- My Grado headphone cable is starting to fall apart, so I figured it's a great time to do some modding :)
More details are in the closed captions.
**Prior to this video I've repaired the cable by myself once, so the soldering joint on the driver is not how a new Grado looks like. In case anyone who saw the joint and think it looks bad.
Thank you for doing this. Now a gift to you: trade those awful ear pads in for Sennheiser HD 414 pads. About $20, or they were. Beautiful yellow color and very comfortable. I've been doing this for years and have tried all of the Grado pads and always come back to the 414's.
My 325's need a new cable and your video is helpful. Thanks again. mt
Imagine if Grado had thought of this.....
👍 GOOD JOB
Can you please share a link to the male/female MMCX parts that you used? Nice job!
Thanks for liking the video! Those connectors were bought from local vendors, but I guess they all come from aliexpress anyways.....
And also the female connector I'm using is a little too small imo, so I'll advice looking for ones with longer "tails" that you can solder onto. Try look for keyword "mmcx connector with nuts"
Очень крутое видео!!!!
so why mmcx instead of something more conventional like 3.5mm? Are mmcx jacks just easier to solder?
The reason I chose mmcx is that many pre-built headphone cables are made with mmcx connectors, but it really depends on personal preferences. I'm just too lazy to convert cables that is already mmcx into other connectors :p
I have some Moondrop Stuff that I want to mod as well. I will try to record my failure xD
