Sony MDR-XB950B1/MDR-XB950BT Broken Right Swivel Repair Walkthrough

[@timtinsley1800]

Just repaired mine thanks to your video….thank you so much for being clear and concise for an old man like me 😂

[@Albert_XXI]

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

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! 😂😂😂

[@crazysico1216]

Thank you for the help man I soldered for the first time and everything doing this and Im so happy that they're fixed and working great !

[@jontriestofixthings3718]

That's great! Soldering can be overwhelming at first but it's a great skill to pick up! I'm very glad you were able to fix your headphones!

[@tonystark6306]

About to give soldering a god for the first time on mine. Looking forward to getting mine fixed. Pray for me y'all. Lol

So over 5000 people had these headphones broken..it is surely design defect. @SONY Hello!!!!

[@Alan-zh7nd]

They build them to break so you'll buy new ones

[@dontjustexist9859]

Thanks for this post. I have no experience with anything like this. I was able to follow along and fix my headset. THANK YOU saved me a bit of money!

[@willie9537]

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 🍻

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

Hello, thanks for the video, but the link for swivel part is not working yet 😞. Does anyone know where to buy it in the Europe (EU), please?

[@spacewalker5671]

So…. I ommm, may or may not have bought 5 other pairs not knowing that you could buy parts so…. Yeah…$769 down the drain. But hey their all fixed now! ❤love the video man! ❤ just wish I knew about it sooner 😅

[@JULIOMARQUEZTOM.]

One question, what is the name of the gun you use to put the cables back together and where can I get it?

[@flesh_2561]

Late but it's a soldering iron

[@aldon78]

[@BenjaminRichardsMasterhand]

Just fixed my headphones after 6+ years of them being broken. Now i just need to baby them 😂

[@fitosoft31]

Hi Jon great job, can you help me to find replaces please? The ebay link doesnt works now. Thankyou.

[@alexspata]

A colleague of mine filled (and soldered) the broken plastic swivel mechanism with a hot plastic stick and that really worked. I still use these, though they are annoying

[@YcecOdilup83]

I’m trying to fix my son’s and have the part. I am trying to follow your steps; however, I am wondering how do I put back the cables? What is the silver thing you use to make them stay in place?

[@Claxrud]

solder

[@killer_x_treme]

Where did you get the raplacement part from?

[@emachineseventyseven7164]

Ebay sales them i just got one.

[@ljleon-nw5uu]

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!

[@francotuggs6759]

Excellent job 👏

[@m.x2100]

J'e ou le exacte même problème ! Merci énormément ! Do you know the name of the replacement part and a please to recommend to buy? Great thanks to you and bad quality Sony or engineering teem.

So do you need new parts for this

[@jontriestofixthings3718]

Yes, you will need a new swivel. You can find these fairly cheap on ebay (less than $15) Thanks for asking!
