Been fixing 240 140 headphones for yrs, but the new ones hahe a modular cable w 1/8" plugs @ both ends. Cable is fine, so obviously the problem lies w/ the internal jack/wiring, which is no problem either if I could just figure out how to take the damn thing apart...different than the old ones, which I can fix in my sleep. How do you take the outside of the jack housing apart?

SOURCE: headphones quit working.

I'm guessing no because RCA doesn't even sell this product anymore. Btw, I don't have a wire on my headset and it's the same model.

SOURCE: Wiring code for the jack?

You're right on the code, with the exception of the right and left. I'm an AKG dealer and spoke to their service department. Here goes:

White=Ground
Yellow=Left
Red=Right

To confirm this, I used a multimeter in continuity mode and tested them. This code is 100% correct.

SOURCE: loose/broken wire

the best way to check if the head speaker is ok, is by opening up the headphone bit and disconnect the wires and make a new connection with a naked end , and test it in a stereo, if that still works the you wont have to buy new headphones you can just disconnect all the wires and buy or make you own connection again. let me know if you help making a new connection. cheers

Jbl roxy over ear headphones ref 430 need to install new cord. how do i open cans?
Hello.
Headphone speakers stop functioning properly when the wireconnections to the speaker are broken. This problem often develops when theheadphone cord gets jerked while being worn. The solder connection might alsodetach over time if it was not properly manufactured. The wire can bereconnected to the speaker with a soldering iron to repair the headphone. Beaware, though, that headphones are not designed to be user maintained in thisfashion. In some cases, it is difficult to get to the speaker due to the casingdesign.
Instructions and tools needed
Screwdriver or butter knife (depending on headphone design),Soldering iron, Electrical solder
1 Plug in the solderingiron. It takes a few minutes for it to get warm enough to be used.
2 Unscrew the screws holdingthe headphone casing over the speakers. This step applies only to models thatuse screws in the casing.
3 Insert the end of the butterknife into the seam on the headphone ear pieces. Pry the two halves of thecasing apart. This step is performed only on headphone models that do not usescrews in the casing.
4 Touch the tip of thesoldering iron to the electrical solder. A small drop should melt onto the tipof the iron.
5 Touch the tip of the soldering iron to the end of thedetached speaker wire inside the headphone speaker cavity. Try to get an evencoating of solder around the exposed metal end of the wire. The soldersolidifies on the wire once the soldering iron is removed.
6 Touch the end of the wire tothe solder on the metal tab attached to the speaker.
7 Touch the tip of the solderingiron to where the wire and tab connect. The heat of the soldering iron meltsthe solder on the wire and tab together. This repairs the broken connectionbetween the wire and speaker.
8 Replace the speaker casingonto the headphone. It should snap back into place for models without screws Thanks.

How do I connect my iPod to an MP3 jack in a car
<p>One of the best ways to pass the time during a long trip is to hear some of their favorite songs. The iPod is much easier to bring your music without access to a ton of space in your car, and is easy to connect your iPod directly to most stereos new car. <br /> <p><br /> <p>1. Connect one end of the audio cable to take "extra" on the front of the car radio. This seems the headset from your iPod. <br /> <p><br /> <p>2.

Can the audio be heard normally from the TV while these headphones are also being used? One person in the family is deaf and will use the headphones while the rest of the family will watch also with the...
Randy - I don't know what TV you have but in general media devices turn the internal speakers off when you plug anything into the headphone jacks. If your TV does you can probably do the following for probably around $20 (USD)


If you have a relatively new TV you could get a pair of inexpensive self powered computer speakers and a simple 3.5 mm to RCA stereo adapter. Then plug a standard red-white RCA stereo cable into the red-white stereo output jacks on the TV and the other end into the 3.5mm adapter and a 3.5" stereo cable from the adapter into the computer speakers.


Or, if the TV headphone jack is 3.5" instead of the larger 1/4" headphone type you could simply get a 3.5" stereo Y adapter and then plug the headphones into one end of the Y and the computer speakers into the other.


Either way sound for everyone.


Thanks for using Fix Ya

The left one has no audio.
If you have to pay someone to fix them, it would probably be cheaper to buy a new one.

You have little to lose trying to fix them yourself, but you will need at least a multimeter and a soldering iron.

The cable is what generally gets damaged often near the plug or the headphones.
See if you can find where the damage is.
One method is to open up the headphones and see if you have connections back to the plug from inside. Start with the one that is not working.
If you can't get a connection to the plug, go down the cable, looking for damage.
If you get to the plug, cut it off and strip the ends of the wires, and try to get a connection back to the headphones., and if so, fit a new plug.
Don't forget to put the wire trough the plug cover before you start soldering.

My headphones don't work, but the wires are not broken. only one side works if you put pressure on the jack.
What you describe means that there is a connection problem at the jack end. e don't if it's at the male jack (the one at the cable) or at the female one (the jack on the device). Check your headphones at another device to clarify this. If the problem is active on the other device too, you have to fix the male jack. In order to do this, you can easily change this end with another jack (complete jack and part of the cable from another headphones) by connecting the cables. The best solution is to change the jack with another one and solder the cables but since these cables are very thin, it isn't so easy.

In case of a problem or clarification, don't hesitate to post me a reply before rejecting my answer.
If you are satisfied, rate my solution with the "thumbs" or (even better) add a testimonial.

I believe that the line going into the headphone is broken
Does it come and go the sound when you move the cable? If so then yes it is. Make certain it's not at the plug end first. It's easier to replace the plug then the whole cable. If in doubt cut of the plug and replace it with a new one. You will have to solder the old cable on to it.
If it doesn't solve the problem or you know for certain the plug end is good. Then you will have to remove the cable at the earphone. First remove the ear pad cushion and any felt, from the one where the cable goes. This should reveal access screws. Unscrew them and remove the cable. You should be able to get a new cable from your local hi-fi/electrical shop.
PS You can glue the felt back on if you have to force it off.

I was given "ALTEC LANSING ATP3 MULTIMEDIA 3PC SPEAKERS " However, It is missing the cable that plugs into the "input" that connects it to the PC. I realize I could probably buy one...
The cord you are looking for, that plugs into the "input" of the speaker and the speaker output (green) audio connector of your sound card looks like a plug for a pair of headphones. It will have the same type of connector on both ends, the male connector.

it is a 3.5mm male mini stereo plug at both ends.

Headphones have two type of plugs, the 3.5mm or the 1/4 inch jacks. The headphones for personal audio devices like an mp3 player, ipod or the like have a 3.5 mm, most older and some newer receivers have the bigger 1/4 inch jack for headphones.

so look at a pair of headphones, notice the plug on it, and then find one that has that same plug but on both ends of the cord.

If you need more help let me know, and if you found this advice helpful a "FixYa" rating would be appreciated.

Plantronics Bluetooth Headset P590
This is a "known issue" that I have raised to Plantronics. Whether they do anything about it, remains to be seen. The workaround I have discovered seems to work with both of my P590 headphones that stopped charging:

1. Plug in the USB charging cable to a laptop or computer that is powered on.
2. Connect the USB charging cable to the headphones
3. Connect the 3.5mm headphone cord cable to the headphone output on the laptop of computer (this is the long cable with the normal 3.5mm stereo plug at each end)
4. Plug the other end of the 3.5mm cable into the P590 input.

The headphones should start charging.
