I'm not sure I'm reading it right, but it doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with the wiring. Got a picture?
After further evaluation, the right channel is getting a signal, but there is no differentiation between Left and Right. For example, when I play a sound testing the sound card in windows, there is a jingle in the left ear, then the right ear. Using my ATH-M50's the sounds play on both ears simultaneously. It's really sad, because I feel like I've ruined my headphones, but given a free afternoon I'm sure I can iron out the kinks.
hey! awesome thread guys.
helps me building confidence toward doing this exact mod to get rid of the oh so annoyingly heavy and prone to tangle coil cord.
before I begin tho, I'd like to confirm some steps of the process.
First the only cutting involved is inside the left cup, on the main cord going out the headphone?
Second, the only soldering is on the 3 exposed wires (ground red green) to connect them to the new female 3.5 chassis?
This means no desoldering on the drive board and no touching the wires reaching for the right cup.
Is there any enamel coating on the wires or are they simple twisted copper threads.
and last but not least, did any of you guys experienced a reduction in audio quality after doing this mod?
I guess thats it question-wise... until I start modding and have a ton more for you hehehe

Yes to the first two questions. There is an enamel coating, but it should burn off when you tin the wires. I didn't hear a reduction in audio quality. You sound like you know what to do. Good luck with your mod!
Cool mod. I really want to attempt, but kinds hesitant. I think I can follow along on how to put the female socket and everything, but where I'm stuck on is how to even open the headphones. I don't see any screws that will open them up. I've searched for a while but I came up with nothing. Can someone point me in the right direction.
