The right headphone of my MDR-V6 suddenly is almost mute (can only hear a tiny bit of base). Dead or repairable?

SOURCE: How to Rewire Sony MDR-7506 headphones

Okay, cut and strip the cord. There should be two copper wires and (on Sony headphones, at least) a red and a green strand. On a new 1/8" jack, there should be three connections. The middle one is left, and is where the green one goes. The short one on the side is right, and is where the red one goes. The long bit is the common, and is where the copper one goes. Before you solder, however, remember which strand is which, because you have to sand or burn off the colored enamel. (Use a fine grain paper, or use a standard lighter or stick match- anything else might damage or melt the wire)

SOURCE: ear pad replacement instructions for Sony MDR-V6 Headphones

Hello to all who have exhausted all avenues seeking instructions on how to remove and replace Ear Pads on Sony MDR-V6 Headphones.... All that is required is a little patience maybe some fingernails... The Pads simply slip on and off by pinching ends of cuff that is nearest the plastic backing of The Headphones by pulling them from their seat/flange .. i found it easiest to just roll the cuff off using my thumb w/rolling motion away from the plastic backing/housing of the headphones.. no tools required.. they are installed exactally like one would place a tire on a rim.. exact same motion is required as when removing a tire.. i can give no better illustruction than comparrison to tire removal and replacement. Be careful to make sure one end in completely set deeply into one side before attempting to pull opposing side over its side/flange..start on top and work way around to bottom or vise versa.. To get an idea of what you are attempting to do take a close look at new headphone pad rear and you will see the small flap of leather on rear .. there is a small overlap that fits perfectly over the flange.. dont try to force it as you may tear them...

SOURCE: I am looking for replacement

Yes, the replacement pad for mdr 7506 fits in for the v600. They can be replaced for one another. There are different types of v600 and 7506, You just have to look for the 7506 that looks more like the v600. That should do the job for you. Hope this information helped You.

Sony MDR-RF4000K wireless headphones

Probably a bit late for the original poster, but just in case anyone else comes across this....

I also have the Sony MDR-RF4000K wireless headphones and the problem with the sound cutting out has got steadily worse over time, to the point where I felt like throwing them away. I replaced the batteries (use normal rechargeable AAs with a bit of card to trip the little switch that would normally be tripped by the Sony battery pack), however that had no effect on the problem.

After a little research I have established that the power on the headphones themselves is triggered by a pull switch in the right ear cup. When you put the headphones on, the padded headband is stretched and pulls the switch up, turning the headphones on. The headphones have always been a little big on me, and I can imagine that the headband has stretched permanently in the last few years, probably leading to the switch on being more marginal.

At any rate, although I don't have a fix, I now know that if the sound cuts out, I don't need to take the headphones off - just pull the headband up slightly on the right-hand side, or push the headphones as a whole down a bit, again on the right-hand side.

I'm hearing a high frequency electrical "whirring"

COuld be a grounding issue. Place a ground plug on your computer where it plugs into the wall outlet. You can get these at almost any store for about a $1.
Otherwise, you might try using a battery backup system.
