how is it too big? all you have to do is TOUCH THE TIP to the soder and it turns to liquid.






also Im buying a bunch of iphone headphones and skull candy ones cause I have a number of friends that want this done, if anyone is scared of doing this you can pm me and ill make you a set.

Do most people find it an easy mod? I'm a po' boy, so I can't afford to buy new Marshmallows, but I really want to do it...

Recommend it for me: Yes/no?

Just did this using the upgraded $40 apple headphones and the iphone wires+mic. Really easy to do, straight forward, I used all apple parts and it looks exactly as they did before, only with a microphone! Couldnt be happier how this turned out, thanks for the tutorial!!!

I can't for the life of me get the black backs off the JVC Marshmallows

[mrsidewayzz]

lol u need to use a razor or something to get the backs loose. i kinda messed my backs up by being impatient and using a damn wrench. lmao. just be patient. i did mess mine up but im still tryna complete it.

[MaxRabbit]

Hmm, I tried an exacto knife and it didn't work; any suggestions?

[mrsidewayzz]

use a wrench like i did lol. itll mess up the back but it came off. maybe if you pul and twist in a wiggling motion, itll come out easy. dont use a gripping pliers. def would break the back.

I have a bunch of different headphone sets laying around and I am going to try this. What better reason do I need to visit the hardware store for a soldering iron?

Too bad the Apple headphone wires don't come in black. I might have to try replacing the rubber sleeves too.

I did it, I did it!

[jerichox]

I bought the 8 dollar ones from the modmyi store LOL

Yer nice find bud

[CMPLX]

thanks for that

[DanyKitten]

i'm so thankul i found this before i shelled out for the skullcandy fmj's with the mic. it was way easy to do after heating the ear buds up to get them apart. my only problem was i stole my husbands headphones and he didn't tell me he had washed them so the mic doesn't work...so now i have to take them apart but its my fault i didn't check.lol

[zaydaboss]

Would anyone be willing to do this for a fee, I suck at soldering.

This is a very good thread. I mod my iphone earbuds regularly. This keeps my ear buds noise free and works really good. This is a tricky tips to take care of buds.
