Welcome to Headphone Heights, the place for all your ear bud discussion

RE: Wirering headphones?

It depends a bit. If your headphone cable splits before going to the ear cups, you sure will be happy that you have 4 wires to use.

If you have a headphone where the wire only enters on one side (one earcup), then you can probably omit one wire.

If you would like to wire for a balanced connection, you will want to use all four of the wires regardless.

I would also connect the shield at the plug end.
