TRRS cable or plug/jack

[nakatago]

I got a pair of earphones with a mic which I replaced the earphones drivers with something I like. Sounds great and I use them while working out or just generally going around. The problem is it's a tad bit short (or I'm too tall).

I want to get an extension cable for it but all I found are TRS (3-pin) cables. I want the mic working so I need an extra pin, hence TRRS.

Exhibit A. Difference between TRS (normal) and TRRS (4pin y'all).



Exhibit B. The kind of cable I need. Slightly longer, of course but a short one will do actually.



Do you know where I can such a cable? Or at least components so I can make my own?

I found a cable on the internet but it's 4x more expensive, it will ship from the US/Europe and shipping alone will cost more than the actual earphones, factoring in the labor I put in to replace the drivers.

Will Sim Lim tower do? Adelphi?

TIA.

I'd probably say Adelphi will be the best bet mate, but that's a guess, I've never needed one, have you tried ebay?

Yup--that's where I got the ridiculously priced and sourced cables.

I don't need a high-end cable; just a cable. I'll make one myself if I can find the components. I read somewhere Sim Lim Tower's the place to be for electrical components but I don't know where exactly.

If it's worth the trip, I may drop there before heading to Pad Thai tonight.

SLT, near to the main entrance, right hand side, but I don't remember if it was B1 or 0 or 1st floor, there was a shop with impressive choice of various adapters and plugs. Generally SLT has a good number of such places. If not, ebay should not disappoint you Adelphi, I don't know, always looked to me like more end user oriented.

Did you find a place to get one? I'm looking for the same thing but couldn't find one at funan digitalife mall and are on a tight budget. There must be somewhere local to get them cheap...

If you can't find what you want and can't order from Amazon, I'll order one and ship it to you... you could put some coins in my Paypal account.

Cheers.

Slt.. and don't compare Adelphi with SLT
