A recently acquired a set of Grado SR-60i headphones from a friend. He said that his son jerked the cord one one side one day and after that it progressively started fading over the course of a week. He said as this progressed it also developed a crackle. The other channel still works just fine.
I have opened them up by following the headwize guide. Once inside, I was really, really hoping for something simple like a broken solder joint but no such luck.
I'm not having any luck getting the transducer out as the headwize guide describes. I was wondering if any of you have suggestions for me? Should I maybe just go ahead and desolder the cable and try a new one? Send them back to Grado? Give up and let a great pair of headphones just go to the landfill?
