On closer inspection, it appears the last owners of my V7 headphones did not take good care of them. The 3.5mm plug is bent and there appears to be bite marks in the cable insulation.
So, to increase the life of the phones, as well as to avoid damage to my equipment (from the bent plug), I've decided a recable is needed asap.
Two problems though. 1. I've never recabled anything before and I'm not exactly sure how to go about it. 2. With christmas coming up, I don't have much spare cash, so I've got to do this cheaply. But I cannot lose any sound quality.
What are my options? I figure I will need about 10 feet of cable to allow the one sided design to stay.
Also, is there some way I can add rca or some other connectors to the headphones to allow for a removable cable? Or will this kill my sound quality? I don't want to add too much weight either, especially to just one side.
Budget is $25 for just a recable, $35 for a removable cable. Will this allow for good enough parts to at the least not lose any sound? What are the suggested parts within such a budget?
And is there a recabling guide somewhere here on head-fi? I could use all the help I can get.
Thanks
