Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns ๐โ๏ธ
-
๐ Is gold better than nickel?
-
While both conduct electricity well, gold's primary advantage is that it does not oxidize. A nickel plug will eventually develop a dull coating that can degrade sound; a gold plug stays clean and conductive.
-
-
๐ Will this work with a microphone (4-pole)?
-
No. This is a 3-pole (TRS) stereo plug. For headsets that include a built-in microphone and require 4 poles, you will need a TRRS connector.
-
-
๐ง Is it hard to solder?
-
Because 3.5mm plugs are small, they require a fine-tip soldering iron and a steady hand. It is a great project for those with intermediate soldering skills.
