minus-squareShayeta@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·5 months agoSeems like a good opportunity to learn soldering.
minus-squareleds@feddit.dklinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·5 months agoCan not recommended, those headphone wires are clear coated for insulation, you’d need to burn that off before you’d be able to solder that.

minus-squareNawor3565@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·5 months agoAre you sure? They’re separated by the outer insulation, they wouldn’t need any clear coating unless it was some weird cost-cutting measure.
minus-squareleds@feddit.dklinkfedilinkarrow-up2·5 months agoPretty sure, at least the ones I tried soldering… In the picture there is no additional insulation on the the two copper bundles? Unless they are just shielding for actual insulated signal wire?
