Hello. I'm having a lot of trouble with my HD 280 recently. The cable that connects between the two speakers keeps snapping and I have to send it for repair, but that's not even the problem. This time, the wire that comes out of one of the speakers also snapped. The technician swaped the old...

Instead of writing another review, I have prepared something interesting today — an article on how to repair Hidizs AP80 series of DAPs. First of all, my Hidizs AP80 (first revision) is in perfectly working condition and remains such since I have received it 2 years ago. During those years it...

I know this post should be in the DIY thread however I can't seem to post in there yet! Sorry If i'm posting this in the wrong place. I bought a pair of beyerdyamic DT990 Pros second hand from eBay. The guy said nothing was wrong with them but it's partly my fault for being that gulluble he...

Hey everyone! First post here with a question. I'm wondering if anybody would by any chance know the paint code for the lighter grey parts? Or know of any automotive colors that come close to it? I like my gear looking mint, and these scratches have been really irritating me. Other Sennheiser...

(wanted to post in DIY forum but can't because new member) so my cable connection to the driver lead broke and I decided to be louis rossmann for the day and solder it back together I've done it before on DT990 and it worked fine, what I ended up doing is soldering 2 leads and melting the one...

Hi, I want to repair a Sennheiser Momentum which I bought some days ago (in used condition) without realizing at that time that the left ear cup have some problem. As many people may know the ear cups of the Sennheiser Monetum are mounted on guide rails. Here is a picture of the sound right...

I have a Stephan audio art cable that needs repair, they don’t seem to answer their emails. Who does repairs on cables? It’s a Sennheiser HD-650 cable with a top connector disconnected

Hello, a few years ago this forum recommended a pair of AKG Q701 headphones. They have been great, but over those years they have seen a bit of structural damage. The problem is that I don't know much at all about headphones. I don't even know the name of the part that needs to be fixed so I can...

Hello guys, Well I am audio enthusiast in Indonesia. In the last three years opened workshop for headphone repair. but, i think now I would like to share you a tutorial. a simple but efective tutorial to fix your broken cans. Due to many of audio enthusiast in different country dissapointed of...

Hey Head-Fi, Have any of you successfully replaced a laser pickup in a Marantz SA-14? The old laser won't read any discs. I already performed the standard troubleshooting, like cleaning and lubrication. With this being a newer vintage item, many of the old school POT adjustments are replaced...

A week ago I sniped a pair of broken ER4XRs on eBay for 80€. The seller said that one side didn't play and I was hoping that a simple cable swap would fix the issue. Sadly, it wasn't the cable's fault and instead the driver's. With my multimeter I measured 45 ohm for the working driver and 90...

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...

Yesterday was a bad day. The left driver of my beloved k240s (that dad had bought in the early 80s) died. Unfortunately the cable is in good condition and the radiators are still intact. I removed the driver, tested with other cable/source and yup, it is pretty much fried. The right one still...

Hi guys. I need help to repair jack of my TDK BA200. It is 3mm wide flat cable. I have searched through eBay, but could not find anything good to securely hold it on its base, so I will not have to repair it again in a couple of months. Do anybody know where I can buy a good replacement jack...

Greetings everyone. I'm looking to get some consensus here. I recently purchased a set of ZMF Atticus from a fellow Head-Fier. Shortly after receiving them, I found that one of the drivers was putting out some minor distortion. this is not a knock on the seller, as I think they were okay...

Well i just got a severe slap on my face ....not talking about the headphone but the time since i bought em here. Old account name is Rakooon and i just noticed its been 10 years...... Reading my interest back then i can read " Wife & my cat "... Wellll..... Then how come only the cat remain now...

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...

my first question is 1) where can i find 1mm 2 core wire to use in the internal headband of the headphones? I was able to find some on ebay that were meant for beats solo but that runs for $6-$8 for about 2 feet of wire which i think is a bit over priced. So I was hoping to find a cheaper...

I can't use regular stranded wire. The way the wire travels through the headphones and is constructed requires wire that is smaller than 1.5mm outer diameter (26 AWG). The original wire I believe is 30 AWG however i can use 28 AWG since it'd fit. 26 awg is too thick. Its gotta be a single...

The wire is still connected to the inside components of the ear cup so I don't have to take that apart to solder them and the other end of the wire is still in the headband but i was able to get some slack of it. How can I lengthen them? Is there a way to buy copper wire that fits and I can...

I'm after someone who can repair a pair of T-Peos Altone200 Hybrid IEMs. I think it will be the cable either in or outside the housing. They're non-detachable. Thanks

I purchased my trusty iBasso D5 Hj DAC and headphone amp when I lived in Japan a couple of years back. I used it on daily basis with my laptop or PC as a DAC and headphone amp. I had to previously repair the USB at the back, which was simple enough job, but now I think something more complex...

Hi guys, found this forum when looking up on how to change the laser on my cd player. I recently acquired it as it fits well with my other equipment but noticed that it skips quite badly. From sometimes jumping back a second on early tracks to looping 10-15 seconds on later tracks. I've ordered...
