I have a pair hyperx clouds but I dont have the mic. However, i do have the mic from a pair of astro a40s. The mic connector in the left earcup is too deep to connect the two. Is there a way that I can extend the mic connector or remove the metal ring around the jack itself on the mic so I dont have to go buy a modmic or similar product?
 
There are plenty of 2.5mm to 2.5mm extension cables, but then you run the issue of trying to get it to stick on the side. Modding the mic connector might be the best option, even if it's not the easiest
