Where to get headphones repaired?

[jrebman]

I've got a pair of Sennheiser PX-100s that I use all the time with my netbook so I can hear the speech synthesizer, and after nearly 3 years of daily use the connection at the minijack seems to have broken for one channel.  I'd just go out and get a right angle 3.5mm stereo plug, but the tiny size of these wires is a bit daunting.  Is there a place one can send these for retermination for cheap?  These are the best lightweight cans I've ever had and while I don't want to buy another pair I also don't want to spend a fortune for a new connector.

Thanks,

Jim

Amazon has those new for $45.
I could fix the cable for you but with shipping and stuff it would probably be $15,.. so I'd just go for a brand spankin' new pair for another $30.

Steve,

Ok, thanks for the link -- think I'll buy one from amazon and then try to fix this one.  Looks like the model I have has been replaced by the new one -- the series II -- and some of the review comments give me pause as the ones I have seem ideal for what I use them for, and the hard case is a definite plus, where the new model only has a soft pouch.

I also remembered last night that there is a local pro gear shop where I used to buy my studio gear and their tech can probably do it for me for the cost of the connector.

Appreciate the offer though,

Jim

Jim,

I was going to say that an audio shop might be a good place to get the headphones repaired, maybe an electronics repair station?  Your Pro Gear place would probably be even better.

Good luck,
