KetDirect Gold 4 Pole 3.5mm Male Repair headphone Jack Plug Metal Audio Soldering & Spring

As others have mentioned, not one for the faint-hearted in terms of soldering (I used a  Dekton DT60240 LED Magnifier with Clamps and Soldering Stand  to help me, which was perfect for this job, and took it really steadily, stopping every time I wanted to curse!), but when assembled it's a really nice plug that will fit through the earphone socket gap in most phone cases - the diameter of the external part is 6mm. Every other plug I found was over 9mm and would not have fitted. Also this is much more elegant looking.It comes with two tiny pieces of metal shaped like a C - I couldn't work out what they were for and they were so small I had little confidence I could fit them correctly in any case. So I just left them out. I think they were for some kind of cable clamp/crimp, but I don't know how they should work.I'm really happy with the result - well worth the money. I don't think it would be possible to get this small a plug without the soldering challenge.

Well made, very smart and came with heatshrink wrap. As others have said this is not the easiest plug to solder to. There is very little space to work with and even using a low watt soldering iron with a very fine tip the plastic started to melt on the top wire. If you have a bench with great lighting and adjustable clamps to hold everything in place then you can achieve a very neat finish... if not, forget trying to do it whilst holding together with one hand and soldering with the other.

Bought one of these plugs to repair a friends Beats - Tour headphones. To be honest, the plug is better quality than headphones. I'd have saved the £5.99 price and put the money towards a good set of headphones, but that's just me.This plug is a lot smaller than the usual TRRS bulky replacements you can get from Maplin, so they can be a bit fiddly. In order to make a good job of repairing the headphones, you ideally need a soldering iron that gets hot enough to burn through each conductors lacquer. You need a vice and an overhead magnifying glass would be very useful. Strip the outer insulation back about an inch, tin each plug pole, tin each conductor then once you've sorted out your wire colours, solder each wire to the correct pole.The only thing that I would have liked on this plug is some sort of clamp to hold the cable more securely... These headphones are so poorly made, I'd wager that they're fake.. unless All Beats - Tours are this badly made.

Bought this to repair a broken jack on a gaming headset. As mentioned in other reviews it helps if you have a black belt in soldering. Really fiddly to assemble. Otherwise looks like good quality.

By far the best quality replacement plug I've ever had. Yes, the poles are pretty small, however, nothing that careful soldering won't manage. All the pins worked, including the microphone pin (first time for me and about 3 other replacement plugs over the years). The housing and included strain relief are excellent for a replacement plug too.

If there were only 4 wires in my Bose Soundsport earphones, as illustrated for this product, then I might have succeeded. With a fine-tipped soldering iron and a helping-hands tool, I was able to solder the RRS connections to get functioning stereo sound.But in my earphones, there were 3 earths - 1 from the left, 1 from the right (both shielded) and a third, unshielded earth covering the white microphone lead. Now, you can't run an unshielded wire from where it enters the plug to the furthest soldering point without it touching other parts of the plug. It would require a tiny sleeve (certainly smaller than the 1mm heat shrink I had available) to protect the microphone earth.Even then, the tolerances are small. The illustration suggests solder the left (blue) lead on the outside of the ring, but that makes it very difficult to push the case back over the plug to close it.Read the reviews. I'm not sure that anyone says they successfully fitted one of these jack plugs and got all functions (left, right, mic and in-line volume/track control) working.Choose a cheaper, if less beautiful, TRSS jack that is suitable for home repair.

I purchased some cheap-looking 3.5 mm jacks from Amazon. They had only three rings so I couldn't use the microphone or volume controls on my Sennheiser Momentum earplugs. The quality and finishing was horrible. I saw these and got them. Such a difference. I suffered soldering the wires in with my 30W soldering iron. I recommend trying with something more powerful. You will absolutely need a helping hand tool to keep everything in place as you solder. This jack looks better and is of better quality than the one that came attached to the earplugs.

Because not so expensive, small and good looking I decided to give it a try.At the beginning I could not soldering it because require a lot pf precision and skills so I gave it 3 stars, but i persevered and with a lot patient I managed to attach all the wire. At the end I am very pleased with the result (it looks very close to the original). Note that I did not use the supplied silver cover, I preferred to use the original one that came with my HTC earphone that fit well with it.

Bij aankomst zag de jack er prachtig uit; mooie metalen afwerking, etc.Bij het solderen ging het echter al gauw een beetje mis. In plaats van soldeerlippen zijn er vier kleine stukjes metaal (ongeveer 0,5 vierkante centimeter) waar je de vier draden op moet solderen. De stukjes metaal zijn gescheiden door, je raadt het al, plastic. Als gevolg wordt het een grote chaos van gesmolten plastic en kortsluitend soldeer. Verder bleken de draadkleuren in het plaatje verkeerd te zijn voor mijn Corsair headset; de L en MIC draden moesten verwisseld worden.Uiteindelijk ben ik 4 uur bezig geweest met de jack. Daarna deed hij het wel gewoon, daarom twee sterren ipv een ster.Conclusie: als je veel tijd en geduld hebt, en een soort soldeergod bent, zal het je misschien lukken om deze netjes vast te zetten op de kabel. Anders kun je beter op zoek naar een jack met meer ruimte en fatsoenlijke soldeerlippen.

Después de comprar distintos modelos este fue el único que me sirvió para el iPhone. Material de calidad y fácil de soldar.

Ho acquistato questo jack, anche se più caro rispetto ad altri, per riparare delle cuffie Beats. La manifattura è buona, e il contenuto del "kit" è degno di nota, ci sono anche le guaine termo restringentiAttenzione solo che se non ben protette le saldature possono toccare sull'involucro esterno quando si avvita

Der Stecker wurde für einen Steckerersatz für In-Ear Kopfhörer gekauft, mit 4 Kabelfarben ähnlich wie in den Produktbildern.Ich kann mich den anderen Kundenrezensionen nur anschließen. Ich habe bisher einmal etwas gelötet und habe mir für den Stecker einen kleinen Lötkolben ausgeliehen. Ich hatte keine dritte Hand oder eine Lupe und habe als Anfänger 3 Stunden vor dem Teil gesessen, rumgefriemelt um alles zu löten und nirgendwo Kurzschlüsse zu generieren. Es ist ratsam immer erstmal jedes Kabel mit dem entsprechenden Kontakt zu testen und nach jedem angelöteten Kabel ausprobieren, ob die Lötstelle hält und funktioniert.11€ sind schon etwas happig für das Teil, aber ich wollte unbedingt eins mit beiliegendem Schrumpflauch und hier sind direkt 2 dabei.Am Ende, wenn alles funktioniert sieht es mega gut aus und man ist als Anfänger sehr stolz auf seine Arbeit :)).Der Stecker ist sehr stabil und nach der ersten Woche in Gebrauch kann ich mich noch nicht beschweren.

Pas donné mais fait le job. Demande de la précision dans la soudure car peu de place pour fermer avec le cylindre d’acier.
