solder a new cable directly to the drivers or explore the possibility of converting it to removable connector such as MMCX
I wish it was possible.
The bud casings are glued together, can not open it, if I could, that would have been my choice.
This way, at least it survives for a bit longer - old cable had gone hard and brittle at parts.
Sennheiser pin plugs from aliexpress. Very nice quality, easy to solder. Sturdy fit (HD600).

I have three headphones tweaked to balanced use with 3.5 panel plugs on the cups. Hence, I made balanced cables 
3 meters 2x 3.5 to 4pin xlr
1.2 meters 2x 3.5 to 2.5
The system is foul-prof. In the headphone side the cable is only soldered in the respective side pins. If you don't get the right jack into the right side, no signal.

New build:
8 core silver litz AWG24 with Furutech connectors and Eidolic splitter.
Many thanks to Ian from Cosmic Cable. I bought cables and connectors from Ian and he was a great help to me.
