That's what I used to say .. like a person working at a place that sells head phones and you ask about quality. He says well.. you could get cheapest ones for 5$ that are really thin and will break in acouple months and have the minimal sound quality possible..exaple: have no bass all voice sound fragile.. straight garbage basically. Then goes up in price and quality though 3 or 4 brands till most expensive $100 dollars top quality wav compatible. Last about 10 years comes with 3 year warranty and code you can use in a website to download any 5 free songs..😁 right. .like I can understand if one is difficult to make and comes with attachments lights features for afew more dollars.but so many all different prices. And quality on a sliding scale. Just like what I said when one of my dope connects had two different qualitys some that's not that great for regular price and some 50% more $ for. That's like the quality of his usual real good stuff that should always remain regular price cause one should always strive to get top quality for all costomers at least at the standard going rates. But ...he did say he payed extra for the better stuff. So the company probly payed more for the beats.. than the skull candies..I'm guessing..right😎

Good video! I just repaired some $A10 earbuds with mic. They had separated at the splitter, after which the mic is on the cable to the left earbud. I thought I'd got it right, but then discovered (via a web site) that the stripey mic wire was actually a combo "copper" and blue coloured wire. I had to very carefully separate the blue and copper-strands (with a sewing pin actually), and then connect the 4 hair-thin blue ones to the thicker blue one coming from the plug. After that, copper went to join the other copper ones (ground in this case). The main point is, if you see a "stripey" wire, it's probably 2 conductors. The site I looked at showed such a cable (but RED and copper striped). I soldered everything, and bound all 3 cables together tightly before covering the whole thing in heatshrink tubing.

On the turtle beach side, I have 3 cables; red (speaker), white (mic), and silver (ground).

First, untwist a portion of the copper wire from the white wire then connect in the following order: Red to Red, Green to Blue, the Blue on the first wire listed above goes with the either the white wire or the copper twisted wires Then the Copper wire on the first wire listed above goes with either the copper twisted wire or the white wire. You might have to temporarily connect some of the wires to do some troubleshooting to determine if the copper twisted wisted wire goes with either the Blue wire or the Copper Wire on the first set.

Hi Rich, my right earbud is shorting out. I can't find the short anywhere on the wire, even 5-6 inches from the plug, but pushing the wire towards the bud/speaker on the right side will make it work again until it's shaken too much. Will this method be appropriate for this headphone if I have another plug?

So the sound comes back when you push the wire near the earbud? If that is so, then this method might not work. You might have a short near and/or in the earbud. If that is case, then you'll have to dismantle the earbud and see if you can re-solder the wires back to the earbud (after cutting out the bad portion).

Make sure the original headphone's green-red wire doesn't have a white wire inside of it. Take the copper with red inside apart from the red wire.
@RichsMethods9 жыл бұрын
Take a look at your new plug. The following is the most likely set up of the plug: Top to bottom - tip, ring, ring, sleeve. Respectively this should be Left, Right, Common/Ground, and mic if under the CITA standard. They should be this way. You original headphone is set up as left is the green wire, right is the red, a wire inside the green-red is the microphone, and the copper and the green-red wires are the grounds. There should be another wire inside the green-red wire. Take a closer look. The new plug is probably setup as left is green, right is copper-red, copper with red inside (the copper portion only) is the microphone, and the Red wire inside is a ground. Connect this red wire and the other separate copper to the copper wire of the original plug. I might recommend purchasing another plug to make it easier on you. The new plug you have listed has a setup I never seen.

Yeah, it seems confusing, but I managed to find some apple mic earbuds today, so i'm gonna try to use the plug on that. Thanks for the help and explanation and great video!

I have the apple earphones with remote and mic that came with a 2014 iPhone 4S (headset model DTY3483A). The first problem was the play/pause button would go off randomly. Then the right speaker quit working and then the left one got a short and I have to hold the cable next to the plug for it to work. Mic and volume and next/previous controls never worked on samsung (worked fine on an iphone of course). The wires inside are red, green, red/copper striped, green/copper striped, red/green striped with copper inside, and white (from where I opened the plastic the white wasn't inside the red/green striped). What order should I connect them in? And to convert from apple (ctia) to samsung (omtp) I would just switch the 2nd R and the S?
