They build them to break so you'll buy new ones
I lost count for how many times I had to perform quick fixies on plastic swivel parts...every single piece of plastic literary fell apart. And the most annoying detail, these sound as new after 5 yrs of daily use, battery stills in great shape. I guess I found motivation to do what should had been done long ago. Thank you
I dropped my headphones on the ground and broke the swivel. This video was the perfect savior for my wallet! 🎉🎉🎉 For someome doing their first soldering, the hardest part was figuring out how to work the iron! 😂😂😂
Thanks for this post. I have no experience with anything like this. I was able to follow along and fix my headset. THANK YOU saved me a bit of money!
My little brother got a hold of mine a few years back and he didn't understand the concept of "don't pull apart so far on the headphones when you're taking them off" and he ended up breaking them :^) after 4 years I finally have enough courage to replace them
I bought a couple of Sony's the same as your video and both was broken not in shipping but" As Is" and a light bulb went off and a mighty voice came in my mind " Hey! You big dummy, check out Utube for some that been where a dummy never been before!" Duh, the next thought of course came through. All joking aside your video was informative AND I could tell,showed me something you did that was going to stop me from calling myself a big dummy. Thanks again, you just got yourself another subscriber. Cheers 🍻
Thank you for the help man I soldered for the first time and everything doing this and Im so happy that they're fixed and working great !

THANK YOU VERY MUCH BRO, YOU HELP ME A LOT. 👍👍👍👍
Excellent job 👏
So…. I ommm, may or may not have bought 5 other pairs not knowing that you could buy parts so…. Yeah…$769 down the drain. But hey their all fixed now! ❤love the video man! ❤ just wish I knew about it sooner 😅
Thanks
A colleague of mine filled (and soldered) the broken plastic swivel mechanism with a hot plastic stick and that really worked. I still use these, though they are annoying
Just fixed my headphones after 6+ years of them being broken. Now i just need to baby them 😂
Hello, thanks for the video, but the link for swivel part is not working yet 😞. Does anyone know where to buy it in the Europe (EU), please?
Hi Jon great job, can you help me to find replaces please? The ebay link doesnt works now. Thankyou.
Hey! First off thanks for posting the vid! I am having a small issue my left side was broken so I'm not sure if this affected anything, but when I finished soldering and had reassembled the headphones my play/ call function button no longer worked properly. Pressing it now skipped songs instead of pausing or playing. Also volume keys are also a mess. Volume up turns the volume down and volume down skips forward in a playlist. If there is any insight you can give me I'd appreciate it!
0:29 Hello. I clicked on the link fornte part but it looks no longer aailable. I actually found it in Walmart online, $20 for the left a d rigght. waiting to get them by next week. I also have an older Sony MDR V55 that also broke on the swivel. Any ideas as to how repair them? thanks
J'e ou le exacte même problème ! Merci énormément ! Do you know the name of the replacement part and a please to recommend to buy? Great thanks to you and bad quality Sony or engineering teem.

Thank you so much it's very much helpful me 🙏
Great video. Unfortunately I'm all thumbs. Do you do repairs, I have 2 of these earphones (I don't learn) . If you don't , can you recommend repairs elsewhere.
I’m trying to fix my son’s and have the part. I am trying to follow your steps; however, I am wondering how do I put back the cables? What is the silver thing you use to make them stay in place?

One question, what is the name of the gun you use to put the cables back together and where can I get it?

Yes, you will need a new swivel. You can find these fairly cheap on ebay (less than $15) Thanks for asking!

I bought some on Ali Express, took a few weeks to get to the u.s.
Damn I have to have a soldiering kit? I'm better off just buying a new pair they're like $20 used.
I have a pair of 750. Why don't you sell anything besides 650 and 950?
It’s to complicated
this is not repair this is a replace
