DIY Cable Gallery!!
Jul 19, 2012 at 9:26 PM Post #9,693 of 16,309


Did this , don't have anything to case the cables coming out of the flex in. Idk if there is anything i can use for it since it's like 32 AWG and I don't know anything that will fit it. Also it's not working.
Maybe I soldered to the wrong pad.

It's fine. We all start somewhere. My first recable ended in my headphones being trashed. :p
 
 
Grab some pliers and just untwist it. Theres a method I use, but it's hard to explain w/o pictures.

That y-split and the carbon barrel for the Oyaide are pretty fresh.  Are they 100% custom or did you re-purpose some other parts to fit?  I don't recognize that size of carbon fiber barrel but it looks neat.

Hi Peter
 
The Y splitter is custom made. Took me ages to to mark out, punch and drill all those tiny holes and dimples! Very time consuming indeed. As Frank posted, the plug is on 'ACROLINK' one from lunashops. I brushed the plated parts on the barrel - looks much better in this context ( with the other brused aluminium parts ) Plus, it gets rid of the terrible blue printed logo. They look a little tacky when not brushed IMO.

Available in both straight and angled, also in gold plate. Quite cheap, but that blue logo is a spoiler.

Hi Dude
 
You need 4 individual conductors - 2 per side. One is for the signal, the other is the return / earth. It looks like you connected a wire to the either sinal or earth wire inside the headphones. This wont work, you need to have the wires seperate and connected to the correct poles inside the jack plug. That is likely why they are not working.
 
If your having trouble getting the barrel off the jack plug, wrap some electrical / masking tape around the end of the jack - the male part that goes into the female jack - and hold that with a pair of pliers. Should be able to twist off the barrel after that.
