You just bought a nice, shiny new pair of earphones. You rush home to find how nice the sound quality is, and how good the bass is. This happiness goes on for a few months until the heartbreaking moment happens. Your listening to your favorite song when suddenly you hear a crackle, and suddenly, you cant hear any sound from your headphones. Your shiny 50$ headphones just turned to a very inefficent paperweight.
Does this sound familiar? It should, as a recent study proved that 9 out of 10 people suffer from their earphones going silent. No longer will you have to live through the silent, dark, cold nights. If you follow my instructions wisly, you can overcome this great struggle and fix those headphones.
Follow me brothers, and join the revolution!
Fixing headphones is pretty cheap. You can do this repair for less than 2$, assuming you have solder on hand.
