Sony MDR-XB450AP Extra Bass: Right side not working

Wed, 24 May 2023 19:27:02 -0700

In the gym, i the wire of my headphones got pulled during my workout. Since then, I the right side is not working. I followed a guide to disassemble the right side of the headphones and found that the solders to the speaker were intact. Everything seems fine, I don't doubt any damage to the speaker, as they were working fine just before the wire got pulled. What else could the problem be? I am attaching a few photos after disassembly, please look into them and report the cause as to why the right side is not working.

P.S. The left side is working fine.

Sony MDR-XB450AP Extra Bass: Replacing minijack of Headphone SONY MDR-ZX 660

Sat, 22 Feb 2020 08:07:35 -0700

Good morning,

I am trying to replace the jack of the headphones SONY MDR-ZX 660. The problem is that I don’t really know where I should solder the wires. I have 5 wires on the cable: red, green, golden, light blue and blue+golden (those 2 come from the same orifice). You can see an image attached. I haven’t found any schema on internet which shows the color coding for this combination. You can see the images attached.

You can see the product specs here:https://www.whathifi.com/sony/mdr-zx660a...

Anyone can help me out? I have tried with the multimeter and I have done some guess with different combinations but without good results.

Thanks in advance.
