Hiya
I've been using a pair of MDR-D66s for about 18 months. They're my first quality pair of headphones, and I've really enjoyed them. They're comfortable, are very portable and most importantly they sound pretty good.
For about the last 6 months I'd been noticing an occasional rattle in the right earpiece when I was walking around. It would come and go with seemingly no rationale. I meant to look at it for ages, but I never got around to it.
Now suddenly the right can has completely stopped working. No matter how much I fiddle with the wires, no sound comes out of it at all.
So leading on from this - would you suggest poking around inside it? Bear in mind that I have little electronics knowledge.
The other option is a new set of headphones. I can't stand my rubbish bundled in-ear ones any more, so I'll have do something.
Is there anything someone could recommend that's in the region of £50? It would preferably be easily portable, and closed back for general outside use, but I'd be willing to sacrifice that if they're really that good.
I guess I mainly listen to hip hop and rock, but there's a substantial amount of jazz, noise and a growing bundle of classical stuff too.
Many thanks!
