Sony MDR 7506 lost sound in the left headphone?

[Squizzle]

It seems to have a problem with sound comming out of the left side, it works when I stretch out the cord towards the top of were it starts its crazy spiral spin that makes it tangle all the time. If anyone has these headphones maybe you could tell me how you dealt with it, other than getting new ones, they were 100$ crap i was thinkning of isng tape and forcing it to straighten it out it seems to get a signal, but im not even sure how it happen. Any thoughts?

Sounds like a loose connection. Do you have a warrenty on the headphones? I'd try to take them back to the store to get a return or a repair.

Why not just replace the cable, it's only a simple 2-conductor w/shield wire kind of cable...or see if you can isolate here on the cable is the problem (probably a broken lead) by playing some audio and then pinching/bending it inch-by inch while keeping the rest of it steady. That should pinpoint the spot.
If it's close to the either end...just cut off that section, solder the rest back.

If it's at the TRS end, and it's one of those molded kinds, just get one that opens up.
I mean...it's only a couple of wires and some soldering. Probably an easy fix.

New cord is what I gotta do

yeah thats what I decided. time to invest in a solder kit and do some work. Im pumped, i love when stuff breaks and I fix. makes for entertainment. I will be usign my headhone extension cable, which isnt all coiled up and will work just as good an not as annoying.
