DIY wiring Beats by dre studio V2 demo version

[xGUSO]

as most of us know that beats studios require batteries to properly work. i got my hand on a pair of demo/Retail version of beats studios. these headphones arent wired to have batteries placed in them and the  audio input ccable is hard wired to avoid theft. i got a good deal on these, with a spliced cable, what im trying to do here is wire them up so i can use them. 

This picture shows what the wires look like once stripped of the insulation. two wires one copper and one copper braided with a blue wire.

inside the copper braided wire are two wires, one black and one blie, my guess is that these are for the external power source

the green and red wires were wrapped in the b;ue and copper wire, i had to sand teh wires so that the copper would show and would have some conductivity.

here is what im using to wire the audio input., seems like any way i try to wire them i cannot get them to work properly.  my ultimate goal is to wire them up to have a battery and a bluetooth receiver, but for now i just want to wire them correctly to work. even if that means using a AC to DC power source. any suggestions on how to wire these things to make them work would be much appreciated! thanks guys.

And just like that, not a single fuck was given.

[Mister X]

For fuck's sake....

How much effort would it require to take the cups apart and figure out what those wires go to?

[guzziguy]

What do you know about wires and electronics, anyway?

[RudeWolf]

Not even balanced.

[grawk]

Kim pretty sure they require more than batteries to properly work. they require a blendtec blender too.

[Torpedo]

they require this plug, instead of the mini TRS

 

[CarlSeibert]

We're not balanced either.

This thread is proof that it is fucking fun.  At least the thread starter has not come back for more punishment. Yet.

What?  No, we're trying to warn people off.  I mean, these are fucking BEATS for pete's sake.  People should know by now they're crap, but there's always someone new or they just haven't figured out how to lmgtfy for themselves.  So it bears repeating.

 

Beats?  Bad.  Monster?  Boycott.  Bose?  Overpriced.

 

We spend most of our time listening to the sweet beautiful music.

Well, yeah, there's that, too

One person's warning is another person's buzzkill.  You see, the other site is like Portobello Road from Bedknobs and Broomsticks:

Why u fuq wit dat?

I gotta ask

What is up with this word order I have very frequently* seen over the past few months? 

 

"properly work" WHAT THE FUCK! 

 

Its EVERYWHERE. So annoying I find it. A bunch of Yodas we will all soon sound like. 

 

*Because fuck you.

[Dusty Chalk]

Maybe because it's the same person?

[eggil]

go buy yourself a pair of Bose and everything will be OK

[nikongod]

Maybe because it's the same person?

 

No, It is pretty much everywhere. Radio interviews, news sites, blogs, facespace, etc. 

 

I wonder what the cause is, and what can be done to stop it.

It's also hard to be negative about anything if you lack the basic brain activity to understand any of this.

I think it is the true mark of stupidity.  It doesn't even work in Icelandic where word order is pretty much free.

I got some of these new for dirt cheap.. Beats are NOT worth the money at all. Anyway, I simply cut the 6v adaptor wires on the wall plug side and attached a 9v battery connector. Works like a charm.
