Re: so has anybody broken down and altered the headphones??

So, here's my little foray into altering the Palm headset.

The first pic on the left is the set up (added the phones just for style). Got my soldering stick, heat gun, solder, heat shrink tube, ect.

The middle pic doesn't really show all the much but the pic on the right shows two different strands of wire coming out of each headphone. I was able to get those connected to the two coming out of the Palm headset (thank God they're the same colors!) and soldered together.

One head phone was working but the other wasn't and I couldn't figure out why. So I cut out the soldered connection on the headphone that wasn't working and tried it again. I tried my best to separate the two strands and to make sure there was good contact when I soldered them. But, the headphone still wouldn't work. Now i had a set of Palm headphones that only had one headphone working...in the trash they went waiting for the Treo Pro to come out. Can't wait for some 3.5mm goodness...
