    I lost count for how many times I had to perform quick fixies on plastic swivel parts...every single piece of plastic literary fell apart. And the most annoying detail, these sound as new after 5 yrs of daily use, battery stills in great shape. I guess I found motivation to do what should had been done long ago. Thank you

    My little brother got a hold of mine a few years back and he didn't understand the concept of "don't pull apart so far on the headphones when you're taking them off" and he ended up breaking them :^) after 4 years I finally have enough courage to replace them

    I dropped my headphones on the ground and broke the swivel. This video was the perfect savior for my wallet! 🎉🎉🎉
    For someome doing their first soldering, the hardest part was figuring out how to work the iron! 😂😂😂

    I bought a couple of Sony's the same as your video and both was broken not in shipping but" As Is" and a light bulb went off and a mighty voice came in my mind " Hey! You big dummy, check out Utube for some that been where a dummy never been before!" Duh, the next thought of course came through. All joking aside your video was informative AND I could tell,showed me something you did that was going to stop me from calling myself a big dummy. Thanks again, you just got yourself another subscriber. Cheers 🍻

    A colleague of mine filled (and soldered) the broken plastic swivel mechanism with a hot plastic stick and that really worked.

    Hey! First off thanks for posting the vid! I am having a small issue my left side was broken so I'm not sure if this affected anything, but when I finished soldering and had reassembled the headphones my play/ call function button no longer worked properly. Pressing it now skipped songs instead of pausing or playing. Also volume keys are also a mess. Volume up turns the volume down and volume down skips forward in a playlist. If there is any insight you can give me I'd appreciate it!
