Can one of you PM me and help me with my soldering. I can't get a solid connection. Wiggling the cable disrupts the connection.

Nothing wrong with the solder, eutectic or not - the problem probably lies in the technique.

Parrots, where did you get the IE8 plugs from.. Are they from an original cable? Have been hunting some for awhile... Link?

Also any chance of connecting your IE8s to your cable and taking some pics with them worn.. Be interested to see the gauge of the cable in comparison to the IE8s and how well the cable bends over your ears..

Cables look great though.

why did you put the IE8 drivers in the apple phones?

A hobby is to have fun with right and try new things even if you youself know its silly. BTW those Apple  IE8's going in the FS forum for $1495 if anyones interested lol
 

Right on Brother.   Keep it up!
 
i actually very seriously considered doing something very similar.  I wanted to transplant my mx980 drivers into a $5 pair of sony shells.. but i really had a good reason.. COMFORT!
 
anyway i chickened out.. too much risk and not enough disposable income

Quick 3.5mm to 1/4" adapter, Mogami mini quad, Neutrik locking female, Neutrik dummy plug and a Switchcraft 3.5mm. I love these dummy plugs, too bad they cost quite a bit, have them installed everywhere keeps dust and other crap out.

Heatshrinking makes or breaks any project IMO...

^ very nice! yeah, the slightest misfire with heatshrink and the whole cable suddenly looks crappy.
I really want to experiment with some of that mini quad could you tell me how thick it is in mm?  do you know what the thinnest gauge they make is?
 
are you using w2799? that seems to be the smallest

 

[Astrozombie]

Oh well forget that, i tried recabling my KSC75s and it was a complete disaster.

Leave it to Parrots to create the best Apple iBuds ever lol.
