Reddit reviews C2G 13787 3.5mm M/F Shielded Stereo Audio Extension Cable, Black (6 Feet, 1.82 Meters)

Items used:

Battery SAE Connector $6
SEA connection that has 4 plugs. If I need to hook up a battery charger or air compressor it's nice.

USB Power $10 I used one for the phone itself and one for the hub, however you only need one. I just didnt not want the amplifier taking power away from charging the phone. Redundancy is nice too. Extra USB ports for whatever.

USB Hub $7 For all the gadgets.

USB Phone Power Cable $5 This is the real weak point in the setup. I've gone through a lot of these. monoprice.com is good for really cheap cords.

[Phone Audio output(between phone and amplifier)] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F9KUF7O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
$7 Quality cord here. Purchased for the right angle plug.

[Amplifier]( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005HJWWW8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 $28
Amplifier output connection: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00007FGU7/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) $30 After not being able to hear very well with no amplifier, this greatly improved the experience.

Helmet coil cord $5 With this cord you never know the cord is there until you get off the bike and it will break away.

Helmet speakers: $10 I found a great deal on ebay for some "hoodie" speakers and I epoxied them in the helmet. You could always use this setup with earbuds too, but I was never fond of getting them pulled out while riding.

Phone mount $35 I would trust it will an $800 phone.

Total Cost w/ Phone Mount: $ 115

Just be sure it says "shielded" in the description. Like this one.

A shielded cable has a foil or copper braid surrounding the two inner conductors, usually red and black. A non-shielded cable (ok to use for headphones) just has three wires, often red, green, black.

Use this to split the boompro's audio and mic connectors https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PYZ2BT4/

and then if it doesn't reach, use any 3.5mm extension to connect the mic to your PC/soundcard/whatever https://www.amazon.com/C2G-Cables-13787-shielded-Extension/dp/B00007FGU7

It's shot. Get a new one.

That's odd. I could've sworn Realtek was one of the ones who actually included this option. Go through everything again just to be sure. If you can't find it try googling your sound card model along with "swap left right" or "reverse stereo" or something like that.

If all else fails, it isn't expensive or difficult to extend the speaker cable. Just get one of these

You could always try buying a 2 male 1 female audio splitter. To make the cords that go into your computers longer you can buy female to male audio extenders for each side.

Not sure how the sound quality will be but I would imagine this should work.

I'd reeeeaaaalllyyy like this male to female cord connections because my current one broke, and since I need one for my good headphones I'm stuck listening in my uncomfortable pair.

In theory this cable should work.

Well... Why not just use some audio cables?

So, plug the microphone into PC #2, since that needs to have your microphone.

Plug in the outputs of PC 1 and PC 2 together using something like this plus this. Maybe this one would do it all in one go?

If you need longer cables, get an extension

Am I crazy? This'd work, right? As far as I know, audio cables don't have any directionality.

If your cable to your headphones isnt long enough, there are audio cable extenders you can purchase for a few bucks.

First result for audio cable extension on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/C2G-Cables-13787-Female-Extension/dp/B00007FGU7/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1415412878&sr=8-1&keywords=audio+cable+extender


So yeah, it even lets you buy longer cables as well for what appears to be a few cents more!


PS - This is assuming you are using a 3.5mm audio headset/headphones.

Edit: I see someone else already beat me to posting a link to a similar cable, oh well.

I really like it, the desk especially just need to tidy up those cables. Maybe buy some nice headphones like the ATH-M50x or HD598se? Or just one of these aux cable extensions (3.5 mm M/F extension cable) so you can tuck your earphones behind the desk

If you could accept a $4.20 hardware solution, get this and this, and connect Red=>White and White=>Red. No soldering necessary.

If you have a cable length problem, 3.5mm audio extension cables are also quite cheap.

Are they 3.5mm jack or USB + 3.5mm jack? If they only need 3.5mm then you can do something simple like this.

I think this may be your cheapest option

Been looking into the same stuff since mine isn't as clear when using USB. Anyways, you can get a splitter cable and an extension cable. From what I read, you'll need 2 extensions, 1 for mic and 1 for headphones. I got one that came with my old Steelseries headset, but I couldn't find any similar ones.

Good luck, let me know how it went!

Here you go

Just you your PC/laptop connector? If your PC is in a hard to reach place, you can get an extender cable like this and route the connector to some other easy to access place when you can plug in/out the headphones from.

The 598s don't really need an amp if you have a PC with decent onboard audio stuff. You can still benefit from a lower cost DAC/DAC+AMP setup.
