Sony MDR-XB650BT Headphones Tear Down and Repair/Replacement

[@nollie360]

seems like the same part breaks down for everybody, for me too

[@TheAmores2010]

Jeah its kinda scummy. Always the same spot and it not only needs repair, but replacement too. not something like resoldering a loose wire. it just becomes completely unusable. Had some MDR 770s and they broke down like this twice before i decided to switch to another company.

[@dontmindmeidiot226]

yes mine are broke at the same place

[@macho809]

Just fixed my headphones - would have ever been able to do this without your tutorial.. went out and bought myself a soldering iron just for this... now I feel like I need to tear down every electronic to solder the heck out of it lol

[@jontriestofixthings3718]

I'm happy my video helped! And I'm glad you like soldering :)

[@erikbriela3777]

Haha.. I'm so desperate to fix my headphones. They are the same, and have the same issue, mine is a MDR-XB650BT. But I don't have these supplies, plus I am really young. I don't know if my dad could fix these, these are my second pair and my last one had the same issue. I really need to try to fix them, I use them really often.

[@benluu1007]

Oh my god my headphone have just broke down like 1 day ago and I saw your video. Thanks a lot !

[@jontriestofixthings3718]

I'm glad to be of help!

[@calebtomhave4987]

Had almost the exact same break shown here on my pair. I was really mad and thought I would have to buy a new pair, glad I stumbled upon this video. Thanks for the help!

Thank you! I just finished fixing my MDR-XB950B1 with this videos help! Slightly different but almost identical, first piece of kit I’ve ever fixed and soldiered myself!

[@jontriestofixthings3718]

Congrats! I'm happy my video was helpful :) And it certainly feels really great to accomplish something like this! Saves money and is really nifty ;)

[@shenjoys7754]

hi, i faced the same problem of MDR-C+XB950B1. could you tell me when could i buy the component?

[@sudipmaitra1]

I followed nothing of this complicated method. I simply took some Araldite Standard Epoxy Adhesive , mixed the resin and hardener, applied it on the joints and left it for 24 hrs. It’s been 3 years and it looks as if it’s stuck forever. Of course, as it’s mentioned here, the swivel doesn’t work but the headphone works better than than new. No more worries about the fragile hinges.

[@new-knowledge8040]

I repaired the break in the plastic on my headphones with contact cement. That was about 5 years ago. Still holding on strong.

[@josephmaurer7067]

Watched this video to replace the left hanger on my headphones. I had a bad feeling about this when I disconnected the wires with the sodering iron. When I tried to resoder them back, I realized you make that look way easier then it actually is. They won't work anymore. I think I'm screwed now

[@MrKenStein]

Thanks for this well made, well shot step by step. Repair a success. Found a missing cable cover I forgot to put back on, but said screw it as it was all back together and working.

[@nTo-vlog]

Thanks for this tutorial video. Which is concise. I fixed mine thanks to your guide. Similar like other person, I also bought soldering iron and perform soldering for the first time again after decades. Glad that it works!

I've had my sony headphones mdr xb650bt for 5 years and the only thing that broke is the earpads on both sides. I need to replace them and I won't be able to wait much longer and also I'm saving my money for school. My swivels never broke after 5 years. I'm not sure if I noticed something going on with the battery, but I'll be watching that out since batterie also have a limited life span. So far, I never had any issues with them.

Is the black cable physically damaged at the break? If so, the repair will be quite complex :( If theres no damage to the cable, it may be a bad speaker or loose connection. Either way, soldering will be required to fix it.

[@baronvonvakeman6947]

great vid ...i've had to repair 3 of the hangers on our 650's now, they're just not strong enough due to being hollow (suspect the metallic paint is also weakening them over time) also spares are becoming harder to source (here in the UK at least) ...as a work around i've used a faulty MDR XB550's (wired) hangers & swivels, they need very slight modifying (you need to dremmel/ drill a hole in the hanger) but 550's are much much cheaper (i paid £2.50 for a faulty pair) but also much stronger (your wire passes straight down through the swivel & hanger into the housing (so a small/ 1cm section of wire is visible -like a traditional pair of headphones)
