i had this problem yesterday logitech removed the sticker and made it 3 screws now you gotta pull carefully up (with a bit of force) because the inner speaker cable was sevearly shortened
I have an older model with the sticker hidden screw and even that felt anti-consumer repair as heck, your newer model sounds worse again, I paid $180 AUD for my headset, I damn well want to be able to repair it for free when it is out of warranty. BTW the cable for the older model is pseudo braided internally and it frays very easily, that's why I'm even here, was trying to replace the cable as a whole 15cm of the meter was damaged from just being rubbed or pressed against things
@@Rexhunterj not really its more pro consumer since the screws arnt hidden...i mean its annoying that the cable is shortened but its probably to cut cost but its now easier to open
Thanks for this, managed to get it fixed without breaking anything. The clips are really annoying to get out. I got it by pushing a flat screwdriver between the clip (the taller part) and the blocker piece (the lower part) once they separated you just push them a little and then you can pull it apart. CAREFUL though, the cable for the speaker is REALLY short.
And i just fixed the right ear cup wire, it got cut over time with the little rotation movement it can do on itself. The other day i also replaced the full jack wire (8$ on aliexpress) now i still have to fix the mic, i will try tomorrow but i guess again it's broken wire (i hope not inside the caoutchouc of the mic arm). There are many point of failure in this headset, as if logitech didn't want you to use it for more than 2 years before having to buy a new one.
thanks legend I drilled a small hole into the plastic above the screw so I can tighten it without dismantling it again, probably not recommended if yours is still in warranty.
I accidentally broke two of the upper orange and red cable, what would you suggest to do? Maybe welding them back on? UPDATE: I just did the reparing to the cables by welding, and it worked well, I'll let you know if it will last long
If you have the right tools and experience then that would be an option you could try yes. Otherwise you risk doing more damage than good I'm afraid. On the other hand, warranty is already voided, headset is broken, if you cant get help but do have the tools, why not give it a try :-) and don't forget, google is your friend. Work safe!
Unfortunately, I couldn't remove the 4 clips, no matter how much force I applied. So I managed to tighten the screw connected to the nut using pliers. Now it works much better.
This video came perfect. Well explained and not too long! Repaired my loose mic quickly! If it wasn’t for you, my headset would be destroyed already, didn’t see nor even noticed that damn black sticker.. I would have forced it open if was for me.. 😂😂😅😅 thank you! ❤
You're welcome :-) I'm glad the video helped you fix it! Yeah that black sticker is evil, didn't notice it myself at first too lol Don't forget that drop of glue or loctite or the mic will probably be hanging loose again soon ;-) Mine is still fixed with it :D
Good one, thanks! (If you plan on doing more of these, please invest in proper lighting, check streaming equipment, so we can benefit even better from your knowledge! (y) )
Yw and thanks for the advice :-) Lighting was insufficient indeed, but still not bad for my first "how to" video with the camera mounted to a cat scratching pole :P If there will be a next video I'll certainly light the place much more!
Those clips are very stiff and can indeed break when bent too much.... You'll have to put a little pressure on one half of the cup in the direction of opening it, and at the same time very carefully trying to unlock the clips one by one, without letting them lock back. As you've seen it's possible, but i never said it was easy ;-) I hope you can still fix it!
i have a problem, in 3:05 i did the same clips thing, all 4 of them but the other piece didn't came off, only one clip did a click (bottom right one) and the others are out but the whole piece is still in place and i can't take it out, is there something else i have to know about the clips or any details about them? i saw a comment talking about a bottom and a top part of the clip and a top one but idk if the clip's important part is just the "top part" (the one that looks like a hook) and the "bottom part" is a part of the plastic or the "top" and "bottom" parts are like a separated clip as a whole, my point is i dont want to break the clips if the "bottom part" is a part of the plastic in resume 5:25 didn't happen at all
What can happen is that a previously "unclipped" clip locks back again when working on the next clip. Maybe it can help to pry something between the 2 parts after loosening a clip so it cant lock back. Every clip can only be pushed in one direction to unhook, and not too much or it could break.... Hope you'll succeed!
Man I love these HP's but the four pins that are holding the speakers are a bitch to unpin ... I broke all four. No matter, the screws are holding it all together nicely. Mike is tight (maybe a little too tight). All works great. Also: FIRST!!!
SECOND!! :p Yeah those pins can break pretty fast when applying too much force on them. Lucky indeed that the screws keep the whole thing together. I'm happy you fixed the problem as well :-) My mic arm was loose again the same day after making this video, so as mentioned in the subtitles and video description i can advise to use a very tiny drop of loctite (or superglue could work too i guess) on the nut/bolt part. It hasn't loosened again until now.
