i have no clue how to use those enamel cables

burn the enamel off

where youre soldering at least

i've done a bunch of shit

depends on the type of enamel tho

some of its a complete pain in the ass to solder

i've heard soldering, using nail polish and sand paper and solder just doesn't stick

hold on actually it might be my solder

probably not

err this sounds complicate, when i solder my new jack onto my xiaomi piston 2.0 what do i have to look out for?

shorts

other than that its ez

just have some heatshrink on hand

shorts?

as in you short left and right at the solder joint

you mean cutting it right

and make sure to test which is left and right obviously

what am i gonna use heatshrink for

if that shit isnt the right length its hell

ahh this sounds complicated man

nah

its not complicated but its super easy to fuck up

Ok ill watch a YT vido before i do it

should be alright

like if you skip simple steps they bite back

its just solder on 3/4 tabs and and screw on the rest of the plug

just have a list you go through

^

its braided cable, will that be a bitctch to strip the wire?

nah

itll have rubber underneath

i got a shitty chink wire stripper too\

ok co

COO

cut through the braid with a knife or something

i'd just replace the whole cable but it depends on what type of iem you have

look forward to the revival of my pistons

most of the time that's not an option

pistons arent removable

replace whole cable sounds complicate

you could do a mmcx or two pin mod i guess
