ugh welp i tried to solder together a TRRS cord but it really didn't work out, things aren't really chill enough for me to do small work like that.

@astra I tried to put a new trs plug on a set of headphones some time back and the wires in the cable were so thin that bringing the soldering iron anywhere near them would just melt them out of existence, it was ridiculous

@hexwren @astra I had a nice-ish set of Sennheisers that were like that, the cable itself was about as thick as angel hair pasta (and reviewers rightly complained about this!)
