    Bowers and Wilkins P9 - Replacement Headband Foam

    Hi all, Apologies I know this is probably in the wrong forum, but I can't post anywhere else yet. I've had to do some surgery to my B+W P9's and have taken out the foam layer due to cracked leather and a little bit of mould growth (yah I know, pretty disgusting). Does anyone know where I...

    Can you repair/crack open moondrop aria's?

    I had a 2 pin cable pin break off inside my moondrop aria (og). I then compounded this issue by breaking off a drill bit inside the same hole and damaging the socket. At this point it's pretty clear the sockets gone but is that the end of my aria's? How hard is it to crack open my aria's? Do...

    STAX headphone cable repair, preferably in Toronto, Canada?

    I have a paid of STAX SR-007 (mki), and the cable now has a loose connection at the headphone end. I've fixed a similar problem on some old Grados of mine, but I'm a lot more nervous about opening up a pair of electrostatic headphones, and I'm not even sure how I'd do it. Has anyone had any...

    How to fix IEM Shell

    Hi, I recently bought a used monarch mk2 and it came in with a small crack on the shell. Over time the crack has gotten bigger so I wanted to figure out how to repair it. One way I've heard to fix it is to use Loctite plastic bonding. When googling I also came across sgaudiohive and saw that...

    Ndh20 Left Earcup lose - advice?

    She just popped out and dangles there now. Going through the repair process seems like such a hassle. It looks like a clean separation and I was thinking of just using a metal epoxy and "gluing" it back, but am not that experienced in these matters...

    Replace earbud wire

    Hello! My yuin pk2 stopped working on the right side. I was think if replacing the wire for this one would be possible. If its possible I'd need to get soldering equipment, right? Or its possible (even if its not the ideal) to do this without soldering equipment? I have no experience on that...

    Damaged Pre-Out - Possible to Fix?

    Hi, I purchased an amplifier with a damaged Pre-Out, see pitcures below. To me it looks like only the metal cap is missing. So is it possible to remove a metal cap of another RCA and mount it by pressure to the amplifier? Or do I need a new RCA that must be soldered to the amplifier? Image

    Sony MDR-CD2000 loose headband

    Hi all, I recently came in possession of a pair of MDR-CD2000. It works very well safe for one small problem, the headband which I assume to normally be self-adjusting is no longer doing its job properly. (photo for reference) It's quite easy to remove it from the headphones themselves, there...

    Stax SR-40: Questions about quality, price, repair?

    Hi, I just spotted a pair of Stax SR-40 headphones with SRD-4 adapter used for $100. I really want to buy them for a bunch of reasons, but one speaker plays quite than the other, apparently 15-20% lower. I'm told that can be adjusted for via amplifier balance. - Anyone familiar with these...

    Replacement Lubricant Material for HE1000 V2 Swivel Hinges

    So I figure I've over swiveled my HE1000 V2 from trying to check for channel imbalance problems which evidently turned out to be an ear problem, and the hinges are now creaking. I checked them and there's this grey-white shiny piece of silicone(?) sandwiched in the swivel point. I'm assuming...

    Help with vintage stax maintenance/repair

    I recently received two pairs of vintage STAX, the sr-40s and the lambda pros, and they each came with slight issues that I wish to resolve. The sr-40s seem to have the simpler issue to fix, that being the cables that attach to the ear cups don't have the best connection so while listening it...

    Updated: Headband Repair Help

    I bought used V-Moda Crossfades and the headband is so misshapen that I don’t use them. I thought it was the sound of the phones that I didn’t like until I tried a display model in a store not long ago. It turns out, I enjoy the sound when they fit properly. I should mention that the headband is...

    Could a bad cable cause an altered frequency response?

    Hi all. I've had a pair of AKG K550 headphones for about 5 or so years now, and they recently developed an altered frequency response (dip in treble) in one ear. Could this be due to a faulty cable? Id check, but the cable is not detachable... The source, my ears, and the seal have all been...

    How do I take apart the Tin Audio T2?

    I recently received a Tin Audio T2, only to find that the audio was out of phase. My first guess was that it was a problem with the wires. When I replaced them, the problem persisted. Using my knowledge of soldering, I knew I could fix the problem by taking one of the earpieces apart and...
