Step 2Solder everything together

NOTE:
Some commenters have noted that it could be dangerous to your audio player to follow this instructable's instructions, mostly if you try to do it with a mono vs. stero jack.
I did this with a stereo jack and an ipod, and it worked fine, I've been using it for a long time, full volume, etc, no problems. So if you have an ipod and use a stereo jack it should be safe to follow this instructable. With other audio players it might work ok too, but who knows.

using a multimeter figure out which wires of the headphone jack connect to the two segments closest to the tip (or the single segment at the tip if it's a mono jack instead of a stereo jack).
solder both (or a single wire if it's a mono jack) of these wires to a single wire of the phone cord.
Solder this same phone cord wire, at the other end of the phone cord, to the wires (or wire if mono) on the earbud side which are the same color as the jack side.
solder the ground wires of the jack side to a single wire of the phone cord.
Solder this same phone cord wire to the ground wires of the earbud.
