Poor headphones...

I did this just today... I think it's from pulling too hard on the cord. I was trying to reach for something with them being held on the other end... Anyway... Anyone know how I could probably get a new wire/repair? I have seen these things modified by people and they put on a new wire and all kinds of stuff...

Its from not having a big enough room

 

[TridenT]

Probably.

The wires are still intact aren't they? I'd probably just use some electrical tape to fix the sheath, but I'm cheap, so..

If it's a higher end headphone model replacement cords may be available.

Think I can get something like that off the sennheiser website?

I think it's only a matter of time until this happens to my A700s. They keep getting caught on the arm when I turn to get out of my chair.

I didn't see it there. Under HD555, cables, part number 510somethingsomethingsomething it didn't show a picture or anything. I don't know what it is.

So I'm guessing that's the cable on Sennheiser website.

I probably have to solder that shit on too, eh? God damn-it... I'll wait until these bitches go completely dead/crazy.

Yeah, probably easier to just use electrical tape.

yeah unfortunately the hd555 cables are not detachable...

Go to an electronics/hobby store and buy a short length of the narrowest heat shrink tubing that'll fit over the plug and over the broken strain relief. Looks like you'll need less than an inch, but you won't find any pieces as short as that. Slide it over and evenly heat the tubing with a lighter until it shrinks all the way.

Or, pretend that that's too hard to do and just use electrical tape.

I just had that happen to my laptop ac adapter
except the sheath is ok but the inside wire is loose.

Take it apart, cut it, splice it properly. Or take it to a repair shop.

meh just got a used one off ebay for $15 shipped.
I went to radioshack for parts and it came out to be around $10.

Use string to physically attach the top to the bottom, then electric tape to cover the whole thing. It'll last as long as a new cord.
