"This was my first time soldering and my friend and I got my Sony's to work on the first try. Headphones sound good as new.



Couple notes for you geniuses out there.

1.) There is insulation on the audio wires, burn it off with the solder iron otherwise you can't make a connection. This can take …"  Read Full Review »

"Audio Patch and Headphone Extention Cables: I find this product works fine, but be careful not to subject plugs to pulls and angular tugs (remember, plastic breaks easily)

When assembling plan your work, use a good pencil iron and use heat sparingly w/.062 solder... the first time. Damage will occ …"  Read Full Review »

"Very shoddy construction. White plastic insulating material between terminals melts after applying only modest heat to achieve a good solder joint.

Flimsy and floppy to handle while soldering.

The good ones have phenolic, fiber board, or teflon insulators. These seem to be a cheap white plastic …"  Read Full Review »

"It used to be that 15-25W soldering iron was pretty much standard for repair work, now you need something smaller to not burn the insulator separating the connecting rings and tip.

Piece of junk
