Modded iPhone headphones

I wanted the functionality of the iPhone's headphones with the mic and button, but the sound quality of my IEMs so I did the following mod. Let me know what you think.



[EDIT] These are Crossroads Mylarone X3s [/EDIT]

THATS SO F**KING BEAST! i want a pair!!!!! how long did that take you to do?

It took me about an hour. Now that I now how to do it it shouldn't take as long. They actually sound better than they did with the original cable, less microphonic. I could probably do them for people if there was any interest. Send me an email I guess.

i am totally interested? what do you need (material-wise)?

count me in....

All you need is the original cable from the headphones that came with the iPhone, some headphones of choice (I used the Crossroads Mylarone X3s for it), a soldering iron, solder, hot glue, and superglue.

wow very nicely done I would love my own headphones like that...

i did the same thing, the apple headphones bruised my ear. only took about 20 minutes. modded my sony noise cancelling. now the iphone is even more "perfecter":laugh2:

these are ones that i made.....


my alternative to the apple headphones:

i got tired of the headphones that my iphone came with.. i saw this on here so i took a stab at it... and i love it now....

Awesome jjvaldez, those look great. Everyone who does this should post pics of their headphone mods in this thread.

I was thinking about doing the same thing. I love the white skullcandy. I'm going to perchance them in white and do the same =]

I have another pair of Crossroads Mylarone X3s (the same ones I did in my picture above) only these are white.



These would look/sound awesome with the iPhone cable, looks like I'll be taking out my soldering iron again!

Hmmmm...seeing you have two pairs of those, would you be willing to sell a modded pair of those to me? I can send you my iPhone stock earbuds if you don't have another pair of those. If you are willing to sell them, how much would you charge?

thanks... i really like yours too snozle the skull candy are cool but yours look smaller... id like your but in white... i didn't chose skull candy for any other reason then already having them... [ i had them for a while that is why i was so willing to take them apart]

[edit] i just saw that you have white ones right after i wrote the post.. those are going to look clean......

nice....good luck... post pics when done

hmmmm doesn't say anything about the ear piece having more than 500 times the amount of bacteria in a toilet seat. It only talks about hearing loss, such has nothing to do with this thread.

this is for modifications to headphones.......... not bacteria facts ....
