than you need some heat shrinks and some soldering tools.

  1. Shorten/cut original headphone cable to length you like (my is 190mm) from headphone side and leave around 10mm on jack side

2. remove insulation form cables and put a solder on naked wires, than put sleeve, 2 wider and one small heat shrinks on cable. Length of the sleeve should be same as length of the cable (don’t forgot to remove inner twine like here)

3. Solder cable wires back together with insulation tape on them, put a small heat shrink on that and shrink it with heater.

4. Extend the sleeve from end to end with shrinks covers ends, heat the shrinks and you ready to go

5. Go out and fly and hear your drone 🙂
