Recabling your Headphones

People will recable headphones because they believe that there are higher end wires out there that will deliver greater sound reproduction than the stock cord that came attached to the headsets. Recabling is never a requirement, and if you are satisfied with the sound quality of your headphones, you may as well just leave them be. Headphones are not exactly designed to be recabled, so it takes a little do-it-yourself skill, and a soldering
 iron. But it is not particularly complicated, and it can result in a richer sound. Some would argue that the subtle changes more sophisticated wires can make when it comes to music reproduction, are much more apparent when using headphones, since the are directly on the ears.
