You were not the person suggesting using 3 wires per earcup so the question could not have been for you. So No.

Holy cow, I did not expect to see this many custom cables!

for all you know.. he might want stereo from both sides lol.. some intense rubbish here..
 
and for any of you thinking of recabling any noise canceling headphones such as Bose and the like... it is not at all straight forward. in fact, I've given up trying.

3 wires for unbalanced, 4 for balanced operation. Of course you will need different connectors for balanced.

Well there is a 4-pin 3.5mm jack these days. This allows for the use of either a unbalanced or balanced through the same 3.5mm output jack.

I had some left over ALO SXC wire and was bored, so I decided to make this USB cable to connect it to my DAC and my predator amp/DAC. I must say, I heard no sound improvement over the stock USB cable, but at least it looks sick and I made it!

Here is a headphone cable that I made.  It is Canare starquad in nylon terminated to 1/4" neutrik.  Any ideas on how to cut down on microphonics?  The leads going into the headphones are quite sensitive.

sleeve them with nylon as well
 
nice cable btw

 

[Saintkeat]

i find heat shrink increases microphonics.. thats why i'd rather leave my left and right channels naked...

Great looking cable, too bad it doesn't comply with any USB standards; glad it works though.  Just don't turn on USB High-Speed.

RESPECT! I think there are not so many of us who could admit this after making a cable! Any way it look's very nice! I think I will olso make one

It's an USB cable that doesn't adhere to USB specs. Good thing it still lets most of the 0's and 1's through.

 

[FallenAngel]

Exactly  But it sure looks awesome.

While cannabalizing an older Monster subwoofer cable I was pleasantly surprised at what I found. The outside was rubbery, then there was a little firmer plastic-like covering, then what appeared to be copper woven sheathing, then a foil looking layer and then the insulation on the wires. I'm going to make some interconnects out of it and at 25 feet long I should be able to get at least 6-7 pairs. Woot!
