After a whole 2 months since I bought them brand new, my Beyerdynamic T5p is having problems with the left channel.
I've tested with multiple sources and with different headphones. Both tests lead me to believe that it's a problem with the T5p themselves.
The problem is the left channel will completely cut out or have a lot of static which is probably due to a connection problem. I tried fiddling around with the jack while it was plugged in but this had no effect. Then I tried moving the cable connecting to the cup/driver around and it would cut out depending on the angle it was at.
After thinking about how this would have happened as I take very good care of my headphones, I realize that the design of the carrying case crushes the portions of cable connecting into the cups which seems like a huge design flaw to me.
Anyway, I have no experience at all with opening headphones or soldering so I'm wondering what I should do?
The problem seems to be getting worse and it's very noticeable now.
I'm not totally deficient with using tools and can learn very quickly. Should I do it myself or sed them in as a defective pair? I currently don't have a secondary pair of headphones to use for the time being and I'm going on a trip this weekend.
So basically is it difficult to fix? If not, how would I go about doing this?
