Ok a few months ago, I really wasnt into headphones and such, but I knew what a good set of cans was, so I opted for a pair of Sennheiser HD202's for a good price, seeing as how I used them for games such as CS. Well heres the problem, I woke up one morning put them on and only the right phone worked? The left one would not work, and no matter what I did I could not get it to work. So I took them apart, looked at all of the wires, solder points, etc, and nothing was wrong at ALL, I really dont know how they broke I took awesome care of them, and it really pissed me off that they broke, because they were a spare pair that I used like say when I was listening to my cdplayer and wut not. Now my question, does anyone know what I can do to maybe fix this, replace the cord? As long as its a decent cheap way, ill do it, but if its not then im just going to put them down as a loss =( Ok well ive got my HD600's on the way, and they will be here Thursday, so I am really hyped about that, and I would like get the 202's fixed for listning to CD, MP3 Player until I can afford my mint amp for the 600's =D Sorry for the LONG ass post, but its late, Im bored and hell and thoght that I might as well post about it here thx in advance.

The cord connects to each side through a standard 1/8 jack, so you could try replacing it.

Hmmm, any clue where I can get a good cord? Or will it even matter what kind I use?

I doubt it'll matter, the HD202s don't seem like a better cable would improve them much, and a better cable would cost more than buying a new pair.

 

[bioallen]

Ah, Ic, cool well what would be a local type of store that would sell a cable that I could use anyone know?

Did you ever use them with the computer..if so...don`t.

 

[bioallen]

well I did use them at the comptuer ALL the time, and now I would use them, say if a freind came over and lanned our if a friend just NEEDED some cans in general.

I`ve lost 6-7 headphones thanks to using the computer output. Don`t use it..

 

[Newbie1]

Can you elaborate on that a little bit Muzi? How exactly did you lose headphones from using them on a computer?

 

[MuZI]

I dunno, but when you lose 6-7 headphones by using them with your computer output and hten buy a pair of the same ones and they last very long until you plug them into the comptuer and they die...that tells me something. Maybe it is just me but i`ve tried this on 3 computers. And the left side of my headphones always went out....Coincidence? I dunno...

 

[Bolt San]

I think it's just you, I use all of my headphones with the computer at various times, and none of them are broken or look like they'll break soon.

The computer thing is downright creepy though I'm sure there's some logical explanation....my audiophile side would cringe at the thought but my scientific side would try further experimentation.

 

[MuZI]

Do you use something between you and the computer?

 

[bioallen]

theres no way that it happened because of my comptuer, but that is pretty weird none the less
