You can easily replace a headphone cable, either by getting a complete fixed new wire or making your own through the following method: 1. First and foremost, choose a high-quality cable to replace the older one. You can go for a flexible 4 conductor microphone cable which is typically under budget.  2. Choose the length of the new cable, the recommended length would be anywhere between 4 feet to 10 feet. You should choose the length according to your comfort and needs, if you plan to use your headphones for watching television then go for a longer length.  3. The next step is to pair the wire with a gold plated and quality stereo mini/standard jack based on your preference.  4. Now gather the tools that you need:  5. A soldering iron with small tip  6. Sharp blade  7. Wire stripper  8. Core solder  9. Diagonal cutters (or anything to cut the wires)  10. Head screwdrivers (to open the headphones) 11. Needle nose pliers  12. Multimeter or a continuity tester  13. 3rd hand tool or soldering vice  14. You need to prepare the cable and attach all the parts together. First cut out the wire and attach it to the stereo jack carefully. Ensure that you cut off extra pieces of rope material, paper and spread out wires.  15. Move to the next process of soldering the wire. Strip and place black and white wires all the way down and tie them together. Place the plug into the 3rd tool or soldering vice and measure the length to cut the red and blue wires.  16. For the tricky part of soldering shielding wires to the body of the body, melt some solder inside the plug’s sleeve. Now solder the wire to the body of the sleeve and make sure to not touch the ring or tip. Now move on to solder the next two wires: red and blue, red wire to the tip and blue to the ring lead.  17. Now slide a coiled cable or shoelace over the cable and secure everything tightly.  18. Take off the foam padding of your headphones and you’ll notice 4 screws surrounding where the wires are connected. Unscrew these and examine the wires, the two going into the second earpiece need not be touched.  19. Furthermore, you need to place and solder the other wires in place of the taken out older ones. And secure the headphones by screwing up the screws. You should also check there is not too much cable inside the earpiece, you can cut out the extra cable if desired.  20. Now put the headphone jack in an audio device and check the sound.
