Title: NEED TO REPLACE 3.5 MINI PLUG ON BEYERDYNAMIC HEADPHONES
Post by: waltmon on May 13, 2013, 04:22:40 PM: Can anyone on the page replace a badly bent 3.5mm mini plug on my Beyerdynamic Headphones? My daughter knocked the laptop of of the kitchen table and my wife caught it by the headphone cable.... I wasn't sure if this was something easily accomplished by one of our cable gurus on the the board.

Thank you.

Something like this should work:

You probably could do it yourself.

I reapaied a set of Beyers for someone on here and the cable was really strange and hard to solder, like Robb said. I ended up replacing the whole cable and not just soldering on a new connector.
