    Hi
    I have a problem with replacing the 3.5mm jack on my headphones (HyperX Cloud 2).
    These are headphones for a 4-pole jack (with a microphone). The old one broke and unfortunately I did not note how the colors of the wires are attached to it.

    It looks like this:
    Headphones with microphone - replacement of the 3.5mm jack (5 wires)

    Five cables (what I deduce in parentheses)
    green (right earpiece)
    blue (left earphone)
    green-red (weight from the headphones)
    copper (microphone?)
    red (mass from the microphone?)

    I tried to solder it according to this scheme:
    Headphones with microphone - replacement of the 3.5mm jack (5 wires)

    As grounding, selecting the variant from this diagram:

    While the sound in the headphones itself worked worse with the microphone - there is noise and it is enough to touch the headband, there are immediately some strange feedback. I wrote to the manufacturer but their support does not want to help by covering the warranty terms.
    Not to mention that soldering such tiny wires is a huge pain in the ass :P I have already burned 2 plugs with a soldering iron (plastic has fused between the joints).

    I am asking for advice on the correct connection and soldering.

    Blue - left earphone
    Red - right earphone
    Copper - the weight of the headphones
    Green - microphone
    Green - red - ground of the microphone

    I guess that's how it should be

    The microphone should be detachable, so it should be possible to measure what belongs to the microphone on the jack.

    red and copper are together in one shirt
    blue, green, and red-green in the other

    I checked blue and green and they are from the headphones, and the two-color one is from the ground (when I connected, the sound worked well).
    The strange colors of the manufacturer.

    That's right, it is plugged into one of the headphones.

    The weight of the microphone is on the copper, together with the weight of the headphones, we put it on the housing 4. As for soldering, whiten / solder the ends of the wires and plugs, then solder gently.

    This could explain these surges, but when I tried in the reverse order (i.e. copper + red-green to ground instead of red + red-green), the microphone did not work at all.

    Meter and measure the resistance. Three are headphones for sure.

    What values should I expect on the cables?
    If I hook the microphone, will the resistance increase on the mass from the microphone?

    The ones I had were from 25? to 65?, as for the microphone, it had nothing.

    Hello, I have the same problem, I took them to some GSM service. I The sounds work, everything and the microphone, what should I do? Because I looked through the topic but did not deduce anything from it :( Please help

    What is the resistance of the microphone? Measure on the plug. Electrets with an amplifier (very widespread) have a couple of kilohms (I checked some meter set to 20k, correct side 1k75, reverse 1k33; for 2k out of range correct, reverse 1k30; another copy for 20k 1k45 and 1k15, 2k out of range range and 1k1); dynamic (a small chance for it to be like that) a few hundred discussions, the same in both directions. If they are not connected, the resistance on the plug will be "infinite", if they shorted it, the resistance will be "zero".

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the replacement of a broken 3.5mm jack on HyperX Cloud 2 headphones, which feature a 4-pole configuration for audio and microphone functionality. The user is uncertain about the wiring colors after disassembly, identifying five wires: green (right earpiece), blue (left earpiece), green-red (weight from headphones), copper (microphone), and red (mass from microphone). Various responses suggest potential wiring configurations and emphasize the importance of measuring resistance to diagnose issues. Users recommend soldering techniques and checking the microphone's resistance, which should typically range from a few hundred ohms to a couple of kilohms for electret microphones. The conversation highlights troubleshooting steps and the challenges faced when dealing with non-standard wiring colors from the manufacturer.
