Fix busted headphones Fast!

I broke my skullcandies again... 

This is the technique I have used on both sides, they're old hesh ones and though there's that lifetime warranty I like them this way more, like my ripped jeans and my falling apart bag...

This repair lasts indefinitely and it's tough, or perfect for a quick fix. It also saves the cables snapping before you fix them properly. 

Step 1 You'll need

 - Tape
 - An old card, I used a Game card
 - Scissors
 - About two minutes

I like how you said "again". My SK Ti's have broken about 9 times now, I'm surprised i haven't killed the wires yet.

Aye, though the little extenders in the Hesh are way too fragile... This fix has been working for months now... I was pretty lucky with wires but they seem to be less crappy in Sk's for some reason...

Not the case with my old FMJs, that was that pairs second and final fail :/

[KentsOkay]

Good stuff *thumbs up*

[killerjackalope]

Cheers, eventually they will have nothing original in the structure knowing me...

Oh I forgot to mention one of the sides of my skulls candies have broke.... But itsseems to be a wire problem.Can you fix that at all?

[killerjackalope]

Yeah, just needs soldered.

[Missmaxcady]

Ahhh dont have any or a soldering pen:/
I should take them back.. "REFUND"

[killerjackalope]

Actually they have a lifetime warranty, just find the appropriate address etc. for skull candy repairs, it'll be free but maybe have to pay shipping...

The hesh ones always seem to do this.

Wee design flaw with the arms, all the pressure gets put on one point of the inner arm, so they snap easily.

A splint - what a simple solution! I have broken headphones too, will definitely do this.

[killerjackalope]

Good stuff, glad to be of service...

i did this quite a while back with mine (same exact headphones lol) only i used black duct tape on one side and neon green on the other. you are right, it will last for a while when repaired this way!

Cool I wish, I'd had cool colours at the time...
