I then cleaned the wires from burning off the coating (black soot) with alcohol wipes. This could be a little tricky if you are not familiar with this kind of thing, you don't want to damage these very thin wires. They have a coating on them you need to burn off in order to make a good connection. (2nd ring)Īlso, you will want to quickly burn the tips of the wires after you strip them and before you solder. Two wires, Copper AND Red/Green (ground), go to pole 3. I determined the Following on my headset: To figure out where the remaining 3 wires went, I had to carefully grind down the plastic on the old jack with a Dremel tool to get down to the wires and connections. Remaining 3 wires: No continuity (Which is why Right ear and Mic didn't work). I had continuity between Blue and pole 1 (tip) and Copper and pole 3 (Which is why the left ear still worked). So unless you have the exact setup I describe below, you are going to have to test for continuity with a multimeter (on the strands that are not broken.That is, if any of them still work). There are many different variations of colored wires, depending upon your make/model headset. Therefore, a total of 5 different wires within the main cable.and 4 connection points on the TRRS plug.
Inside the black wire were 2 additional wires Red and Copper. Inside the white wire were 3 additional wires Blue, Green, and Red/Green. I found two inner multi-strand wires a white and a black. I cut the main cable about an inch back from the plug. Knowing this, I bought a replacement 3.5mm TRRS plug (4-pole.Right, Left, Ground, Microphone) online to make the repair. I knew the break was near the plug because you could wiggle the cable and get intermittent sound in the right ear. One too many pulls on the cord instead of the plug rendered the right ear and microphone dead. My kids have a Hyper X Cloud Core (KHX-HSCC-BK) gaming headset they use on PS4.
Suitable Ohmmeters (function found in a DMM - Digital Multimeter) can be purchased from larger hardware stores for about $10 Therefore they will both go on the appropriate earth pin for your connection type. You may find that there are two earth wires (possibly), 1 for the speakers and 1 for the microphone.

Write down the colour of the wire and to which pin it is connected to, then you will know how to connect them into the new jack plug.
The best way to do this is to cut the cable at least 2 inches from the jack plug, strip off the sheath back to the jack plug to expose the wires, strip a bit of the insulation from each of the wires and then using the Ohmmeter, check between the jack plug connector and each wire to ascertain where it goes. Here is a link to a video which shows how to connect the cable into the plug.Īs there are 2 standards as to how the wires are connected, (see image below) you may have to use an Ohmmeter to determine the correct connections. You will no doubt find more suitable suppliers It is not a recommendation to use them, it is merely shown to give an idea of the cost and to confirm that this is what you have. Since it is a gaming headset, I'm assuming it has a 4 pin (TRRS) jack plug. It is better to replace the plug and create a new connection. The cable has probably a fractured wire where it enters the jack plug.
