3.5mm combined audio cable

[Dawelio]

Hello everyone,

I'm after a cable that looks like this and was wondering if anyone knows where to possibly get one and in the length of 1m (1 meter):

I'm after the simplicity of having just 1 cable that splits into 2 connectors. And not 2 seperate ones that I am currently using (due to cable management and overall neatness).

Thanks,
Dawelio

Just wrap electrical tape around the 2 separate cables you've got now, solved.

It's not really possible to have 1 cable into two connectors, unless it has been wrapped in another skin. The fact is you have a headphone and mic connector there, meaning two cables.

Why are you using such a set up any way? isn't everything decent USB now?

That is basically what you would get, even if such a cable existed. I've seen dual RCA cables wrapped in a single outer sheath.

Well that will look absolutely ugly, isn't simple (as it will be over 2 meters long and wrapping electrical tape that long will just not work good overall unfortunately.

Well it is exactly that, I used to have a cable like this, but that was a few years ago.

Cause the headset I am using isn't USB connected, look it up if your curious: Sennheiser GSP 302.

And I don't like USB headsets, since the last few ones I used, there was a small buzzing sound in the background on the desktop which was rather annoying.

I would get a new headset, personally. If you are getting buzzing then you have a ground loop somewhere, it's not the fault of the headset dude.

Yeah well I wasn't asking for advice on a new headset with this thread and I'm not getting a new one for the record. As this one suits me very well and therefore I'm trying to get something that will improve my current setup.

The cable you seek does not exist dude. You may be able to get something custom made and braided, but it would cost you the same as a decent USB headset.

And then of course you run into the issue of having a braided cable. They are horrid, stiff and get on your tits.

You seem so certain about everything dude. you've must have missunderstood me, since I just got this recommended to me on another forum, which is what I'm looking for, but not exactly like the one in the picture above: https://pluus.se/shop/skarvsladd-till-horlurar-296458p.html

Even HyperX and Kingston makes one:

You seem to misunderstand me, dude. That is just two cables in one jacket. It's also as expensive as I thought it would be which is why I said I would (personally) get a new headset.

The amount of money you spend on computers I figured you would have a top class headphone and mic set up.

Yes, exactly and that is what I’m after. Not sure what you thought I was asking for...

Just because I spend some money to have a good computer, doesn’t mean I have to have the best headset out there.

There is also something called comfort and I prioritize that over having the best (ie, Sennheiser Game Zero, which is considered a top tier headset, doesn’t fit me good as an example).

Anywho, I didn’t come here to having to explain my purchases or about what headset I’m using or not using. I came here asking for a specific kind of extension cable and that is what this thread is about. Would appreciate if it didn’t derail any further.

You can make it yourself, or ask anyone in electric repair shop to make it for you. It is a 15 min job. Electronic stores, or music stores sell connectors. Cable you can buy in spools. Just take the length you need, split it at the ends, and solder connectors. Components are available from budget to studio level. And you can easily make it much higher quality than you can find in stores. That one in the picture is really bad.

Why is the one in the picture bad?...

That cable is too thin. If you peel it you will see maybe 5 thin wires for each connection. Surface of the wire is what transmits the signal. More wires, more surface, better signal.

It depends on your needs, but i prefer to spend the same, or a little more on a custom cable if i can't find quality one, and know that i can plug anything in it. That one is good for Skype headphones. If you have 300€ headphones, or speakers and put it in that cable, you wasted money on headphones.

A decent copper cable, with good connectors will give you less hiss sound if you use it as an extension.

 

[looz]

Yeah nah that cable is likely fine even for hifi headphones. The current is very low.

So you want one cable that splits into 2 to support both mic and audio?

Check out plantronics. They might be able to help you. They have an assortment of cables for their professional headsets as well as gaming.

I have made my own in the past. But I honestly don't see whats wrong with the one you posted. Both cables or stuck together so it's as neat as its going to get.

Yes, that is correct. But more one cable that splits into 2 female connectors on one end and male connectors on the other.

There’s nothing wrong with the one I posted, just wondered if anyone might have something different and perhaps a shorter option than that.

 

[scubasteve]

only place i did find it was on their actual site for 9 bucks

[AlienALX]

Nah that's a phone 4 pin to mic and headphones. He needs basically two cables in one.

I would just buy 2 single cables and wrap them in a custom sleeve. That is all it is after all.
