First i’d like to note that there is a mistake in this video. As of right now Magic Lantern audio functions are not working on the T3i. They are working on it, but the t3i and 600d have a different audio chip then the rest of canon’s cameras making it difficult to enable audio functionality.
If you’re handy with a soldering iron and want to save some money Vimeo member Moritz Graeser has this tutorial on building your own Cable out of the cable that is included with your camera. If you still have the cable this method is probably the most cost effective. If you don’t have the cable a replacement AVC-DC400st cable is about $28. As far as I know you can’t use a standard mini USB cable to make this, but if I’m wrong please let me know.
Those are Panasonic RP-HTX7 headphones, they are extremely light, very comfortable for my larger head, and good mid range quality sound. They do a great job of blocking out other sounds without having to crank up the volume. I like green, but you can get them in about any color you like and the price is right at $35. I’ve had this pair for 2 years and haven’t had any problems.
Why not simply use any mini usb to jack 3.5 female adapter, instead of the sescom one? Its like $5 with shipping on ebay or any other place, instead of freaking $45.
The usb cable that comes with the Camera can be used if you want to do some soldering, but it has a special pin layout. Those you see on ebay, don’t have the extra pins needed to support audio on a Canon DSLR.
Why destroy the original Canon original USB/AV cable when you can use an adapter cable :

I just use a 3.5mm to female RCA audio cable to mate to the Canon cable. No fuss, no muss.
