2Pcs Gold 4 Pole 3.5mm Male Repair headphone Jack Plug Metal Audio Soldering headset connector Black

Great replacement plug.

These can be a challenge to solder and a potential shorting concern if your exposed wire is too long. Once soldered they work well for my application.

These are nice and solid and have an excellent connection. However be prepared the contact surfaces to solder the wires to are very small and there's not much room for error. You will need to be precise and I would suggest using hot glue to cover everything before you screw the cap on. It's a very tight space

These jacks are pretty high quality (gold plated, rings are consistent widths, plastics are solid, etc.). However, the design of the jack makes it fairly difficult to install these correctly, and proper care must be taken.Instead of solder lugs with small holes extending from each ring, the lugs on these jacks are stacked in a concentric pattern with small bits of plastic separating each one. While this makes the install tidy, it also requires very precise soldering. Anything more than a quick touch with a generous amount of flux applied will result in the separating plastic beginning to melt. When it melts enough, it will start to spread onto the lugs themselves, making it harder to solder to them, and in the worst case (I found this out by experimenting with one), the plastic melts enough to where the lugs are shorted, rendering the jack useless. Also, it is very easy to remove one of the wires you previously soldered accidentally because of how close the lugs are.Again, a quick touch of the iron, generous amounts of flux, and a subsequent cleaning with alcohol will do the job. Another thing to note is that you must remove a SMALL amount of insulation from the headphone wires for these jacks to work - another flaw of the concentric lug design. If you remove too much insulation, you run the risk of the wires shorting on each other because the lugs are so close together. It is difficult to remove such a precise amount of insulation from headphone wires, so this step also requires quite a bit of care and patience. One more issue I had was that the hole in the sleeve for the mic wire is a bit too low to secure the insulating boot in the clamp without putting stress on the wires. The only workaround for this is to solder the mic wire further up the sleeve, but the point where you need to do this to get the boot to fit is under the concentric lugs and very difficult to get to. If you try to solder the mic wire to the outside of the sleeve, not only will the boot not fit properly, but the plastic enclosure is too tight to slide up the sleeve at that point, so you can’t even thread it on the jack – no good solution for this no matter how you go about it.Overall, these are good quality jacks, but the headache of the install won't be worth it for those who aren't decent at soldering, and it’s still tedious to hand solder even for a seasoned pro. It's a shame that they're so difficult to work with because these are the only jacks I've found so far that have consistent ring widths on the connector; many cheaper jacks aren't consistent in this regard and will cause connectivity issues. These are also fairly pricey, so my recommendation until I find a cheap, decent quality replacement is to just buy a new 3.5 mm TRRS cable, cut the ends off, and splice/heat shrink the leads on a cable that needs to be repaired (assuming the replacement cable itself won't do the job). If you’re willing to go through the process of working with these jacks and are confident that you can install them correctly, they will definitely serve as a suitable jack replacement.

What a horrible design. Being that the places you have to solder are tiny AND round and separated by small pieces of plastic...the solder slips off, it's really difficult for someone to solder it properly with a good connection and not melting the separating plastic which would lead to shorts. Also with zero instructions other than some bad photos. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone that's not a professional.

They worked perfect for my application (Repairing my son’s gaming headset.)Most of these low star reviews are from people who have low or no experience soldering. If you know what you are doing these are perfect. I have purchased multiple variations of 3.5mm repair plugs and this is by far the best I have purchased. Excellent quality product.

Too small too tight

Great to work with
