There is no sound coming out of the left headphone, I think the cord was pulled. Is there any way to fix it myself? Warranty is not an option.
Hey there, just got a soldering iron again after moving house (lost my old one)
Looking to replace the cable on the ATH-EM7's I have, and figured it was better to bump this thread than to make a new one.
Anyway, looking at the headphone itself, I see no real way to open it. It has three screws which don't look standard (Kind of look like a star/allen key to me)Just really looking for a bit of help, and any time you guys could spare would be great, thanks !
Kinda old thread by now, I was trying to gather some info myself and saw the question about what key to use. At least I got that far from asking some Japanese person who completely modified the cabling for this thing. According to them it was a 1.5mm hex/allen key, that didn't do the trick for me as I needed a 1.27mm one, so you may need one of the two to open it. Hope this answers the question asked by everyone else who wondered the same thing who browsed this page. Pretty sure the similar models aka ATH-EM700 and possibly ATH-EW9 all use the same screw. If you got no idea where to start looking for these smaller sizes keys, you can try looking at dealextreme or similar that ship worldwide, they are good enough, just get the sizes right.
I'm also having some problem with the wiring (same as OP, left one stopped working, but messing with the wire sometimes still gives it sound, so it's definitely a wiring problem.) If I had to make a guess, it would be the green wire that's being problematic. I do not have a solder at the moment so I am unable to fix the issue as of now, so the left one is still not fully operational.
As for the guy who changed the cabling, the entry is in Japanese, though: http://yonhongi.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/2009/03/post-03f7.html
