Headphone cables can sometimes be far too long and get tangled or in the way. To avoid this inconvenience it’s best to shorten your headphone cable to a length that suits. Headphones cables connect to your audio device using stereo phone jacks. There are two main phone jacks: the 1/8 inch (2.5mm) phone jack mainly for use with cell phones and the slightly larger 3/32 inch (3.5mm) phone jack used to connect headsets to iPods and MP3 players. If you want to shorten your headphone cable you will need to rewire your headphone jack. The task is fairly straightforward. Writer Bio
