Fancasee 4 Pack 3.5mm Replacement Repair Plug Jack TRRS 4 Pole Stereo Male Plug 1/8" 3.5mm Solder Type DIY Audio Cable Connector for Headphone Headset Earphone Microphone Cable Repair

Just like I used to get at Radio Shack, meaning good quality for a decent price and fast delivery.

Used one of these to repair a new set of headphones.

I bought these to repair the cord on some headphones of my daughter...but the cord had those hair-like intertwined braided "wires" that are impossible to separate and work with, so it didn't turn out like I had wanted. However, I am sure to use these in future work and they look good and sturdy and easy to solder. I will update later!

Just replaced this jack on my old Bose SoundSport headphones. Only after getting everything soldered and assembled did I find out that it didn't fit all the way in my cell phone. (Wish I had had the foresight to check before randomly choosing one of the four.) I could get it most of the way into my laptop such that I did get sound out of them. But I then inspected the jack itself and sure enough, the tip is slightly longer than the original Bose jack. Checked all four, and only two fit my cell phone. You get what you pay for.

Especially good for those who like me prefer plugs that their inner poles (to which wires are soldered) are physically separated from one another, rather than all on a single piece of metal. Perfect for laptops. Not good with cell phones that have a case on them (practically all cell phones), because the case prevents the plug to go all the way into the socket as it must do to work properly. See for example the plug in the attached image. That one IS designed with the cell phone case in mind, meaning between the four poles that carry the signals and the case of the plug there is a narrower neck that will go through the case hole.

Great items, much easier to work with that those jacks without the solder lugs. A word of CAUTION though. If you are not experienced with a soldering iron this is not the item, you want. Solder lugs are extremely close together, if they are bent, they will break and too much heat will melt the insulators. That said, these are well built plugs but so was the Titanic.

Not as easy to soder as I thought because you have to soder each wire and they almost touch because they are so close.

Returned it because it was not the size I wanted
