- Thanks for trying, tokenred. I did try to do that, but these wires are different than conventional speaker wires. They're more of a cloth, or fiber, wire.

Same Problem

-   I accidentally cut my cord of my Philips SPH2500. I was thinking that I could make the cord shorter. But, I noticed that the wire is different. So, when I tried connecting the wire. I noticed different colors. I did try to connect all the wires based on their colors. But, it didn't work. Besides that I found some fiber like wire. Is it still possible to reconnect the wire and make it work? Please help. -   dancen_001

You can repair the cord by cutting out the chewed section and reattach the wires to the corresponding wire on the other end and if you solder the connections then it will last longer. Make sure you isolate and exposed wire with electrical tape.

Yep. Same exact thing happened to my HD280's. Damn beagles!

Simply buy replacement cord from Sennheiser. It has a nice .100" pitch header so no soldering is necessary to replace the cord.

The trick is to get the phones apart. I almost destroyed mine before I realized you can take the ear padding off by stretching it from around the plastic earcup. Be careful not to tear the thin fabric on the inside of the pad. I believe you can buy replacements of the pads if you are not so lucky.

There are two screws that hold the phone parts all together. Take these out and you are there. Be sure you watch how all the parts come out because it is a bit of a puzzle to get it all back together. The tiny wire are also very fragile inside the phones so be very gentle.

Putting the pads back on was probably the hardest part. :/

Cheers.
