Headphones.

WAHHHHHH =[

So last night as usual, just took my headphones out after they worked FINE.

I wake up this morning, go to my computer plug em in, and all of a sudden they DONT WORK.

I open the orphus of the right headphone ear, as deafness has inhabited it.

I find that one wire is completely ripped off.

How the ballsack does that happen? Is there any way to fix these? Or should I just buy a new pair instead?

unless your tasty with a soldering iron, bin em

excuse to get a new set

depends how much they cost i suppose, cheap small soldering iron is a couple of quid, beg some solder and flux from local garage or some thing and then just erm, do it !! soldering is very easy to do.

PS the wire was probably under your chair leg or your foot, you stood up at the end of the evening and....rip....simple as that

Yeah happens to me alot (although now i have a £70 corsair set yummy) like speed said its just from the wire being pulled over time i fuc*ed about with the wiring but in the end my right ear was just a mound of ducktape so just binned em and got a new pair .

soldering iron, or new headphones (it's really stupid buy new headset only for ripped wire) borrow soldering iron and fix it like a boss! Plus it's easier then buy new headset

get the old mig welder out

Am I the only one who doesn't know how to weld?

I wish I was born a generation earlier

weld looolhehehaha

clearly there is a generational thing going on, i heard the other day about this geezer that goes round London changing light bulbs and replacing fuses cus apparently a lot of people don't even own a screwdriver, lmfao, imagine, how many Londoners does it take to change a light bulb ? answer 1, a professional light bulb changer don't you know !!!!!

soldering, (not welding)
simple teach your self lesson ;
get 2 wires, get the iron hot enough to melt the solder dip the ends of the wires in the flux, hold the wires together apply heat to solder whilst holding solder next to wires then melt solder around wires. rinse and repeat on scrap wire until you can do it without the wires falling apart after the solder has cooled and until you can do it neatly then you can solder anything you want, bear in mind, soldering copper sheet or large wiring will require a larger more powerful iron than an iron suitable for small or fine wire.

the above lesson will/should take 5-10 mins

speed

Rob, where abouts you live?

What did ya learn at school rob?! I did soldering at secondary school, that was only 7 years or so ago. It is as easy as speed says, 5 mins of practice and you should have it sorted

I'll give it a try, might as well.

I'm interested in learning welding anyway just to HAVE as a skill, now that would be useful :p


I live round the outskirts of Slough.

welding and soldering are quite different

i was joking btw rob

YOU KNOW WHAT.







I'M JUST GONNA BUY NEW ONES.

THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT GUYS, BUT I WAS SIMPLY BORN WITH NO INDUSTRIAL SKILLS.

Hahaha

My pair was pretty expencive but have lasted me so far and I put them through hell. I used to buy cheap sets and they would break.
I got fata1ity (or what ever his name is) headset for about 35quid and they havnt gone wrong for a good 4months that ive had them

I can use screwdrivers, spanners, hammers... But solders? I never got good at. Always used too much solder, burned myself, wrecked the job, once I soldered a radio to a worktable.

LOL Bownty only you. I can solder and I have a brother who has travelled all over the world weilding stuff. So im coverd. As for paying some one to change lightbulbs this must be a North/south thing. If some one went round here offering to change light bulbs for money they would think its a cover for a male escort service. lonley house wifes paying to have the light bulbs serviced.

Haha lol,

Yeah, I'm a pretty good diver and I was thinking how much cash you could earn for doing it underwater.

No s**t I'd die tho .. . lol

I remember soldering something to do with a scaletrix with my Dad when i was about 10 i feel so manly right now that my dad has taught me skills like this

"I have a brother who has travelled all over the world weilding stuff."

is your bruv a perv or just a homicidal maniac ? or does he go around the world WELDING stuff, hope its the latter :!:

haha speed

Its probably not worth the effort of finding someone with a soldering iron, or buying a soldering iron, attempting to fix the headphones and realising that you've made things worse. I would just buy a new one. Time is money
