That’s exactly what I want.

The soldiering isn’t too much of an issue, my main problem is figuring out all the wiring.

I don’t know how many cooper wires I need in the cord and where.

I don’t know how to attach a new 3.5 mm jack to my new cord, or if I should just buy a premade cord with a 3.5 mm jack already attached. And if I do buy one, how do I know it’ll have enough cooper wires for what I need

I don’t know to get braided cable for the exterior

I don’t really know what I’m doing, but I really want to learn how to do it

Im ok with that

Not really looking for increased audio quality, just durability

Alright, I’ll keep that in mind
