sipukim,

its non and so much existence angry at bose or their production as much equally letting people know that bose =/= the quality product they claim to be.

for example the model i had went for near $120 a few years ago all the same came with a very sparse cable like the 1 you lot mentioned that easily bankrupt over fourth dimension as well as a very fragile earcup back up and headband compared to other options available. compare that to the $160 or so pair of m50s i own now. the only somewhat breakable part is the yoke which holds the earcup and even that is thick enough to withstand some corruption. plus the speaker quality is much much ameliorate.

dont get me wrong bose Tin can do an okay task and make an okay product (like the system in my car) simply they are by no means worth the price they charge. i'd rather have some other brand that is more than worth the price.

equally far as what to practice:

since you said yous arent very technical...i judge asking you to test the connections is out of the motion picture. y'all could just assume it is the string and try replacing information technology. if its not the cord its not worth keeping the headphones anyways.

search online for headphone cords and option 1 upwards that is a replacement or a similar type. you could even take a cord off of a cheap headphone model and simply swap them out.

you will need a solder gun and solder. as long as you lot are careful its not terribly difficult. honestly if you can hotglue yous should be able to solder.

if its besides much for you...i'm sure a local audio shop, or other electronics repair store can practise it for y'all...merely for what they will charge you...it near probable isnt worthwhile. at most you should pay $20-25 since its a 10 minute chore.

Adept chance you broke the wire or pulled it out. I had a bose, aforementioned issue. Not worth buying a repair cable so i upgraded to a new brand. Bose is such crap, you live y'all learn.

Good chance you bankrupt the wire or pulled it out. I had a bose, same issue. Non worth buying a repair cablevision then i upgraded to a new make. Bose is such crap, y'all live y'all learn.

Hi. Cheers for responding.

Well, the wire isn't pulled out. Question is, Are all Bose headphones THAT crappy that information technology isn't worth trying to fix it? Which brand, make,.. headphone can supercede this one? Is there a style to post a picture hither so you know exactly what and which one I am talking virtually?

Thanks once again.

i had the cheaper not-dissonance cancelling model so i know what y'all mean by sparse wires. i used information technology every day during the calendar week and the wire connectedness was intermittant due to an internal wire break. the outter prophylactic sleeve on the wire was undamaged.

technically if this is the problem you lot could open up the headphones and solder the connection support but you lot're never going to have that picayune safety piece to fill the hole which means either y'all patch information technology upwardly somehow or the wire merely pulls off once again.

of course it could always be a bad speaker but due to the nature of the fragile wire this seems more likely. if it is a speaker and so its definitely not worth fixing unless you happen to have a spare on hand or tin can get one really cheap.

in monetary value... you could repair the headphones (if its a bad string or connection) for practically gratis provided you have a solder gun, solder and something to plug the hole. the "worth it" i was talking nearly was having to deal with the outcome again and again due to the same trouble. so yes, its my opinion non a budgetary matter. technically fixing it would exist more toll constructive simply i got fed upwardly with how cheap the product felt for the original cost paid (opinion).

at the time i thought bose was okay equipment but i learned later that in the grand scheme of things they arent. i also heard that bose tends to use inferior equipment and any inexpensive-outs they can while nevertheless charging an arm and a leg for the products they sell. which does make sense in hindsight. i'm not proverb the products they offer practice non work, only that they are non worth the price at all (opinion).

if you lot require racket cancellation headphones then i cannot actually be of help since i exercise not use a pair myself. however, if the passive noise dampening effect of over-the-ear headphones is sufficient plenty then i can make a recommendation, or at to the lowest degree offer up the product i am now using.

i'm currently using an audiotechnica ath-m50s. the due south model denotes straight cord, the version without the s suffix denotes a coiled cord. its a studio monitor headphone which has been called one of the best headphones nether $300 and is built pretty hardy. the cords are 3-4x the thickness of bose products. the only fault is that you may have to replace the earpads depending on how frequently you utilize it. this is due to the effect sweat & grime from your head has on constructed leather. definitely not a problem though considering the very reasonable price and slap-up audio.

if that isnt your thing i've heard sennheiser offers some good models.

