I have a handfull of headphones that need to have new plugs soldered on.
Can anyone recommend a good model of 1/8" plug that is threaded for the screw on 1/4" adaptors?
Thanks!

I've tried looking for those Sony style 1/8" with the threaded 1/4" adaptors, but came up empty handed.
I decided to swap to a hard-wired 1/4" TRS plugs on the headphones (Neutrik "slim series") and forego the need for 1/4" adaptors. Of the multiple sets of cans you need to repair, how many will actually EVER need to plug into an 1/8" socket?

| Shure makes that same adapter for their own headphones, and it'll fit Sony headphones just fine. Contact your Shure dealer! |

Seems like it shouldn't be that hard to find, but indeed it is! 
Only thing I could find is Qables.com somewhere in the EU.

Thanks everyone!
I ended up just going with randyman and using 1/4" connectors.
In reality the odds of me plugging any of these particular headphones into a mini jack is extremely unlikely. |

Plus, Radio Shack always has some 1/4" female-to-1/8" male stereo adaptors somewhere in the store .
