What things I need for making a headphones with a detachable cable mod? Soldering kit 30w? What other things. I want to test modding my Coloud cheap phones for fun, so can people tell me things I need and where to get the cable like that... If you suggest where to buy the equipment for the mods, please use amazonuk...
 
I have soldering kit so that I won't need

Depends if you want 1 or 2 cables coming out of your headphones. For 2 cables (  a bit easier to do) you need:
 
2 mono 3.5mm sockets http://www.maplin.co.uk/screened-3.5mm-mono-chassis-socket-1154
2 mono 3.5mm jacks http://www.maplin.co.uk/metal-3.5mm-monoplug-1148
1 stereo 3.5mm jack http://www.maplin.co.uk/metal-3.5mm-stereo-plug-1187
 
And wire. I'm sure others will know what wire is better. Though depends on if you want to use silver or copper wire. Have a read up on the forum to see which one you'd prefer.

It will be one cable coming from my colouds... and I suggested amazonuk, because it ships to my country in here Finland. hmm, I'll need to figure where I'll get those stuff in here... Can you answer what is the difference between silver and copper cable?

Seems Mouser have a finnish site. Much better selection than amazon and they ship to Finland
 
For a 1 cable mod you'll want:
 
Two 3.5mm stereo jacks http://fi.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Neutrik/NYS231BG/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMv0W4pxf2HiV3OlVHsyQGMd98ZF%252bJIbi20%3d
 
One 3.5mm stereo socket http://fi.mouser.com/ProductDetail/161-7300-EX/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMv0W4pxf2HiV1GLXLqYoI%252bMFnhAMOPJz4E%3d
 
Not too sure of the differences between copper and silver cable myself. Just know silver costs a lot more and people argue its better.

Thanks for the links... I have a soldering kit, but I'm totally noob, I have looked few threads in here, but is there any where a damn video tutorial or good tutorial with a lot pictures? I wanna just see if I can do it right and might buy some little expensive headphones and do it for them... HMM this will be a tricky project for a noob
 
EDIT: Mouser shipping cost a lot 20€ if I wanted to order two of each.. Oh well...
