Welcome to Gaia! ::


I'm trying to fix my headphones but these wires are very thin and there isn't much slack. Even if I add some on they're a b***h to work with and electrical tape won't stay on them properly. I'd use heat shrink tubing but I have none and I need to solder a connection anyway.

I don't know if like encasing the splice in solder would work or last. I'm fixing them a second time since the housing just ******** with the wires and bends them in impractical ways.

Really its probably time I buy new headphones these ones are over two years old and they've been through s**t but I hate giving up on electronics unless its completely ********

Genius

It'll work, yeah, but I don't know about lasting.

Could you swap out the wire entirely?

Two years isn't that long imo. I've had a pair of headphones for probably 6+ years that I've just continuously fixed. Even completely swapped out the housing once and just re-used the speakers. $40 to replace basically everything but the speakers vs. $300 for new headphones. No reason to buy new headphones.

I really do need a stereo than the ghetto s**t I got ****** rigged. I only have a phone so I take an aux cable to a line in to my VCR, and amplify it like that as you would with a cable box to play the sound out on my TV. The TV does have some pretty decent bass. I do have enough speakers to shake my house down but no stereo.
