I've been having a hard time finding a reasonably sized (the smaller the better) 1/8" (headphone) male to male wire.

Most that they sell in stores today have these huge gold plated connectors and such, I need one that's as small and low-key as possible with a 90 degree head at one end.

basically, this is pretty close:

but preferably with a 90 degree head at one end like this:

This may seem incredibly stupid an picky, but for reasons too boring to get into, I need just this wire for my set-up. So, you know, if you're aware of such a wire please let me know.

Ok, I figured out the pictures. I'm looking for a wire like this:



but with a 90 degree plug at one end like this:



anyway, in the unlikely event that anyone can answer such an obscure request, thanks.

Just get the parts at radio shack and make your own.

I'm not sure how to do all that. What am I, Einstein?

It's only three wires and two connectors...six solder joints in all, covered with some shrink tubing and you're done.

I suppose that doesn't sound too hard.

hey bigpicnic,

radioshack does offer small adapters to give you the 90 degree angles that you desire.
