Or, for 8 wires

3 is easy. Pass each side, left and right, over the center (making it the new center). Alternate left and right each time.

thanks, will take a look at that.  Too bad the pictures are gone in one of the links from that thread

The way I do 4 wires is to pair them up top/bottom and left/right.  Then you just swap top bottom then swap left right, repeat.  The real trick is to make sure you always swap them the same way, so top always goes to the right of bottom and right always goes to the top of left.
 
EDIT - Just go to youtube and look up a how-to for a round braid.  It's pretty simple.

While I think it's great that you want to make your own cable, I might also suggest you try what I did:  just braid your existing cable.

Your braiding-fu is strong, sensei

  I could never get those single strand braids to look that nice.  I gave up, bought a DMM, soldering station, and made me some proper cables

I'm starting to get ready to to a detachable cable and mic mod for my DT770 Pro 250. I was looking for some sort of wiring diagram on how to do this. I found these Lemo connectors online. I going to try and copy Tommyboy's mod here in the pics. Can someone please help me. This will be my 1st headphone mod but I'm a HVAC tech and this seams not so hard to do compared to my day to day. If anyone could help with anything that would be amazing.

So far I found these for the mod:
 
Wire: (Mogami W2893 Miniature Quad Microphone Cable)
Connector: (Lemo 4 Pin Connector)
 
Looking for:
Braided sleeve "red and black" and what size.
Heat shrink and what size.
What type of 3.5mm Male TRS/TRRS are those?
A cool looking 1/4 Male TRS.
Any resources, links, and some sort of wiring diagram would be huge.
What else would I need, or what have I gotten wrong?

It's a braided Y-cable obviously. Is there a step to step guide to do this kind of cable please? I really need some advices

Looks like some sort of quad cable (Mogami, Canare, or something similar) with the outer jacker stripped off, then sleeved in a techflex or paracord. The Y-Split is just the 4 wires separated into 2 pairs, probably twisted together.

I think you are right ! i found a description of his work:
 
- Canare L-4E5C cable
- minijack plug straight Neutrik
 
For the Y-split i didn't find a tutorial :/

Are these the same type of headphones you are doing? If so try to contact that person for wiring diagram. Really you don't need a diagram as you have to crack open the cans. The picture is too small to identify the connectors for me. It would be nice to know what you are hooking this up to to figure out what it is that you need. I just can't wrap my head around the adapters other than it has a 3.5mm trrs male on the male cable and a female 3.5mm trrs to two 3.5mm trs on the output . Then that sounds fine but what is the need for a 1/4 in trs?
