Hey there, thank you so much for your message! I really appreciate that, it's tremendously rewarding to hear that this post is helpful and/or interesting to people! It's been so much fun to do.Hey, how are you man? I hope you are doing great...
first of all, I would like to thank you for providing this detailed fix for the focal Elex, it's a lifesaver for almost everyone with broken headphones!!
unfortunately, I'm not that good with soldering, And I have one with the left side not working at all, I would really appreciate it if I can send you my headphone to fix it!!
I didn't know if it's better to ask you here or send you a dm, just let me know, please!!
have a nice day
I would be very happy to help fix your headphones. I guess send me a dm so we can talk shipping and whatnot, but here I'll mention my approach in case anyone else is interested in the same thing. Basically, I'm figuring if someone wants to send me their Elex, I would charge $25 per terminal repair plus shipping and any PayPal fees. Sometimes if it's just one broken terminal on one side, it could be a cheap fix! But, since there are two voice coil terminals per side (4 in total), the most it would conceivably be is $100 plus shipping/fees. I've seen some where just one terminal's broken, but sometimes both on a driver go and both have to be replaced. So yeah, send me a message and I'd be happy to help out! I hope you have a great day, too!
Oh, also! Your screen name is fantastic. I grew up playing Link to the Past (presuming that's the reference) and just adore that game.
