I need to buy a 3.5mm jack that is between 10-15cm in length but it needs to be a very slim profile in order to plug in to my headphones. Hopefully you'll be able to see in the photos that the actual socket is recessed in to the headphones which is why the cable needs to be low profile.

I bought one of these but it's useless because it's too fat to go all the way in (that's what she said!)

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions guys unfortunately the length is deal breaker for me it really needs to be under 20cm. If I cant find anything i'll give the 30cm a go suggested by @drichardb .
 
Have you ever used a cable with it other than the original, I ask as that looks very much like an Optical/3.5mm hybrid port (it can use either) and caught me out before.

Nope, only ever used the original cable. I failed to mention which headphones i'm using in my OP so here's a link to them.

Easy job and a good one to start with if you fancy a try at soldering

I would say anything but, space is tight, and, you ideally need heat wrap internally around lugs to make sure they are well isolated - 3rd hand helps too.
