Chosen Solution

My headset has no sound coming out of either speaker, im going to attempt to change the 3.5mm jack. I have a green wire, red wire, twisted green/red with gold copper and just a golden wire. What do each of these wires do and which wire goes to which part on the new jack?? Any help would be great. Thanks.

Wikipedia suggests you’re likely going to want to reattach it with the tip hooked to the left channel, the first ring hooked to the right channel, the second ring hooked to ground, and the sleeve hooked to the mic channel, as detailed here.

Red and Green twisted is the mic wire. You have to seperate the copper around it first because that is the ground wire for the mic. I have done the same with my XO4 Turtle Beach headset. Red is Right side Green is left twisted Green/Red is mic All copper is ground

Follow these

Here you go! All the wires (there are 5) are lacquer coated and need tinning prior to soldering. The note on the diagram is important. You may think you only have 4 wires once you have stripped the insulation.

Thanks folks trying this tomoz when plug arrives, wish me luck

I have red and blue wrapped in copper and a white wrapped in green. Does this mean copper wrapping is ground, white is mic, red is left and blue is right?

Does anyone know the wiring onto the pcb in the headphone as my wires have been pulled off the board

Don’t have the headphones anymore but still had this

I have a Turtle Beach Recon x50, and some of the instructions above were contradictory, misleading or vague, leading to me having to redo soldering, which wasn’t fun, and is why I’m posting for clarity. Disclaimer: Don’t burn yourself! I cut an existing 3.5mm jack from another headset. Just had to connect wires this way. Preparation: Step 1: Burn the enamel so you expose about 1cm of copper. Sanding the tips can help but it’s delicate. Step 2: Carefully separate the white fluff, and then cut or burn it off. Step 3: Tin the wires. (It’s 1000 times easier to solder if you already have some solder adhered to the wire. Use flux to make the solder flow/wick better onto the wire. ) Wire Pinout: Green Wire: Left channel (Tip) Red Wire: Right channel (2nd ring) Red/green twisted pair: Both tied together to GROUND (3rd ring) White wire: mic channel (4th ring) Tested and it works. Hope this helps!

I just replaced an aux on a Turtle Beach Recon 500 headset 2021 and this thread was helpful, so I’m posting what I discovered to help others. Snipped the wire and saw 2 leads, a white lacquered wire with a copper shield wire twisted around it, and red and green lacquered shield wires wrapped around 2 other wires that were green and blue. So in total 6 different coloured wires. After loads of research and trial and error this was the solution: Unwrap the copper shield wire and the green and red shield wired and twist these 3 together, these are the ground wires. The white lacquered wire is the microphone The green wire was the right headphone The blue wire was the left headphone Extra help, the wires don’t solder well due to the lacquer, you can use a lighter and sandpaper to expose a good contact OR best solution I found was wack your soldering iron up to 400C+, get a drop of liquid solder on the tip of the iron and push your lacquered wire through the droplet on the iron. This just melts the lacquer and once removed the wire will tin as you go, this may take a couple of drops of solder as the lacquer melting turns the solder dirty and weird. Hope this helps!
