Where to get headphones repaired mdr-v700

Dead · 28th January 2004, 2:35 PM

The swivel joints on my Sony MDR-V700DJ headphones have cracked and I want to know where i can get replacements.

I have called sony parts already and they only replace the whole headband for $209 which is a complete and utter joke for $280 headphones.

Any one know

It's actually a very common fault for the V700 to develop (it starts after only a few months), if they're out of warranty it's probably easiest to just araldite them up or somesuch.
I don't think there are cheaper ways to replace/repair them other than the whole headband.

omg
how fucked are these headphones!

the sound quality is absolutely top notch, but the build quality is the worst i've seen for quite a while.

the leather on the left earcup of my mdr-v700's is cracking, and both the swivel joints have all but fallen off.

not only that, but the wiring is broken somewhere in the band, so i only get the left channel working.

in theory all that needs to be done is a new piece of wiring run through and the swivel lugs replaced, but surely that can't cost $200?

fkn ironic that this happens 2.5 years after i buy them. the "manual" which came with them is completely lacking in any mention of a warranty or even contact details for sony
