Cable upgrade for B&W P5s headphones?
Wed, Sep 1 2010, 2:36PM
I'm getting fed up with hearing interference from fellow commuters' mobile phone signals/blackberries...etc on my B&W P5s! Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I could buy a better shielded, high quality replacement cable? I don't use the remote control/microphone so a cable without this feature is fine.
I've done a quick search online but can't find anywhere in the UK that sells a 3.5mm plug to 2.5mm plug cable (the 2.5mm end goes into the headphones so there is no room for a 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter).
I'm keen to avoid having to get my soldering iron out if possible!
I would contact B&W to report the problem first before you try anything else. What you describe should not be happening.
Internet - laptop - DAC - amp - lots of headphones.
