I like creating my own mods when I can and I've been searching for a good guide for cables for a while. You're awesome! Thanks for the great tutorial. I cant wait to make one for my Senheiser 660s.

The whole idea was really great! I think I know just what to do when replacing my headphone wires. Honest Reviews: 1. You have to stabilize your video. 2. You have to have your camera focus a bit better on the subject.

Awesome 4 wire braid. FYI, this could also be used "Flat four" connectors for trailer light wiring!

Nice and detail. The only channel that I've been searching for a few day.

Excellent tutorial, now to try and make my fingers work properly 😄

By far the best KZread channel for diy cables and mods. I really appreciate the work you do, man. After building a few mx500 earbuds, I want to try my hand at cable-making and this series is just what I needed. Would love to see more videos on 15.4mm and 14.8mm earbud builds/mods too. Keep up the good work.

Binder clip works great for securing the braiding. Especially if you have a boom mic or anything attached to a scissor arm.

May I ask if the thread near the outside ground is also a ground? I am curious because with my KZ 8-core GOld Copepr Silver mixed cable 560 jack has 2 cores soldered there. And 2 cores also pointing out like it isn't soldered. But the cable is in perfect sound, no noise or whatsoever.

how to build with a mic modul (braid cable), can the ground and mic be combined and work properly? Please answer. thx

@c.l.h.bokhorst6687

if you have a mic built in you should have 4 wires, one for the right plus, one for the left plus, one for ground and one for the mic, but you can braid it the same way like this, only instead of having 2 ground you have ground and mic. you can split the ground off later. hope this helps!

hey bro! do you have links for the stuff you use? i saw your site that sells the wire and 3.5mm jack but can you make a video on differences in wires or something as well? im completely new to this and am unsure of what exactly to use :(

excellent video! (2) i will like & subscribe ...thanks bro.

Where did you buy cables? You have link?

Can you please advise the proportion between braided cable and raw cable? Like 1.5 meter of raw cable will be 1 meter of braided cable. I know that it is depended on how tight of braiding but I need to get some idea. Thank you bro.

Hi, whats really got me confused is how the wires run between a single 2.5mm TRRS male jack to the headphone plugs in a balanced cable? How do you connect the TRRS to TRS/2 pin plugs? Sorry but im a newbie, just trying to fig stuff out! Thanks for the patience :)

@nickloss2377

TRRS TO TRS (2.5mm) ...well you're be losing functionality with something. TRRS are often used with headphone cables that have a mic (like the headphones that come with cell phones)... if you don't care about the mic in replacing the cabling, just solder the mic input to ground.

What is these wire specification? length, gauge or mm size. I am new to this. Can I use normal wires with shielding to make this as well? Can you link me to something on aliexpress or India that might not be really expensive?
