survivalmike Great idea! I've used paracord to silence dog tags and some other chains, and even noticed they tended to stay untangled... but never made the connection to headphones.
Thanks for sharing!
What are the name of the stuff you use
can you give us the list of items u used to make a tangle free headphones???
The video was great BTW..... keep it up..👍
+survivalmike Great video by the way... the ending was very funny!!! Main reason I subed and liked :D
0:00 - 0:13 acting level: Pornstar
never knew pornstars can act.
+hentai nat That's the joke™
+Aaron Holwick lol if you close your eyes he even sounds like he is in a porno
Cliff Reeser Lol
I can see inspiration was taken from Brazzers here 👀
Great.. My earphones are broken now. Dont need to untangle them anymore now do I.
what if i dont want to cut my 80€ headphone wire?
nobody said you have to.
+survivalmike oh
+survivalmike savage 😂
+NytOnPeliAika just do it... 😒
+NytOnPeliAika You're a sucker for paying 80€ for headphones that tangle then.
lets say you were to do the same thing without cutting the wire off and just pull it through the paracord and put heatshrink on certain parts of the paracord to keep them in place?
Tipsy Brewer some earbuds have detachable buds
1:41 you just killed your earphones right there you monster..!
lmaoo
ok
I have found that the smallest amount of hot glue inside your heat shrink will keep the shrink from slipping or moving later. And when u heat it the glue will melt into place to fill any inconsistent areas or gaps.
Thx
You can get adhesive lined heatshrink tubing, it makes the job a lot easier.
YESSSS! Exactly what I came to this video for. Thank you!
or you could just use the inside of the paracord to pull the wires through
Yogee Bear That's what I was thinking. Is this TJ Miller?
People in America don't know how to come up with quick ideas like that on their own anymore
@@taylorcorneilius what
@@taylorcorneilius I bet you invented that trick...
Rather than poking the cable through with a stiff wire just tie and tape your cable to the core strands before pulling them out of the sheath.
think anyone can do this without cutting the jack off?
Jay York Nope. I tried with a very small jack (similar to an iPhone earbud jack). Even that wouldn't fit through 550 Paracord sheath.
+Verm1n maybe 1100 cord but then once over the jack the paracord will look loose if using 1100
750 cord?
Uuuughhh I'm so sick of soldering those little earphone wires (with the little unburnable fibres) in order to get a working spare set out of all my broken sets.
But if you are gonna go to those lengths, may I suggest that before you cover over the connections to the speakers & jack, that you put a little expanding glue up into the rubber sleeves where the wires go in. They don't put any protection or a knot in the wire in there, it just goes straight up to a solder joint on the speakers. And why would they - a good yank means more money in their pockets?
Just shove some glue with a pin GENTLY up under the sleeve where it will harmlessly expand & fill the cavity, then excess will begin to ooze out. Just wipe off any excess before it dries or if it's begun, pinch it into shape with wet fingers. It'll eventually stop expanding & when it's dry (24 hrs), your ears will last significantly longer, but still, show them some respect - they're not unbreakable.
This is best done while they're brand new & body oils haven't had a chance to spread over the wires yet. if they have been worn, clean them over thoroughly with methylated spirits & wipe dry with a clean cloth before gluing as any oils will stop the glue doing its job. This trick will usually double the life of your ears if you've done it right.
Can i do this without cutting my earphones?
i have 4 core IEM cable it does look good but it tangles a bit
so if i can slide over 3.5mm jack it will be cool
For beginners, my tip is to go to a dollar store and trying this on the cheapest pair posible
>>> "I see braids causing tension and improper heating so I downvote."
Outstanding, paracord wrapped headphone cables. Well done sir!
I like it, I like it a lot...
thx mate
My Hiking buddies would be impressed. Not so much my party friends 🙈😅
Great project!! I'd suggest using heat shrink that has adhesive on the inside. I just love that stuff for jobs like this. Also, may want to invest in a small heat gun. There are hobby ones that are pretty small and cheap and work great on heat shrink -no need for the one from the hardware store! Still, I love this idea and am going to try this myself soon!!
