First, I would like to apologize about my username. I made this account in high school, over four years ago.
Now on to the story. I apologize if this is primitive for most of you but I could use some of your advice. So I have had these Grado SR80s for over 4 years now and they've been amazing. Except last month one of the cables detached on one of the headphones. So I take out the soldering gun and re-solder that piece. It's all fine until it ripped again a week later (I didn't support the cable well enough so tension was reaching the actual solder contact point). So tonight I tried re-soldering it again, except this time while I was trying to remove the solder from the headphone, the entire connecting joint pulled off as I tried to remove the molten wire... I have attached an image of the mess below. Now is there any way to salvage this headphone? I'd hate to see it go like this? I tried looking for some form of metallic plate on the left side but nothing is there. Where was that little piece of metal conducting to? Anybody have experience/advice for what my next move should be?
Thank you in advanced for any help whatsoever.
Note the metal plate sitting on the top left.
