DIY: Shure Sound Isolating Earphone + iPhone 4 Earphone
Image by Yutaka Tsutano
The earphones included with iPhone 4 is nice because of its microphone and controller. However, the sound quality is poor. It’s just not good enough for listening music.
I happend have Shure Sound Isolating Earphone with bad wires. So I decided to put them together.
Notice that the cable length is extended unlike other modifications that just swap the units. This is because the proper way for wearing the Shure earphones is to wrap the earphone cord over the top and down the back of the ear.
With this DIY, I just saved hundreds of dollars 🙂

日本版のLifehackerでも紹介されてみたいなので、一応警告しておきます。
この改造は記事で書かれているほど簡単ではありません。記事上の手順も記者が想像で書いた物で、間違っています。
ケーブル同士の接続には、少なくともハンダ付けをして、エレクトリックテープではなく熱収縮チューブを使うべきです。さらに強度を補強するために、Zip Tieなどで力が接点に直接かからないようにする必要があります。
Shure側のケーブルは簡単に加工できますが、iPhone側のケーブルは細くてエナメルコーティングがされているので扱うのが非常に難しいです。
あと、名前、タツノユタカじゃないよ :-p
coool : )
Stairway to Heaven, nice.
You know there are adapters for that. From Griffin :))
Hi, I’m an admin for a group called Images that represent music and sound, and we’d love to have this added to the group!
To battle the lame Shure cables right around the ear, I bought a pair of
Silicone Ear Guides from
store.audeoworld.com/
Hopefully this $10 purchase will protect me from having to do a $175 repair on my SE530s which are starting to split at the ear but are out of warranty.
How Much is it?
