How to connect the cable in the earphones
With the popularity of wireless headphones, wired headphones still occupy a place in terms of sound quality and stability. However, damaged headphone cables or interface problems often trouble users. This article will combine the hot topics and hot content on the Internet in the past 10 days to provide you with a detailed analysis of the headphone cable connection method and provide practical solutions.
1. Common problems of damaged headphone cables

According to recent hot topics discussed by netizens, headphone cable damage mainly focuses on the following issues:
| Question type | frequency of occurrence | Typical symptoms |
|---|---|---|
| Wire break | high frequency | Silent on one side, poor contact |
| Interface oxidation | IF | Intermittent and noisy sounds |
| Solder joints fall off | low frequency | completely silent |
2. Basic principles of headphone cable connection
A standard 3.5mm headphone plug usually contains four parts:
| touch point | Function | Corresponding wire color |
|---|---|---|
| Tip | left channel | green/blue |
| Ring 1 | right channel | red |
| Ring 2 | Ground wire | copper/yellow |
| Sleeve | Microphone (if any) | white |
3. Detailed explanation of the steps for connecting the headphone cable
1.Preparation tools:Solder, heat shrink tube, wire stripper, multimeter
2.Identify line sequence: Test with a multimeter to determine the function of each wire
3.Welding steps:
| steps | Operational points | Things to note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Peel off the outer skin to expose the inner wires | Avoid damaging internal wires |
| 2 | Tin wires and solder joints | The temperature is controlled at around 300℃ |
| 3 | Weld according to corresponding relationship | Make sure the solder joints are firm and not weak |
| 4 | Insulate with heat shrink tubing | Completely covers exposed parts |
4. Key points for connecting different types of headphones
1.Ordinary stereo headphones: Just connect the left and right channels and ground wires
2.Headphones with microphone: Requires additional microphone line connection
3.Balanced interface headphones: Use four-pole balanced connection method
| Headphone type | Number of connection lines | special request |
|---|---|---|
| Normal stereo | 3 roots | None |
| With microphone | 4 sticks | Need to distinguish the microphone cable |
| Balanced interface | 4 sticks | Requires special balanced plug |
5. Solutions to common problems
1.One side is silent after welding: Check whether the corresponding sound channel welding is firm
2.Noise occurs: It may be that the ground wire has poor contact or short circuit.
3.completely silent: Check whether all solder joints are connected normally
6. Professional maintenance suggestions
For higher value headphones, it is recommended to seek professional repair services. Recent popular repair shop data shows:
| Maintenance items | average price | Repair success rate |
|---|---|---|
| Line replacement and maintenance | 80-150 yuan | 95% |
| Interface replacement | 50-100 yuan | 90% |
| Wire repair | 30-80 yuan | 85% |
7. Tips to prevent damage to headphone cables
1. Use a cable clip to secure the headphone cable to reduce bending
2. Hold the plug instead of pulling on the wire when unplugging or plugging in
3. Clean the interface regularly to prevent oxidation
4. Use the figure-8-shaped wrapping method when storing
Through the above methods, you can effectively extend the life of your headphones or fix them yourself when problems arise. If you are not familiar with welding technology, it is recommended to practice with cheap headphones first and gradually master the skills.
