SONY WH-CH700N bluetooth headphones: nothing happens when I connect the charger

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 06:16:54 -0700

I found this pair of headphones at a flea market. I opened them and found this improvisation on the power jack. Can you tell me if it was done correctly? I also replaced the battery because it was no longer good and the headphones work but when I try to connect them to charge nothing happens.

Sony WH-XB910N: Plastic Headphone Storage Pivot is Shattered

Sun, 12 Apr 2026 19:52:49 -0700

Hi everyone,

I've owned this pair for over a year, and they're beginning to disintegrate. The 910N earphones fold inward for storage, as well as having an asymmetrical range of rotation. They can pivot about 15 degrees forwards, but 90 degrees backward so that the entire thing can become as slim as possible in it's carrying case. Unfortunately the plastic pivot point has broken on my left earphone. This has left it with only 10 degrees of the front rotation functioning before the earphone becomes detatched from the headband, dangling from the connecting cable. This is an issue for transporting it. I fear the connnecting cable becoming frayed or snapped due to this.

I enjoy the sound quality on this pair of headphones so I'd like to continue using them, but wearing them in becoming increasingly difficult as the broken hinge gets worse and worse over time.

Has anyone encountered this before? I'll try and post pictures when I can. Thanks

Turtle Beach Ear Force XO Four: 3.5mm jack replacement wiring COLORS?

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 18:49:19 -0700

My headset has no sound coming out of either speaker, im going to attempt to change the 3.5mm jack.

I have a green wire, red wire, twisted green/red with gold copper and just a golden wire.

What do each of these wires do and which wire goes to which part on the new jack??

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

My left ear cup suddenly didn't give sound anymore, however, if I push the cup to my ear, the pressure that builds up makes it work again, but only when there is pressure applied to the earcup, Anny suggestions as to how to fix it?

Jabra Evolve 75: Does anyone know how to disassemble a Jabra Evolve 75?

The mini-USB port on my Jabra Evolve 75 is damaged so I cannot charge the device. I can’t figure out how to get the device apart in order to see if I can replace the port. The device looks similar to the Evolve 65 but is just different enough to make it a mystery on how to take it apart.

JBL Tune 520BT: Is there a reason my headphones keep turning on and off?

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 19:13:46 -0700

My head phones keep turning off when I put them on funny or angle them in some other way, and I think they might also not be sending the battery info properly sometimes. How would I get this fixed? If all else I just need to figure out how to disassemble and reassemble so I can see for myself.
