How do you fix earphones that one side is silent?

Asked by Wiki User

Your best chances of repair are if you contact Sony and ask them.

If This problem is only happening when you use the headphones on one device such as an iPod, the circuit in the device may be damaged. I won't get too involved into how to fix this, though.

But if Sony won't help, your warranty is out on them, your device you are using if not the problem, and you need them badly, I may have a fix:

Open up the earphone that is malfunctioning

check the solder connections that connect the wire to the speaker

if they connections are loose, you have two options:

buy new headphones

OR

If you can solder, Connect and solder the correct leads to the corresponding places.

If the solder connections are fine, check and see if the wire is frayed or damaged anywhere.

If it is, you have two options:

buy new headphones

OR

salvage an old headphone's speaker wire from somewhere else and try to remove the old wire and use the salvaged one to replace it. (this will require that you are quite good at soldering.).

If only a small part is damaged, try and use a smallpiece of the salvaged wire and splice it into the old wire. If the wire is very small, I recommend that you just buy a new pair of headphones.

if you can find out if the speaker is blown out or has ripped itself, you can try this trick I learned in MAKE magazine:

Get a bottle of rubber cement

very very very carefully apply a few thin layers of rubber cement to the ripped or torn area. You might wait for the glue to dry and then reapply. Make sure that if you do do this, you do not over do the rubber cement. Otherwise, the speaker will just sit there and be "frozen".

If you have access to an oscilloscope and know how to use one, you might try to probe around in the circuit and see if you can find interference anywhere that is causing the problem.

Find out the model name and number, then try googling the information. Just because they are plugged in, doesnt mean they should work. You need to get either the sound drivers or audio bus drivers for it. Just google it.

Can wireless headphones be used with a television that has no headphone jack?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

That depends on whether or not the TV has audio output connectors on it. They're usually what's called an 'RCA' connector. Right channel will be red, left channel is white and video will be yellow in color. All you have to do is verify the output connectors and maybe find adapters to fit the headphone transmitting unit.

How do you fix a mp3 player if it only plays in one ear and it's not the headphones?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If the problem is not in the headphones, it is almost certainly in the headphone jack. Unfortunately, the resolution requires a willingness to crack the case and solder the circuit boards inside. Remove the battery; pop the case -- usually it will be held together by little plastic tabs, though in some very rare cases, more expensive units in particular, which will have tiny little screws, usually 00 Philips. Inside will be one or two circuit boards, and the headphone jack will be attached to one of them. There will be three or four solder tabs sticking out of the plastic body of the headphone jack, and soldered to the circuit board; often these tabs are all that holds the jack in place, it will be otherwise floating in a notch in the circuit board. With a solder iron, carefully heat and reflow each of the tabs. Re-assemble.

What is origin for headphones?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The first truly successful headphones were made by Nathaniel Baldwin. Baldwin made the headphones by hand in his kitchen and later he sold them to the U.S navy. Sensitive headphones like those were soon being manufactured by Brandes in 1919 and were commonly used for early radio work. The headphones were made by moving iron drivers (either single ended or balanced armature). Old headphones like those had very poor comfort and the quality was crude. Today's headphones have come a long way since then and seem to keep improving.
