    No matter how educated you are about sound and audio, be it expert or beginner, this video is gold! I am puzzled by the lack of views for such a great video.

      Thank you! I suspect the algorithm doesn't appreciate my sporadic content uploading? I plan to produce more in 2024 with the hope that it will improve my stats.

    Take note that the frequency response can change drastically depending on what pads are being used.

      Thank you. I’m really trying to find my voice without doing what everyone else is doing. But it’s difficult to produce original content. I plan to create more soon so stay tuned!

    Just what I was looking for. Got a pair of MDR- V6 and that cable is ungodly. Ordering the female 3.5 end cable now (the one on your link is currently unavailable) and getting to work on them hopefully later this week. Thanks for the instructional.

      You're very welcome! The process is relatively simple, but I thought it would be good to see it done. Really any female cable end will work, but as I mentioned, don't trust wire colors. Instead rely on a simple continuity test. Good luck!

      Here with an update: The patient is out of surgery and better than ever! Thanks again! I am doing this to ALL my wired non-detachable cable headphones from now. One thing to add to help on the cable color matching thing. Instead of cutting the existing headphones cable first, open the driver cup and check for continuity first like with the TRS cable and note of where they go. I would have made the same mistake you made if I didn’t watch your video. But having that schematic of where all go before even turning on the iron made this a breeze. Take care.

      @@cobymela I'm glad my video helped you, and I've personally started doing this with all of my headphones as well. Your idea of checking continuity before ripping things apart is a great idea! Thank you

    Instead of just sticking to talk the mod you did you went to science class getting all about stuffs that is why we clicked. Why you guys talk too much, get to the point, sometimes you just want to see a video bc in caught attention, but it goes allover like full documentary. No wonder little views. Just feedback no hate or something

    • @SomewhatAbnormal
      @SomewhatAbnormal  Před 4 měsíci

      It's a no-win situation really. Some prefer the longer form video with more information, and some prefer to get the point immediately. Nonetheless, I hope you found what you were looking for.
