Hi all,
yesterday my headphone wire broke up.
Model: Creative HS-450. As you can see there is this Volume control+ Mic On/Off "station". That's where the cable broke off. I cut the thing out from both sides. Now I want to join it together without that "module". I am no electrician. I have very little knowledge of electricity in general.
What I did was, burn the edge of the wires. And then pigtail splice the matching colors. What happens is the left sound channel (the bright green wire) and the right sound channel (the dark green wire), when pigtail-ed I get no sound, BUT when I press them with my thumbnails I hear crystal clear my headphones. So, there is hope. Do I need to solder the cables? Or may be I haven't burned enough of the cable sleeve? It's not pritty, I know.
How do you do an "in-line cable splice"? Like here: Is it necessary?
I know I have to buy heatshrink and I don't own a soldering thingy, but I am thinking of buying a "solder pen". I whink it will do the trick. Anyone have some practical advice? Thanks in advance.
