I've had a pair of Grado SR125s for quite a few years now, I know it's not the best in the Grado family, but they were mine and I loved em!
Despite my love for these headphones, their cables suck. Over the years I've had to re-solder the connection several times do to accidentally yanking the wire and from the wires twisting inside the can.
I recently discovered the headphone community and their mods, I thought since I've re-soldered the headphones a few times in the past, I might as well give it a shot. So I ordered a couple 3.5" mono mini plugs, phone jacks and got to work.
At some point between de-soldering the cables and wiring the jacks, I screwed up, royally! I must have got the transducers too hot cause now I get no sound out of my headphones at all.
Is this a total write-off or is there any way to bring these things back to life?
