Don't try to splice earphone cables

|-|ercules · 2010-11-13T03:37:45+00:00

After weeks to get my sound isolated earphones, which cut out surrounding noiseperfectly with a bit of music, I ordered an iPod shuffle, a hotel matchbox sizedMP3 player.But to keep my address private I sent it to my old address which redirects to myPO BOX,I always do that for mail order and on the occasion a courier goes to my oldaddress theysoon work it out and I get them to send it to the PO BOX themselves.JB HIFI didn't do that, it says order complete and no IPOD... yada yada yada, soI cutthe cables on the Blackberry earphones and the $90 Sound Insulating earphones,wellworth the money!There's 5 wires! Blackberry uses a smal USB plug so I was trying to plug my SIearphonesinto the Blackberry. So I snip further up the cable where it splits into 2 andthere's 2 wiresbut different colours to the 5 at the base of the cable. OK I'm going to haveto hotwire theearphones and see what gives a signal. So I snip the $90 earphone cable anddespite havingstripped 1000 wires with my teeth with 100% record, this cable is made of weirdrubber,and the wires aren't even copper or insulated, they're frayed wire in the samerubber covering,insulate by a powder coating it seems, I got one wire stripped but no luck. 2earphones wrecked,now I have to buy a paper with good ole earplugs and hope I don't get verballyassaulted too badly.HercThe Unrecognized Truman under 10 years strong sonic torture.-- One small click for a mouseOne giant upgrade to

Plus, after paying duties and taxes and freight, you'd be near $100 anyway.
