My friend recently dropped my laptop with my headphones plugged in, and the jack on my DT880's snapped. I posted in the cable section about recabling services, but it looks like recabling the DT880 involves boutique cables and/or balanced, and cost as much as the headphones themselves. Since only the jack is damaged, is reterminating something that can be easily done? I have enough soldering experience to buy a new jack and solder them on, but a full recable looks like too much for me to handle. Is a straight retermination to 3.5mm possible? I would just use a bog standard Neutrik/Switchcraft plug, but I'm not sure if the cables are enameled, or if there are any other barriers to a simple retermination.
Thanks.
