Busted Headphones
All throughout my life I've broken every set of headphones I've ever owned. I really dont know what the deal is. They always seem to lose connection on the right side. Does this happen to anyone else? Anyway, I kind of borrowed some headphones from my sister and now Ive found that I've broken those too. .. Anyone know how to fix it? Thanks to all who answer, I rate.

i've had the same thing happen alot, and i've sort of deduced to stay away from COBY headphones and Panasonic. more expensive headphones tend to stay together for longer, so bite the bullet and get yourself some $30 sony ones, trust me you'll save money on all the new 'phones you won't hafta buy.

I hear you. I listen to music when I sleep, so they fall by my bed. Every morning, I step on them. It's always on the right side for me, too. Crazy.
I'm not sure if there's a way you can fix it, but you could invest in some quality earphones. Those are pretty much non-breakable, as long as you don't rip the wiring out or anything.

i dont know how to fix them. but you could always get ear phones. i dont really know how you can break those. theres a pair made by sony that works really good. i cant find them on the internet. but they work really good.

I did that with one of them. All I can say is to not take apart the string that runs down the middle. I think that was what made mine go bezerk.

Well if theRe's not a pRoblem with the wiRing, theRe's not much you can do to fix them. The cheapest and easiet Route would simply be puRchasing new ones. Anyhow, I'm soRRie this keeps happening to you. PeRhaps it's the way you caRe foR them? Maybe you'Re too Rough? OR maybe it's just bad luck. Hope I helped!!

If it is always the right side, that is saying something about how you handle your headphones. It sounds like you are causing too much stress on the wiring on the right side, breaking the connection in the wiring. This usually happens in the wire right at the jack or right where it goes into the speaker. In your case, I'll guess it is up by the speaker. You could try to splice the wire, or solder it.. but most people buy really cheap-ass headphones that are pretty much designed to be disposable anyway. You can give fixing it a shot, or just throw 'em out and buy new, cheap head phones that will also break in a few months. I would not recommend you try buying expensive headphones, because they also break, and then you'd be out a significantly larger amount of money.

That has happened to me too. I have fried four sets and the same thing has happened. They all shorted out on one side or both. What you need to do is get a soldering iron, there might be one lying around your house and get a small knife or box cutter. This may do more damage, but if theyre gone, theyre gone. Take the headphones apart and then disconnect the wire from the broken side. now take some of the insulation off of the wire (about a half-inch) so that you can see the wire on the inside, but don't cut the metal wire on the inside. Take your hot soldering iron and remove all of the original solder. Now, take the metal wire that you stripped and hold it on the spot it was originally. Now solder it on. If this doesn't work then the wire is shorted-out in another location; possibly further down the wire. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't.
