Replacement headphone cable with gold-plated ladder plug, built for Sony WH-H900N / 1000XM3 / MDR-1A / M2 / 1R headphones

Get your Sony sound back without the dropouts
Your headphones shouldn't go silent because a cable frayed. This gold-plated replacement brings them back, with inline volume and call control.
A plug that holds its connection

Gold-plated ladder plug
The contacts are gold-plated and the shell is aluminum alloy, so the plug feels solid and the connection stays clean over time. Pull on the wire and the plug holds in the jack instead of working loose.
Inline volume and call control
The inline module has volume +/- buttons and a mic. Adjust sound, skip the track or take a call without pulling out your phone. Pick a with-microphone colorway if you make calls on the commute.

Flat striped sheath
The flat TPE sheath lies flat in a pocket and does not spring back into knots. It resists winding and is hard to tangle, so the cable comes out of the bag in the shape you left it.

The cable is the only thing holding them back
When the sound drops out
A frayed cable cuts the audio mid-commute, usually right when the train goes into a tunnel. The spare in your bag is tangled, and the plug wobbles every time you turn your head. Headphones that should be your quiet corner of the day end up sitting on the desk.
A plug built to hold
The plug has an aluminum alloy shell and gold-plated contacts. Metal shells hold their shape better than thin plastic, and gold resists the oxidation that makes a connection crackle. The ladder plug seats firmly in the jack, so the sound stays put when you walk, stand or shift in your seat.
Back to your routine
Your headphones work again on the train, on the flight and at the desk. The inline remote gives you volume and mic control without reaching for your phone. The flat striped sheath lies loose in a bag instead of knotting around everything else in it.

Questions and answers
The cable is built for these five Sony over-ear models. Check the jack on your headphones against the plug measurements in the specs table before you order. If your original cable has a 4mm step and a 5.2mm thick plug, the ladder plug will seat the same way.
Measure the step on your original cable or compare it with the spec sheet. The plug is 4mm step depth and 5.2mm thick, with a 3.5mm wire. Match those numbers and the plug seats in the jack the way the factory cable did.
Yes, the inline module has volume +/- buttons and a mic. If you only need volume, a without-microphone colorway costs the same and works the same way for playback. For calls on the commute, pick a with-microphone option.
The sheath is flat TPE with stripes, and it is anti-winding and not easy to knot. It will still tangle if you stuff it loose in a pocket with keys, so coil it in wide loops and it stays clean for longer.
Generic 3.5mm cables use thinner plug shells and plain contacts, and they are often sold without any fit information for Sony models. This cable has an aluminum alloy shell and gold-plated contacts. A cheap cable that fails twice a year costs more over time than one plug built to last.
