Ok /g/ I have a quick question about my super ghetto setup.

Long story short I fucked up my M50's 3.5mm jack and needed to replace it. So what I did was take a shitty pair of ear buds, cut it near the jack, and attached the wires to my M50's wires using pigtail splicing. It works and I'm happy.

What I'd like to know is how much did this change the audio quality? I don't know anything about audio stuff so I'd appreciate some input. Is the audio quality now equivalent of the shitty earbuds?

One more thing: the M50's use TRS jacks while the skull candy ear buds use TRRS. Does this screw with anything other than not having a mic?

Thanks

>inb4 solder a new jack
I might but this works for now and was free

I can't tell much of a difference in audio quality.

Im asking because Im curious about how this all works

bumpin

>>57137365
eh looks like both wires are similar gauge, should be fine
>>
>>57137365
Use a lineman splice instead of a pigtail. keeps shit neat. As for quality, as long as there's a good connection and you didn't cutoff an amplifier it shouldn't change the circuit aside from you losing your "audio pro high quality low-res gold superconnector" jack

Yeah Im changing up the wiring a bit because the sound is dependent on that so Ill keep it in mind

OP here again in case anyone is interested.

I fucked up the wiring so I resorted to using a new jack to attach the wires to.
I didn't have solder so I had to improvise.

Here it is in all its glory

which level of autism are you currently on, anon?

>>57139279
shit nigga what am I looking at
>>
When the plug on my headphones broke I bought a solderless jack from the store for a couple bucks and I couldnt tell a difference. Instead of solder it just had little screws to wrap the wires around.

>He fell for the ath meme 50s meme
splicing doesn't do any good for reliablity in the long run. I recommend foing the removeable wire mod so that you can replace the wire to your "amazing build quality" headphones, in case your wife's son accidently tugs the cable.

>>57137365
kill yourself
>>
>>57139279
oh my lawd you crack me up

anon just buy sum furutech / neutrik connector jack, or hell even a $1 china made 3.5 jack provided you have a soldering stick and solder
>>
Oh Lord, this is a job even the shittiest soldering tool is suitable for. Just strip the insulation off on both, twist them around each other, heat them up and let the solder soak in. Done.
>>
>>57137365

it didn't change the audio quality. If the wires are connected you're good, and it sounds like you're good
you're good

good job
