How-to: Change your headphone's minijack! (now w/videos)

[Baines93]

hi all, i have a fantastic set of sennheiser CX300's. I really like them, but i have a ZVM, with the earphone jack on the top, and my cans have a right angled plug, which i find causes problems when in my pocket. Anyway, i dont wanna upgrade them because im only young (14) and dont really know what type of "sound" i want, and mine arent fake. But im wondering, before i render the temporerily useless, whats the wire like inside them, fibres,paint,insulation,or transparent coating? As i only want to do it if they are not fibres or painted. Thanks in advance, Matt
