I still just replaced the old disintegrating ear-cups on this oldie but goodie.

Now I was hoping i could convert this to take shorter cables. I've had the super long one in a zip tie forever.

I was hoping I could get my hands on one of these connectors and a retrofit a 3.5mm female plug in there? I tried searching but could not find any threads since this headphone is so old. This is a common mod on Beyerdynamic headphones.

Any particular sources I could check out?

Alternative, is it easy to cut the cable on this end and re-solder the 4 cables back into this connector? (i'm pretty good with an iron due to RC cars).

Wouldn't it just be easier to cut off part of the cable and just solder on a new jack onto it?

After posting I've been looking to see if I could buy a replacement part of newer hd 5 series headphones that would be plug n play (the female 2.5mm part). The cable being removable would be the added benefit.

Can't find any teardowns or part schematics of any of the newer he 5 series.

Probably end doing what you just said
