AD900 Repairs

Suopermanni · 25th June 2012, 6:27 PM

Hi there,

I managed to somehow to break the headphone plug of my AD900s in my soundcard. While I managed to extract the plug out of the soundcard, I can't reattach it to my headphone. Do I need to recable the phone or something to repair it? Is there somewhere in Brisbane that will do this?

It's a pretty basic soldering job, you could probably do it yourself

I've done a few pairs of IEM's with my mediocre soldering skills, and they're a lot harder.

I never wielded a soldering iron before and I don't have one. I'm a bit reluctant to do it as I'm not good with my hands. Nor do I know what I'm meant to be doing with it.

Using a spare adapter I had, I managed to find out the right ear works but the left ear doesn't.

There is a guy that recables headphones just north of me, let me PM you his email. Ask him.

I guess from reading this that Audio Technica do not use removable cables?

Nope. Hasn't worried me yet!

My chair has rolled over the cable so many times I've lost count. Still work, luckily!
