Hi guys, first post here.
[size=small]I recently purchased a pair of Aiaiai Tracks, which I consider, somewhat expensive headphones. Then, I broke them. The cord snagged on my knee and pulled right out of the middle Y-connector. I always sort of felt that the track's cable was awkwardly designed and way too long, so[/size] [size=small]I am currently pursuing a way to repair them that would also improve where I felt the original design lacked.[/size]

My current dilemma is figuring out how to disassemble each ear cup without forcing it (there doesn't seem to be any screws), and I was hoping someone had already tried it and had instructions. Other than that, I want to try to solder either 3.5 or 2.5mm jacks into the ear cups, like the Grado mod but I'm not sure if I have enough space. Since I consider this forum probably the best place to get advice on modding headphones, any pointers or alternatives would be greatly appreciated!
