V2 version, now with chamfered screw holes and redesigned cylinder for tapping without breaking.
This part was designed for the AKG k271 Studio headphones, not the MkII. If it does fit, please let me know and I'll update this here for everybody else.
I wanted to upgrade my headphones from an unbalanced to balanced connectors to go with my new headphone amp. The 3-pin connector was glued in, so I made a replacement. You can replace the connector on the stock cable with a 4-pin and just make sure that the common conductor is split between the two common pins.
Along with this print, I used:
Switchcraft TA4FBX Mini 4-pin XLR (cable end) -https://www.markertek.com/product/ta4fbx/
Switchcraft TB4MB Mini 4-pin XLR (jack) - https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Switchcraft/TB4MB?qs=yPI4UV3pIw3S2fO5stDFhA%3D%3D
7/16-32 tap for the TB4MB connectors - https://www.amazon.com/16-32-Flutes-Right-Thread-Round/dp/B071X62NYM
2.5 mm TRRS balanced headphone connector. Supposedly this is a better quality plug (yes, possible snake oil), but cheaper ones can be found on Amazon. This one was easier to solder onto. - https://doublehelixcables.com/product/eidolic-compact-2-5mm-4-pole-trrs-plug/
