Well, I was semi-successful at the repair. I don't seem to get the the
stereo separation I did before, and the left side is louder. With the
balance all the way to the right I still hear out of the left side.<br>
Ah, well, it was worth a try. Maybe I can pass this pair on to my kids.<br>

<pre wrap="">Yes... they use a form of magnet wire in a multistrand cable. The one I
fixed
had six strands bare and one coated. The enamel coating can be scraped
off with
a knife, or burned off with high temperature. One of those micro-torch
butane lighters
might work. I use x-acto knife...

<pre wrap="">Is there a trick to soldering those micro leads in a set of

tried to replace the jack on a set a while back and found it
impossible to solder the leads - they seemed to be coated with
something.
It seems a shame to junk a decent set of headphones because of
something that >should< be so easily repairable.
