Fix your headphones stretched-out cord.

[jabbo]

I bought Braided Elastic 1/4 inch x 3 yards for about a dollar at Walmart sewing section. Easy, just thread elastic through coiled headphone cable, tie each end to cable top and bottom. I taped the elastic to a piece of wire and pushed it through the coil. Tie one end and determine how much tension you want before cutting elastic. Jabbo

Dahut, I didn't replace the stretched out coiled cord. But added the elastic ribbon, can't see it in the second photo, it runs up inside the coil. Cord doesn't hang anymore.

... But Im still wondering where to get some 3 wire coiled cord. I want to adapt some high quality digiphones I have to a coiled cord arrangment. I could get the audio reproduction of the big buck detecting phones for a fraction of the cost that way.

Dahunt,
How much coiled cord do you need? I have a bunch of used stuff from 30 inches (not stretched out) to shorter lengths.
I've made myself a 1 ear headset so I can hear with whats going on around me in one ear and my GTI in the other.
