So i've been using my skullcandy ink'd in ear headphones for about.. 2 -3 weeks now, and i noticed that when i press my wire against the jack, it would lose sound.

not sure what this part of the wire is called but heres a picture for a better understanding. 5746

so thats where my problem is located. slightly curve that wire and no more music.

Is this a fix for this ? i was thinking of striping the plastic and solder it back and then use electrical tape to cover up the solder points.

But i rather refer to RS first to see if there are any better ideas.

TIA

Are you sure it's the headphone?have you tried it on other electronics?
Also you said it's about 3 weeks old?is it still under warranty?

not sure if this applies ...

Should be able to find something on Google, but it might require some soldering to fix it/strengthen it.

Send an email to Skullcandy. They have a great lifetime warranty policy.
I had an issue with a pair of FMJ's and they just sent me a new set.

Use the Skullcandy warranty. They're really bad in terms of reliability/build quality.

You'll need someone to cut the cable and resolder it onto a new connector. Just send it in to Skullcandy unless you know someone that can do it cheap.

Yeah if you can't get warranty just chop off the connector and solder on a new one from Radio Shack. Easy job.

ive had this same problem numerous times. ive even cut up that same part. youre gonna need to de-solder it and solder it back on. ive tried to just connect the the wires together but that doesnt work.

it might be too late for you now but i do have a cheaper solution. when you get your new headphones, buy one of those headphones extentions from dollar store. that way when it breaks, its just a dollar to replace :thumbsup:

thanks for all your replies. i went ahead and filed RMA with skullcandy.
