did your left bud broke after you did the mod, or is it already broken even before you did the mod?
It was already not working well.
That's why I tried to fix them.
I got them from ebay uk for 8.90 gbp including shipping.
I sent a message to the store that they were faulty and they were kind to send me a full refund in just an hour without even asking for a return.
Good work! Can the casing go back on cleanly or did you have to destroy it?
Depends on how careful you are when disassembling it. There are few plastic pins that you have to be careful not to break.
Now the problem is where can I get a working pair of MH1's from ?
I saw that they have them on ebay from spain for the same price incl. shipping.
But are they going to be ok ?
It seems as a common problem for that model to have a channel imbalance:

I don't understand why everyone keeps raving about these and ignoring the fact they are plagued with balance problems that make them virtually useless.Sure they sound good but what good are they if every time you take them out you don't know if they will work for 5 minutes or an hour before one of the channels cuts out and you have a useless piece of wire/crap hanging around your neck? It really pisses me off that this thread continues to mislead people when this appears to be a fundamental design flaw (at least when used with the iPhone).
