These are the connectors that plug into the headphone.  I've searched digikey, mouser, partsexpress and can only find one or two and they're really basic/ugly (see below)
 
Maybe I'm not using the correct search terms.
 
I'm not in any rush, im just looking for a quick project and thought building some cables would be it
 
On a side note, anyone know why the image embed icon is telling me that jpg is not a supported format?  I had to attach them as files. Ugh

I couldn't view those for whatever reason. I purchased these last week. The tips are silver and the body is black.

And they fit well in the 400i.

Thanks, those look nice and switchcraft is reliable.

I didn't realize you could use 2 connector versions. My 400i's have 3 per plug. That opens up more possibilities.

Digikey has female 2.5mm, not sure these are what you want