I think this may void my warranty, I've had them for less than 3 months and today I noticed that the arm is completely loose without any resistance, maybe I'll go with the piece of paper solution
Only 3 months and already completely loose... I'd expect they would fix it in new batches. Opening a device in warranty is always risky. Probably best to go with the piece of paper solution for now indeed. If something else would break you can still use the warranty :-)
I don't have that information sorry... Isn't it possible to use a multi-meter to measure what cable goes where? Should be possible to find it out that way unless the cable is broken very near the jack plug. The polarities are also indicated on the circuit board in the ear piece (See 2:36 in the video) Also check this website for information about jack plugs: mynewmicrophone.com/how-do-headphone-jacks-and-plugs-work-wiring-diagrams/ Hope this helps replacing the cable :-)
Probably the easiest fix, is once you remove the sticker. Is to then put that sticker where you had the white paper so it stiffens the arm... reassemble and enjoy.
Yo, the mic problem is solved, but now I can't hear the sound in the left ear, how do you close the left case ? I think you need to place the cables in a certain way to make them work again.
@@asrielobro0001 I'd check if the cables from the left speaker to the pcb didnt get damaged or loose from the solder points. Multimeter is your friend :-) Sounds like cable or connection damage i'm afraid. Afaik the only things you need to allign is the clips you had to push aside to detach the speaker part from the ear cup, but the connection is just the 2 cables. It has been 2 years since i had it opened so srry if i'm saying something wrong. Hope you can get it fixed!
@@THEMR2RACER ah I think I got it, I entirely removed the casing where you need to screw the arm, I think it cut the cables, sad, I think I'll buy a new headset mic with no arm so I don't need to open a headset ever again 💀
@@asrielobro0001 Ahh that's bad, but not unfixable if you can resolder the cables, possibly with new ones. If logitech secured the mic bolt to the nut in the first place this all wouldn't be necessary... Hope you can still fix it!
@@THEMR2RACER nah I ordered a 100€ headset, with better quality, and with an integrated mic with no arm this time, still an upgrade so idm. Thanks for your video tho !
Can't say for sure, haven't had to do that on this headset (yet :P ) you can always try if its already broken (unless it's still in warranty then I'd try to arrange for a replacement)
That's a new record :p I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same problem: Loose mic arm screw. In this case you'd better return it for a new one, otherwise you'll void the brand new products warranty.
@@lazartheodor10 That will probably happen since the nut is loose. The only way to fix it is as shown in the video but that comes with the risk of damaging other things like the very thin cables... Maybe if you try to jam an extra layer of paper between the hinge it will hold it better
Sounds like a broken mic cable to me. Haven't researched that problem my self, but with a multimeter you should be able to test it (or just leave it plugged in and bend the cable a different point to see when the mic cuts off). at 7:16 you can see the picture of where the mic cable comes out of the mic arm into the ear cup. Mostly these kind of loose contact occur in the area where the cable moves the most when adjusting the mic arm angle, which is right in that area. IF the problem is a loos contact / broken mic cable then replacing it as much as possible would be the best solution, but can be tricky (don't know how the mic arm opens up for example, and the inner cables can be very thin) Or maybe the problem comes from the part where the mic cuts off by putting the mic arm in the up/closed position. Breaking it more then it is now is always a possibility when trying to repair such things, so be careful and good luck :-)
@@charlesv7381 You can always stuff a piece of paper between the cup and the mic arm like at the start of the video ;-) (was my "fix" before i fixed it permanently) But a drop of loctite won't damage it as long as you make sure its just a tiny drop that only flows between the bolt and the nut. At 7:17 you see the picture with the spot that needs to be locked in place. First use the screwdriver to adjust how tide you want the mic arm, then use the drop of loctite to lock the bolt and nut together. The tricky part is disassembling again without damaging anything. Hope you can fix it!
i tried to fix the headphones but i got scared of pushing the things to get to the mic, i guess i will just bring the headphones to someone who can fix them for me
I can be very tricky to loosen them indeed (also not to break them) You have to push them aside a little bit while pushing them in. Pay attention to how you hold the ear cup, you can easily hold the part you are trying to push back. Also it can happen that a previously loosened clip will pop back when pushing the next one in. If its possible you could wedge something like folded paper or something between the casing after loosening one of the clips. If you succeed, please be careful with the internal cables as they are very fragile. I hope this helps. Good luck!
