Important or no? I'm used to making guitar and mic cables and we always use the shield in a XLR connector, is there any benefit for headphones? Because for you typical 4 pin XLR balanced plug, there is no option for tying in the shield, and if you wanted to use the shield for a 2 x 3 pin XLR termination, you'd need at minimum a 6 conductor cable (4 signal and two shields), or two balanced pair cables twisted together. Am I correct?
For making TRS extension/IC cables I've always used the shield as ground and twisted the wires into two pairs for the left and right channels respectively. Is there any reason why I should not do this?