How about cleaning the soldering iron's tip? You can not have a good soldering job with such a coaled thing.
what do you call to the thing that you use to coat the wires...that when you heat it with lighter it sticks to the wire?
Vanessa celestra it's shrinking tube. you can get it in any hardware store if you haven't that stuff already.
gee thanks
Heat shrink in uk
I find this video calming lol
Just a tip for you too :)
At 5:21, put a rubber band over the handles of the pliers. It will hold everything steadier. I was using it for months before I bought an actual stand
1:43 i stopped watching it!
Same bro 🤣
Finally, quality made headphones that will last, unlike that cheap China crap that breaks in 2 weeks. Thank you!
The parts he used are also made in China and so also the headphones
Warning: this comment may be too long for your patience.
As an experienced (not necessarily professional) headphone fixer guy, this are my tips for reconnecting/fixing/DIYing headphone wires:
1.) When you're doing a DIY on your headphones e.g. Frankenstein-ing your previous broken headphones to one (which in this case disregard this tip), or just fixing your headphones, MAKE SURE THAT EARPHONE ISN'T WORKING BUT STILL FIXABLE, OTHERWISE YOU'LL END UP FIXING AND/OR POSSIBLY SCREWING UP A COMPLETELY WORKING HEADPHONE.
2.) When cutting the wires to the desired/needed length, MAKE SURE YOU GIVE A LITTLE ALLOWANCE, I.E. TO CUT IT JUST A TINY BIT LONGER THAN THE NEEDED LENGTH. More about it later, you'll see why.
3.) When you connect the wires, make sure you burn the enamel coating first as this guy did, BUT FIRST MAKE SURE TO WIPE OUT/REMOVE THE OXIDIZATION OR THE ASH FROM THE BURNT ENAMEL FIRST TO ENSURE BETTER CONNECTION BETWEEN THE WIRES. I personally use a tissue with a little bit of alcohol to wipe out the burnt enamel. (Alcohol because it evaporates in itself so you don't have to worry about water screwing up the connection)
4.) When you're starting to connect the wires, first make sure that your heatshrink is already inserted in the cord that you're working on (goddamnit I too always forget to put heatshrink first so I always screw the cord up a little bit), and make sure you use the right diameter of heatshrink otherwise the covering will be loose or too tight to fit into the cord.
And, IF YOU'RE UNSURE OF HOW TO CONNECT THE WIRES TO THEIR CORRECT CHANNELS/POLARITY, SPLICE THE GROUND WIRE FIRST (THE WIRE WITH NO COLOR) TOGETHER, PLUG THE JACK IN, PLAY A SONG ON YOUR PHONE (BETTER YET INSTALL A HEADPHONE SOUND TESTER APP) AND THEN TRY TO CONNECT OTHER WIRES TO TEST THE SOUND.
If you have installed a LEFT-RIGHT HEADPHONE TESTER APP on your phone, it's easier to test if the sound output will be transmitted to their right channels.
And, there is another way to know how to connect wires: COLOR CODING. Check the wire's color before you burn the colored enamel to make sure that you know where to connect.
Usually, the BLUE and GREEN are for the signal/output wires, the RED is for the MICROPHONE SIGNAL and the COPPER COLOR is of course the GROUND WIRE.
5.) When you finally splice the wires to their right channels, MAKE SURE TO TWIST THEM PROPERLY. under-twist it and your connection wouldn't be good. OVERTWISTING IT WILL CAUSE THE WIRE TO STRAIN AND BREAK. Just twist it just right until it reaches the end of the splicing wire.
When you reached the end of these wires, CUT THE FRAYING ENDS OF THE WIRE. THIS IS WHY YOU HAVE TO GIVE WIRES A LITTLE BIT OF ALLOWANCE. I just found out recently (yes I fixed another loose headphones and I'm proud to say it worked) that FRAYED WIRES AND LONGER SPLICED WIRES MAKES THE CONNECTION POORER. I don't know how, I don't know why but that's how it works.
6.) If you finally connected the two wires, TEST IT FIRST (check out tip #4). you don't want to cover and insulate everything then finding out later that it still looses or doesn't work. If it works, then try to tap the wires gently. If the sound is smooth and don't hear any white noise or the sound doesn't disconnect even if you tap or pinch it, that means the connection is good and ready to solder. But if the sound disconnects or you hear a white noise or crackling, that means you haven't twisted the wire properly or you didn't remove the fraying parts properly.
