cmdridq Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I've got one of those coiled extension cables to use with my headphones. But I absolutely hate the "coiled" wire. If I took the jack and plug apart could I attach them to some speaker cable? I assume it's just a matter of soldering two connections on each end? Is there any reason this would not work?

WMcD Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 It will work just fine. For years I had the TV and stereo on the other side of the room and used a non-coiled wire extension to get it over to the sofa. It may have been a Radio Shack product. In any case, it is just wire and nothing high tech. BTW, I took apart what was considered a good set of stereo headphones in its day. Koss Pro-4-A's. The drivers turned out to be just little old Japanese radio speakers. So there was nothing high tech there either. I think the coiled wire thing was a product of Western Electric. The Model 500 boxy dial telephone was the first to have it. Gil . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
