Hey guys,
Found a pair of Razer Kraken over the ear headphones in my e-waste bin.
Luckily, they are of the hot pink variety.
Anyway, the cable is severed up by the headphones, so I wanted to splice in another plug just to see if they worked or if that was why they were tossed. cutting off the sheath of the wire exposes something weird. There are two strands of shock absorbing string, and three twisted lengths of colored copper. There is a red length, a blue one, and a copper colored one. They do not appear to be insulated from each other!? Also, there is a fine clothing thread inside each one of these, also, I presume, for shock absorption. What the heck should i do?
I've spliced audio cable before, and the little strands inside the cable have always been sheathed and sometimes surrounded by a steel grounding sheath. Or dipped in thin rubber or something. I'm confused.
Anyway, anybody have any pointers?
Cheers,
Alex
