People seem to be finding this awesome.. Yet I can’t understand why you’d
buy all this gear just to fix headphones, I wouldn’t pay over £10 for
headphones nor earphones… Surely if you’re paying more than £10 you’re a
marketer’s prey and not so financially intelligent… Different if you
already have the gear lying around, maybe, but even still, my earphones
cost £1 online and do me fine.
Is there any way to convert a wired headphone to a wireless one?
Hi! thanks for the very helpful and detailed video. I have Bose earphones
in which one of the earplugs got detached from the middle plastic blob from
where the wire gives out to the earplugs (The one which has volume control
in certain earphones). Can you please tell how to repair that? I love those
earphones and it’ll be really sad if I have to throw those away
screw this, just buy dollar store/poundland headphones
Would you be able to solder a female 3.5mm plug instead of the male? So you
could insert a 3.5mm cable 🙂
is this account abandoned?
Would this work for say ipod in-ear headphones and others of the sort?
I’ve bought 4 sets of similar earphones (from 3 different companies) and
all of them either arrive faulty or break after minimal use, I like a bit
of diy anyway so I just wondered if it would work since the wires tend to
be much smaller than on normal headphones.
Please come back :((!
+DIY Perks Great video as usual! 😀 We need more though, any videos planned
for the near future?
Good tip man, but I would suggest to anyone trying to do this to strip the
insulation off the individual wires before soldering. Plastic and
soldering irons don’t mix, unless you like toxic fumes.
What if the jack plug has a “turn to lock” mechanism? You can’t find those
plugs can you?… 🙁
I have JBL J88i.
such practical tips! Ps. The style of the video made me think about the
word `adorkable`, but I mean, in a totally awesome way! :)
Would this work for changing the whole wire?
You are a very beautiful man.
I’m thinking about doing this with my great Sennheiser headphones which
have been collecting dust for over a few years now.
Just one thing, couldn’t a defective headphone also be caused by a wire
breach somewhere along the wire, instead of just a loose connector? Or is
the connector the problem in the majority of the cases?
Hey guys
im really new to soldering and also want to replace my headphone jack.
problem is why isn’t my solder iron sticking to the jack like shown on this
video?
is there a type of solder iron to purchase or am i doing it wrong lol.
Message me asap 🙂
I tried this and the coating on the wires would not melt!
LOOOL the ending XD very informative video mate thanks
Awesome moves..
Will this work with a headset though? The one with a mic built in?
I definitely recommend using the metal casings and based jacks, the plastic
ones tended to melt a little when the iron was brought to the left and
right channel segments. My headphones tend to get this done to them and
even my some of my cheaper usb wired devices, equally as easy.
Good tutorial- :P
Horrible soldering but awesome video! Good job! Oh and you can also remove
the enamel coating on the wires with a lighter or torch to make it a little
easier.
I have a pair off headphone and the sound is more raise in the right
side.can you help me ?
I love your videos man, mostly because how clear and easy to understand
they are keep on going with that good job
Maybe a DIY dual monitor stand as a future video?
Ir what about a cool headset stand?
Tip for soldering (no pun intended): Keep a piece of steel wool handy to
clean the tip of the soldering iron with. A damp sponge is good for
removing solder but isn’t very good at removing the oxidized layer which is
preventing heat transfer to your work. If you don’t have steel wool you can
crumple up some aluminium foil or use sand paper. After cleaning the tip of
the soldering iron cover it in solder to prevent it from oxidizing.
Edit: Use abrasives sparingly – they will eventually remove the iron
coating on your copper tip, causing it to oxidise more readily.
Great video as always. My sons tablet headphone port has been damaged and
will only work if the headphone jack is held in a certain position. Any
idea if this is repairable.
Please do a detailed build guide of how you made the bluetooth speaker
What is that you plugged your headphones into at 3:45? It is lovely!
I can’t find a spunge anywhere
Very cool , i have done that to some speakers in the past :), i also
replaced the plastic insulation but i did this as i forgot to put it over
the wire :). May i ask where you got your desk its very nice !
Well I posted a comment 2 days ago and,speak of the devil,my headphones
broke,but this didn’t fix them,they are broken somewhere at the volume
adjuster thing,if I open them up,do I void the warranty?
fix headphones, if jack related, but nice video
I’ll try it 😮 Hopefully it will work
dat moves tho.. :)
awesum videos 🙂
wud be nice if u promote my channel on your next video 😛 ?
excellent.
Thanks, works for me!
what iron soldier are you using ? how much wattage does it use?
You’ve made soldering looks so easy. Every time I tried to do it, I made
things worse. ;-;
You should avoid moving the wires while the solder is still liquid. That
causes bad solder joints.
i have urbeats audio earbuds and the sound come out of them is too low you
bear hear a thing so what is the problem with the jack or the headphones
i want to repair them please help me out
Thanks for the vid
bruh, you forgot to use dat flux :
OMG! My computer speakers are on the wrong side! I’ve been listening to
them the wrong way the whole time!! XD
Breaks headphones while dancing…
this is just what i needed to fix my headphones :D
Loved the “This is the left/right channel” idea. If sb is a Hi-Fi DIY freak
(in the good sense), (s)he could have the wires also stabilized (and not
only the jack) while they are cooling down after soldering.
Using a multi-meter and its continuity test one can find the left/right/mic
or anything else cable working on the wires of the old chopped off jack
(e.g. http://youtu.be/InJhgwmj2So?t=11m18s or Multi-Meter continuity test
).
But mine is a usb headset :(
Thank for helping :D
YouTube’s #1 useful DIY channel.
removable cable ftw!
