Get your controls back on a cable that works
Stuck with a dead cord and no volume or mic? This 3.5 to 2.5 mm replacement brings back the inline remote so you can take calls and skip tracks without digging out your phone.
Volume and mic, right on the cord

Volume and mic on the cord
The volume up and down buttons sit on the inline remote, and the built-in mic picks up your voice for calls. Turn the music up on the train or answer a call without pulling your phone out of your pocket.

Gold-plated contacts
Both plugs carry gold-plated contacts with a blue ring around the metal, so the plug looks like a finished part instead of a bargain cord. Wipe the contacts with a dry cloth if the sound ever turns crackly.

Soft matte jacket
The jacket is a soft-touch matte rubber that stays grippy in the hand, so the cable doesn't slide off your desk or slip through your fingers. The remote is color-matched to the cable in black or bright blue.
Swap the cable in five steps
- 1Check your jack
Confirm your headphones take a 2.5 mm socket and your device takes a 3.5 mm jack before you plug in.
- 2Pick the plug style
Use the straight plug when the port sits flush. Use the right-angle plug when the cable needs to lie flat against your device or a case.
- 3Plug in both ends
Push each plug in straight until it seats. Never force a plug at an angle.
- 4Test the remote
Press volume up and down, then run a quick call with the mic to confirm both work.
- 5Wrap and store
Loop the cable and fasten the hook-and-loop tie so it does not knot in your bag.

Questions and answers
It is listed for the Doctor QC25, QC35, OE2 and LIVE2 headphones. Check that your headphones take a 2.5 mm socket before you order, then plug the 2.5 mm end into the headphones and the 3.5 mm end into your phone, laptop or player.
A straight plug runs in line with the cable. A right-angle plug bends 90 degrees, so it clears a phone case or laptop port that sits close to a wall or table edge. Pick the one that seats without bending the cable sharply.
Yes. The mic sits on the cord next to the remote, so you can speak while the phone stays in your pocket or bag. Call clarity depends on your phone and how noisy the street is, so run a short test call before you rely on it.
Gold-plated contacts are the premium detail on both plugs, and the blue ring around each contact makes the fit easy to spot. The plating is the finish the cable is built around, and it is what sets it apart from a plain cord with bare metal.
For the listed models, yes. It works as a straight swap with the remote and mic on the cord. Keep your old cable until the new one passes a volume and mic test, so you can compare the fit.
If your headphones still sound right, yes. A new headset replaces the whole product, while this cable brings back the volume and mic controls for a fraction of that cost. The set includes straight and right-angle plugs, so one purchase covers two port layouts.
