After spending more money than I can count, breaking and buying new earphones every 3 months I decided that I will end this sequence once for all by creating my own earphone, better, cheaper and that I will be able to fix more easily. But I do not know exactly where to start considering I want to make a phone 7.1 and want to cancel noise in the microphone and control the volume.
What I have so far that I can use:
Several broken headphones
one multiturn potentiometer
a cable HDMI (which has 16 wires inside)
a soldering iron
60w Soldering iron
What should I buy? and how can I make it come true?

If I already have the components, why should I buy a new one? and even more expensive?

How are they broken? Why are they breaking so easily?

I will use this example image. In my red wire from the front case is thinner than a hair, seriously. And this wire goes to the back is where solder. And if the contact failure I get no sound, and sometimes it interferes with the other side of the headphone as well. I also have the most basic problem of wires that break down inside and the only way to solve it is cutting a piece and welding all over again.

I seen on instructables where dude just dropped regular ear buds into the cup of ear muffs.

Are you saying the wires are failing at the solder points on your speakers?

Yes
And he breaks by natural stress.

Just repair it one more time, and use a hot glue gun for some stress relief.
If you glue the wire to the wall inside of the headphone shell, there is no breaking it at the solder point.

Don't even bother soldering the same wire, buy a new 3.5 audio plug and use speaker wire. It might not look good but it will last a long time.
