Hey guys i just fixed my headphone witch i thought was forever lost and wanted to share what i did.

The problem i had was that i was getting lower sound from the right speaker, almost minimal.

The cause: The wire got cut in the entrance of the speakers

Solution: Dispose cable section and resolder

[[[WARNING:]]] 
Check for guarantee first before breaking it even more!. Im just a simple amateur,  did it because the headphones where cheap and if i broke them it wasnt such a loss.


Youl need a Soldering iron and Electric tape

Step 1: Finding the problem

Ok First we are going to see if we can locate the location of the problem. So that if the problem is in the jack or other place we dont start cutting things unnecessarily.

Plug the headphones and put them in your ears and start wiggling the cable in the red circled areas to see if you can locate where the cable is loose. The volume should go up or down suddenly when you hit the spot

Sometimes you wont find nothing.
