That looks great. I like the red cable, and and the headband fabric looks like it could have come like that stock.

Nice job friend

Hi friend.

Now my headphone for me > the sounds like the ideal stereo speaker setup.

I really liked the result and thank you for sharing.

Thanks mate, i have just ordered it. Believe it or not, there was a discount coupon available for payment with PayPal, whose value was exactly the same as the price of the item, in this case, $3.49. As free shipping was the only option available, I literally got 20 3.5mm jacks for free lol!

Fantastic!

@Slater I took the liberty of creating a guide from the cable mod instructions you have posted previously. I tried to copy and paste the text, but the formatting was all messed up, so I ended up typing everything from scratch. I embedded all the pictures you uploaded and did some editing to generate a printable tutorial, so other users can easily follow it. I credited you for the original tutorial and myself for formatting it into a document.

It's nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. I double checked it for any errors in typing or possible swapping in the order of the pics, but it looks alright. I made it available both at Google Drive and as an attachment.

Nice job!

I’ve been meaning to go back and fix that whole post. That was back when I finally moved out of ‘lurk mode’, but I didn’t have photo posting privileges yet. So every photo had to be linked.

Thank you for the support folks, I appreciate it. So now that I have ordered the 3.5mm jacks, I need to buy some new pads. I know that the Brainwavz HM5 pads available on Amazon fit the SHL3300 like a glove, but do the ones from China sold on ebay as too? I'm aware that the HM5 pads offered on ebay most likely don't have the same quality as the original item sold on Amazon, but as I have another $5 coupon available on ebay, I'm inclined to purchase new pads there.

edit: I found the post where Slater told he bought these pads: https://www.ebay.com/itm/100mm-Repl...eadphone-3-94inch-4inch/172453620901#shpCntId

They look very well made, and are round unlike most other HM5 pads sold on ebay.

Should have a good quality compared to generic earpads. And the price is very good.

Agreed. They’re good quality pads.

Full price was $10.09, but I applied a $5 coupon, so I got them for $5.09 + $2.00 of shipping fee (with tracking and all). I believe it was a very good deal.

The headband of one of the SHL3300s I own is in good condition, so I'll hold from getting a new one right now. Now that I've already ordered 3.5mm jacks and earpads, the only thing left to buy is a TRS/P2 cable. Are there many differences between cheap and expensive cables, or any one with decent build quality will do the job fine?

I like ugreen (Amazon or Aliexpress), vention (Aliexpress), mediabridge (amazon).

They’re decent quality cables and very affordable.

There is not much to say about the cables. A well-built cable is sufficient.

@Slater and @bryanswy I got another US$ 5 discount coupon on ebay for at least US$ 10 in purchases. Would you recommended any AUX cables available on ebay? It can be a custom headband as well, I have until the 14th of this month to use this coupon.

Did you look for any of these brands on eBay?

ugreen
vention
mediabridge

They’re decent quality cables and very affordable.

You could also get new ear pads. The stock earpads suck.

I did look, but I'm unsure which one to get. I already bought the HM5 knockoff pads from ebay.

Well, what I would do would be to first figure out what length you want. Do you like short cables (0.5 meter), longer cables (1 meter), or even longer cables 1.5 or 2 meters).

Then figure out what kind of ends you want to plug into your phone/DAP - Straight 3.5mm or 90 degree 3.5mm.

Then go from there.
