Sony MDR-V6 Cord issue

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 

A few weeks ago my headphones started cutting out while using them on the go. When I use them with my phone that's in my pocket the right earphone's audio cuts out when the part of the cord near the jack moves around at all. I don't have issues when I use them with my computer because I'm not moving the cord around much but I'm pretty much unable to use them outside at all. I wanted to know if anyone knew a way to fix this without sending them to Sony and going without headphones for a few weeks.

 

Thanks.

The V6, being headphones designed for professional use, are extremely easy to disassemble. All you need is a screwdriver. WHy don't you disassemble them and see if the cable is visibly damaged anywhere. You can also simply recable them at this point. If you are not comfortable soldering cables together, you could perhaps ask a friend? The V6 are extremely easy to recable.

Mine do the same thing with my iPod touch, and I just assumed it had something to do with the plug shape, because I rarely use them and so they are very unlikely to be damaged or broken.

I seem to be having a similar problem. Purchased mine from Amazon and received them about a week ago. Trying to decide if I should return/exchange them. When the end of the cable or connector is moved or touched, sound distorts, gets fuzzy and goes in and out. I also noticed the heat shrink tub that goes around the cable (and underneath connector) at the end is open, doesn't seem to be put on properly. Does anyone else have this problem?

If they are new. I'd return them.
