Samson SR850 detachable cable mod

<p>So basically I really like these headphones, and my only real gripe with them is the long cable which is nice at the desk, but annoying to use with a phone in the pocket.</p><p>Many headphones solve this by having a plug instead, and supplying you with multiple cables (sometimes even with a microphone, so you can call your nanny with them).</p><p>Since the SR850 (and other similar headphones) have their fixed cable terminated in an easily detachable cap (held by a single screw, hidden underneath a press-fit "decorative" plaque) this cap can be easily replaced with a bit bigger one, making space for an actual 3.5mm jack.</p><p>This model is just that, including the mounting holes for the cover, and using the original screw.</p><p>The cap is big enough to fit most of the jack sockets I had, so i picked the one which held the cable the best.</p><p>Of course You will need to solder the wires inside, and the jack connector might need a bit of hot glue to stay in place.</p><p>(and yes, I used the “<i>best in class</i>” CAD suite known as Blender, again, .blend file is included if you want to make the model actually good)</p><p>Category: Audio</p>
