Does anyone know of where I can get a replacement headphone cable (male plugs on both ends) that has a good volume/mute button?
My snowboarding helmet headphone cable is kind of on the fritz, and I'd like to replace it with something a little more durable than what it currently uses. Any ideas?

I dunno if he still hangs around these parts but raf was talking about headphone cable modding in The Other Place just recently, mg33.

Are you using the redphones? my cable just fell apart last week after a year of light use. I would also like to learn more about this
- Yep. It's started to have issues around the volume control. It cuts in and out in one ear.mg33

don't those beats by dre headphones have volume buttons? they have the double male ends.
maybe you can get a replacement for your "beats by dre" headphones
- for clarification: those headphones have detachable cords with two 3.5mm jacksTheMagicSheep
- not sure if they have buttons thoughTheMagicSheep
- The black ones has a button for pausing/skipping, but no volume buttonsdee-dubs
- and the red ones are just a male/male cable

If somebody made those they'd make a killing! All of my snow audio equipment fails very fast, somebody needs to step up and make some bomber sports audio that's military grade. Skullcandy is almost there, but the mute button isn't even waterproof: http://www.backcountry.com/smith…

A sample discussion:
—Gold is not among the best electrical conductors..a expensive waste of time and money, silver is the best natural electrical conductor.
Read it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ele…
—Have you ever used an interconnect or cable made with pure 24k gold, if not then you should keep such comments to yourself. I have and IMHO pure gold sounds better then any of the silver or copper wires I have used, there is a reason why the best wires available such as crystal cable and mundorf have a percentage of gold mixed with their wires and solder.