That's it, thanks for reading and following the tips ;)
Edit:
In addition to tip #3, IF YOU'RE STARTING TO REMOVE THE ENAMEL OUT, MAKE SURE THAT YOU ONLY BURN THE ENAMEL, AND NOT MELT THE WIRES. To do this, just apply fire to the wire using lighter and if the enamel starts to burn SHUT THE FRICKING LIGHTER OFF, PUT IT AWAY AND LET THE FRICKING FIRE FROM THE ENAMEL CRAWL AND BURN ITSELF.
You don't need to keep applying fire to the wire otherwise you'll just melt the whole wire altogether. Again, LET THE ENAMEL BURN ITSELF AND BLOW THE FIRE IF IT REACHES YOUR DESIRED POINT OF SPLICING.
Haaa ha haa, sehr cool... Hammer Idee! LG Felix
Oh very cool... VERY cool. Gonna make that. Longboarding needs tanglefree tunes.
sooo true...... feel the vibes and beats......the Sound and bass......while being free on the flow. fuck yeah.
exactly so. I have some nice woody earbuds. They are about to get pimped.
I love how he did the end
Takes far more time and bother to do this than to just untangle the headphone cable
Thumbs up for the magician like movements just before the outro xD (but I gotta tell you, If I ever needed tangled free earphones, I would just buy a pair...If sound quality was important, I wouldn't jerry rig an expensive pair of earphones... )
wit a bit of effort you could make something amazing this way ... I mean also with some good quality earbuds (cheap good quality ones like the KZ ATE / KZ ED9 or Xaoimi Piston2 etc) some nice, maybe black and blood red cablesand some quality wrap not just trat shrinking plastic stuff .. but that said there would be I guess a big loss of quality if you fuck up the cables from hifi headsets
Ha.... tangle free my balls! You just made some dirt magnet headphones...very smart..
do you know the diameter of the paracord you used? I found some that is 1mm, 2mm, 3 or 4 but I think 2mm might be the best? I have never used paracord before so can't really visualise which size would be best for the headphones..
I just got a brand new Razer headset, and it's beautiful, but it has the standard thin rubber cables. I'd really love to do this to them, but I'm WAY too afraid to cut up a brand new set of headphones. :( I wish I had super handy friends.
Another idea as it's usually correctly done: put the shrinking tube in before soldering the pieces.
Why do you burn those poor wires with that lighter? The copper oxidizes and your solder joints become crap. A good flux - and keeping your soldering iron hot enough - will burn away the coating without any damage to the wires themselves (which will also be tinned for free in the process).
next time make sure you clean your wires before trying to solder them. that's why your solder didn't flow at all, giving you junky connections.
Instead of cutting the wires and patching them back together, wouldn't it be easier to open the earbuds and unsolder and resolder them after words. I mean it wouldn't be any harder to remove the earbud part and reconnect them than to cut and patch the cable. Much cleaner look I would think. I replaced the earbud part on my ipod earbuds in like 15 minutes when they stopped working after 3 years.
I'm pretty sure cutting and resoldering earphones ruins the audio quality.
A solution in search of a problem. Why not just braid thick cord to the outside of the cables, and avoid all that cutting and soldering? I like most of your videos, but this one illustrates that not all ideas are worthy.
Share some more techniques without doing wire surgery..😐
This is great but I dont trust my self doing that
I dont wanna fuck up...
You know, it's less weird that you're not speaking during the tutorial *if you mute the audio from the camera.*
I wouldn't have wasted my time decking out those cheap plastic buds. I would rather doctor up a nicer brand, or a higher quality ear bud.
U know, I live my earphones but their cable is so fuckin thin I just gte scared to use them it feels like the cable will break any sec
kinda dont want to do this to my 300 dollar earbuds, but nice video, thumbs up
I got heat shrink tubes that were too big :( Now I gotta wait another 2-3 months for Aliexpress to ship the smaller ones lol...
