why do companies still use shitty electrolyte caps

why not just move over to ss caps

This is what I was going off of earlier

Mostly price probably

Ss caps are like a few cents more expensive probably

@az4521 wait wait wait wait wait wait, so explain this impedance thing as boilerplate as you can.

Does android detect impedance through headphone cables?

Basically if you put a certain resistance on your mic line android detects it as a button press

If you short mic to ground it's play/pause

Yeet, thank you. I can add buttons to anything then, yeah?

240ohm is volume up I think

resistance to ac current?

Yep

No just resistance

Just splice in a mic and a jack with support to existing headphones and I'm gucci

I can look the rest up online later, thanks fam 👌

?

so basically a mic line control is just different lines of different resistance?

Yeah basically

And a microphone too

I have superlux cans with no mic and wanted to add a mic, so I could also splice in a control board if I wanted.

iOS does it differently though, they use some signaling idk

that's pretty fucking clever

But for android, just short the mic pin to ground with different resistances

I should have bothered to look this shit up sooner 🤔

It's not really too important to knoe

how to normal headphones deal with it tho

Most people aren't diying inline buttons on their headphones

and how does android handle different headphones that don't use this mechanism

Android detects normal TRS headphones by detecting a dead short across mic and ground when you plug them in

trs???

3 pin

Or whatever

I just mean that I love to tinker and this was always a tinker thing, I just assumed an end-user couldn't add this function to existing cans for some reason 😂

Well you can't if the plug is TRS

You need your headphones to have a TRRS plug

4 pin balanced audio?

Just cut off the 3-pin and splice in 4-pin lmao 😂

wait a second what ground does the mic use

Same grouind as the others silly