Sennheiser, AKG, Grado (not sure if they brand racket cancelling), audio technica equally mentioned, all good options. Bose are no better than those 'Beats' headphones that Monster Cablevision is trying to peddle. That isn't to say that they are bad headphones, just bad for the price.

The fashion I see information technology you lot take 2 options. First choice is to become your ready re-cabled. Either your left or your right connectedness is broken somewhere. Try your local audio shop (think stage, lighting, not musicians), or a auto audio place even. I can't come across it taking more than an 60 minutes to take new cable done. Your 2nd option is to get to Head-Fi.org and offset doing some inquiry into your next set of headphones. Keep in listen that some enthusiasts have their headphones re-cabled regardless, so consider the cost of that if you practise make up one's mind to become with a different set of headphones.

Thanks again for the informative replies. It's well appreciated.

I wonder why people here seem to exist very upset on Bose headphones. I had and have Sennheiser, 1 broke easily and the other is yet going. The Bose that I am talking about is the most comfortable, foldable and great racket cancelation.

I am not thaaat mechanical every bit far as owning a soldering tool, so I don't know what to exercise. I wonder if anyone here would accept an offer for me to send it to him/her and gear up information technology for me for a pay, or if one is willing to buy information technology off for some pay. To me it looks to be able to become fixed/repaired, so I wouldn't want it to go to waste i way or another.

Thanks for your friendly back up and help.

sipukim,

its not so much being angry at bose or their product as much as letting people know that bose =/= the quality product they merits to be.

for example the model i had went for nearly $120 a few years ago notwithstanding came with a very sparse cable like the one you mentioned that hands broke over fourth dimension every bit well equally a very frail earcup back up and headband compared to other options available. compare that to the $160 or then pair of m50s i own now. the but somewhat breakable part is the yoke which holds the earcup and fifty-fifty that is thick enough to withstand some abuse. plus the speaker quality is much much better.

dont go me wrong bose CAN do an okay task and make an okay production (similar the system in my auto) but they are by no means worth the cost they charge. i'd rather have another brand that is more worth the price.

as far as what to do:

since you said you arent very technical...i guess request you to exam the connections is out of the film. y'all could just presume it is the cord and try replacing information technology. if its not the string its not worth keeping the headphones anyways.

search online for headphone cords and choice i upward that is a replacement or a similar blazon. yous could even accept a string off of a cheap headphone model and simply swap them out.

you will demand a solder gun and solder. as long as yous are careful its not terribly hard. honestly if you can hotglue you should exist able to solder.

if its too much for y'all...i'm sure a local audio store, or other electronics repair shop can practise it for you...just for what they will accuse you...it most likely isnt worthwhile. at well-nigh yous should pay $20-25 since its a 10 infinitesimal job.

Cheers for your response. I might consider rewiring it.
Sennheiser, AKG, Grado (not sure if they make noise cancelling), sound technica equally mentioned, all proficient options. Bose are no better than those 'Beats' headphones that Monster Cablevision is trying to peddle. That isn't to say that they are bad headphones, merely bad for the price.

The way I run across it you take two options. Kickoff pick is to get your set re-cabled. Either your left or your right connection is broken somewhere. Try your local sound store (think stage, lighting, non musicians), or a automobile audio identify even. I can't see it taking more than an hr to have new cable washed. Your second pick is to go to Head-Fi.org and start doing some enquiry into your side by side set of headphones. Keep in mind that some enthusiasts have their headphones re-cabled regardless, so consider the price of that if you do decide to go with a unlike set of headphones.

http://www.uklv.info/1000.gif you could but assume it is the string and try replacing it. if its non the cord its non worth keeping the headphones anyways.

I know, but hanging the inside of cord is a big consequence. This headphone has a very tine cord coming out of 1 side which is female, it come with a both ended male cord to connect it to the player. I would give it way every bit is but if u can gear up information technology I nonetheless believe its worth some $$. When it works it works nifty. Very good audio and bass, AND it's noise cancellation, likewise very comfy on the ear. It has a special adept foam, soft, sort of like retentiveness sponge.

At least some Bose headphones use ribbon non stranded wire and then can interruption later on repeated stress. Y'all can't really solder or work with a flat aluminum foil like wire.
