Title: [SOLD] Audio Technica M50 with detachable cable mod - $100 shipped
Post by: khaangaaroo on Sat, 16 November 2013, 21:26:39
Used for about two weeks. Selling because the fit isn't good for me. (Small head and big ears)

Comes with the original packaging and carrying pouch. I can include a working patch cable or the original cable that I cut off. Or add $5 for an audio connector and I'll make the original cable into a working patch cable.

$100 shipped [SOLD]

As a head's up, unless you have a solder pot to tin the wires, you're likely to not be able to solder a connector onto that stock cable as it uses a litz style wire.

I didn't know there was such thing as a solder pot, or that these hard-to-solder wires had a name...haha. I just watched a youtube video of a solder pot, and I sort of want one now. But I've been able to solder the m50 cable before. It's difficult, but I kind of have a technique down.

Also, the headphones are on hold for Bunny until I can get him a more accurate shipping quote.

whatever you do, do NOT go to box brothers for shipping. i figured since i was there to get some stuff boxed up i'd get it shipped already.

they wanted 150 to ship something when USPS's site said 50. i mean i get they have to get a cut but 100?? **** them.

I've never heard of box brothers before. You mean these guys here? http://boxbrosla.com/

I usually print labels and ship stuff from home in my underwear.
