guys, is it a good choice to diy a single-ended headphone cable with any unbalanced cable (eg: mogami w2528 dual )?

I recently found a mogami w2528 cable lying around & thought of diy a headphone cable, I just want to know is it good thing to use shield as the ground for the each headphone cup left/right end and connect both shields to the ground/sleeve of 1/4" trs connector at the other end? could this sort of a configuration (or cable) introduce audible hum/ noise to the sound?
or should I use a balanced cable like mogami W2534 ? is there any benefit of doing that with a balanced cable?