Roses are red
Violets are blue
This video is helpful
And you thought so too :)
Just coil cable around a pencil, & heat them up with heat gun or by submerging into a cup of boiled water and put it in refrigerator for a couple of minute.
i am having so expensive headphones if it will not work after cutting and then rejoining it. then my brother won't leave me
good, can you help me??. My bose are detached from plastic.
simpler than that: wrap earphones with hockey tape. you dont need to cut them and you can use different colors of tape...thank me later.
Sluchawki w oplocie paracord 50zl.teraz kup dobre sluchawki i paracord i polutuj gdzie ile osob ma lutownice i umiejetnosci. To zupelnie jak odrestaurowac lopate warta 15zl
It certainly doesn't tangle or knick, but the wires can still break.
be very careful when stripping the coating off the wires as it can be very easy to cut through them partially when not using a good tool like his
What earphones were they ? Are they so special to you ? Or used just to make a tutorial ???
After you burn the metal cables i m sure the sound will be perfect...
good work but nex time before taking paracord guts out tie it to the headphone cable and pull ... boom one bullet two rabita
whats the black rubber thingy you burn to seal the ends called?
here is an idea, before you pull the white strand of the paracord out, tape the cable to one extreme, it will pull the cable in neatly and you save one step.
Instructions are not clear... How did you connect the wires?
My fingers hurt when you press the heat shrink cable! It happens when I use it!
Simply I will go to shop and buy nylon braided earphones
Hi Mike new sub'r. What's on your Playlist?
name of the product I mean what's the name of this cable plz tell me bro
THNX FOR SHARING very enjoyable
Earbuds with wires that aren't as thin as a noodle, sign me up!
I know a easy way just buy a tangle free earphone for 20$😂
Plzz let we know what u use to make is plzzz make sure u r showing things on screen or write in description
ಥ್ಯಾಂಕ್ಯೂ thank you my india banglore
hi mike please inform me names of material used in this video to make head fone specially pipes which get melt
No wonder they call you survivalmike.
Interesting. Is the quality of the iem still the same if you do this method?
Good idea man! The video is worth watching simply for the bit where you stretch that shrink tubing, I have never seen that done. That little trick is going to help me a lot.
Was wenn in dem mittleren Teil n Mikro drinne ist ?!? :/
What if there is a mic in the middle thing there ? :/
U r lilly's best friend right? We love her she's doing gr8 👍
Couldn't you have done that without cutting the middle plastic bit?
Awesome idea! Now I'm gonna have to try that myself. I liked the fast forward of you moving at the end...it reminded me of Benny Hill.
you can keep one string of those white to pull the wires good project
That has got to be the most burnt ass soldering iron tip I have ever seen. Notice how nothing was being transferred on to the wire. Man homie upgrade your life and get some new tips for that thing.
Electricians are really spazzy and energetic people!
le faltó un detalle es haberle puesto unos muelles de bolígrafos en lo extremos de los cables asin no fallarán ni se tendrá reliar para escucharlo
Jajajajjaj la mejor soldadura con estaño que e visto ( nótese la ironía)
Cut the speaker's and tape them to the para cord and never get tangled again
What is that black starw like one u used nd heated on a flame to come close to wires called
thank you Mr. Bean this is really a helpful idea.
geeeenius but thats alot of hell no how about i send u money and u can mail me one
EXCELENTE VIDEO, ES UNA LASTIMA QUE NO SE TIENE LA HERRAMIENTA ADECUADA PARA PODER HACERLO..
**grabs scissors**
me: Nope fuck this im out!
Technology can solve world hunger and many more
what are the black bits of tape bits that he puts onto to cover the ends
Step one go to the store and buy Bluetooth headphones that is all
You'll get better result if you solder wires directly, without burning them before.
You'll get best connection if burn it with soldering iron and solder ;)
It may be more work, but it's a hell of a lot more fun.
it would be nice to know the supplies I need.....
wow very helpful best idea ****** star
What brand wire strippers are you using?
Welchen Durchmesser muss das Paracord haben? Und wo finde ich sowas im Haushalt, bestellen ist meistens recht teuer wegen Versand.
Audio is busted. I could not hear you talk.
great idea ...btw why you don't say w word? :)
Or u can get flat cable earbuds, but nice vid doe.
