Consumer Electronics Getting headphones fixed

[treefingers]

I bought a pair of headphones a couple of years ago but the sound has stopped working out of the right side.

I'm not sure if it's a problem with the cable or the actual speakers, but has anyone know where I can take them to get them fixed? It could be just a really minor issue it's just that I have no idea how to solder wires together (and don't really plan on learning either).

Cheers

Just buy new headphones? They've had a good life.

Yeah they only lasted less than 18 months though, they've been sitting around for about a year.

They cost about $200 so if I can get them fixed for about 50 I'd be doing alright

No place like a Tandy near you? I took my busted speaker to a PC shop and they redid the wiring and fixed it maybe they are your best bet?

I take it the manufacturer warranty has run out?

If they failed within the warranty period I'd start off with an email to the distributor/manufacturer. Check with Consumer Affairs Victoria regarding warranty, I believe that products are still covered beyond the stated warranty. Some sort of statutory warranty thing.

You could do what I did once, I bought an expensive pair of earphones that I blew up, I went and bought them again, put the old ones in the new packet and took them back for a refund.
