I just got a new pair of Ultrasone HFI-700DVD headphones. They are terminated with a 1/4 inch connector. All of the sources I listen to (mp3 player, computer) have 1/8 inch jacks. This requires me to attach a 1/8 inch adapter with makes the connector about 4 inches long, which as you can imagine is extremely combersome. Is there any way for me to change this jack?
I'm thinking of cutting the connector off and soldering on a mini jack. Will this change the sound of the headphones in any way? What's the easiest way to do this? Is there a better way? Thanks a lot for your help.
