Sony Headphones Problem

Hi - my favorite Sony headphones have a small fray in the wire and aren't working out of the right earphone. I don't know exactly which model they are but I know they are the expensive athletic/running headphones with the ear wrap and white outside with orange logo.
I'm hoping I can send these back to get repaired since they are the best running headphones I have ever owned and don't want to have too find a new pair or go buy the same pair new since they were so expensive.
Can a SonyMod let me know the best course of action to take?
Thanks!!
-David

How do I hook up Sony Headphones Model MDR-RF985R to a Panasonic TV Model Nbr TC-L37C22?

We purchased these Sony headphones for my 86 year old uncle. He claims that the Audio output on his Panasonic TV is not compatible with the headphone cables. We are miles away and cannot physically help him, but we are trying to assist by telephone. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for the instructions. Apparently the instructions do not work with his TV because the audio ouput jack is a different type of connection on the Panasonic TC-L37C22. We solved the problem by having him plug the headphones into the audio output on his PVR instead of the TV.

Nokia 5310 Headphones problem...

I got this phone just yesterday and when I unwrapped the headphones from the plastic bag, I also unrolled the headphones and I noticed that the right ear wire is way longer than the left ear wire so it's rather uncomfortable when I put them on because it's a significant difference. I haven't found a way to adjust the size, is there any possible way? It's really bugging me to adjust how I move my head because of how the wires are.

hi there, no worries, yep they come like that for everyone. even my old nokia 6288 headphones had the same problem, i tried for hours to adjust the length but to no avail . generally yes Sony ones are better for music unless you are a real music buff and will go for sennheiser/bose. but those headphones are expensive and what is the point, you don't want headphones that are so rich in bass and crisp in sound quality that give you a headache . so yeh go for Sony ones, mid-range ones should be fine (don't buy the cheap ones). i have MDR-Q38 clip-on-the-ear sony headphones they have lasted an extremely long time...you should be able to find in-ear headphones at the same price.
p.p.s yep any headphones will work for the radio, any headphones have the wiring inside that is used for FM radio signal for the phone. the link you showed me is just fine, those headphones are great (as they have the neodymium magnet which is important for better sound quality)

New micro with the headphone problem fi

I just orded a new Zen micro off of ebay. How can i tell if it is a newer one with the headphone problem fixed? If does not come with the ac charger or the belt clip. Does that tell anything about the age. Any other way to see when my micro was manufactured? When did the headphone problem start getting fixed?

Im not sure that the creative people will honor my warranty, and I was wondering how much would it cost to have the jack problem fixed? It should be a recall, but I suppose that wont happen.

EAR BUD Headphone Problems .. the how to fix them thread!

Hi Guys,
Said I would start off this thread for all those with EAR BUD Headphone problems. Specifically:
- Those with ONE SIDE quieter than the other
- Those with ONE or BOTH sides completely gone.
This would apply to those who own Creative players with Ear Bub Phones supplied or the like.
I think I have a solution to those with "ONE SIDE quieter than the other". If you pull off the rubber gels from the phones you will see a MESH. You might notice an ear wax buildup on the outside of this mesh. Dont bother cleaning it yet. Now you may have to do something you wont like - Use a Jewelers Screwdriver OR some tool equally thin to POP OUT the mesh. Now turn the mesh around. You should now see the problem - HUGE WAX BUILDUP on the under side. NOW clean both sides if you wish, but you might be at a hiding for nothing - I challenge you to get the mesh back in. Not to worry - the phones and sound should now be back as it was in day one. Stick the GELS back on without the mesh. Also behind that mesh maybe a piece of foam. Up to you what you want to do with this ...
It seems this WAX buildup issue on the underside of the mesh in EAR BUDS is a common problem across all makes. I have a Creative, Seinheiser and Philips set - all with the same issue. I did the above on all - now all are back working fine.
Of course you may have to be on WAX lookout more frequently if you cannot get the MESH back in, which maybe the case most of the time. It would seem the very device - the mesh - that protects the buds from WAX buildup is causing a problem itself ..
WITH respect to issues with NO SOUND on either or both sides, this maybe a cracked wire, usually up around the bud end. One thing I have not figured out in most Ear Buds is how to open the casing - over to somebody else for this,
Hope this is helpful to others,
Cheers, Aidan ( Cork, Ireland )

That's a bit trickier. I think I'd select the text from the beginning of the frame wher the continuation starts and cut to the clipboard, then paste at the end of the text in the frame from where it should continue. That frame should now show an overset, and you should have a bunch of empty linked frames where the text was previously located.
Turn on show text threads and find the first out port in front of the now empty frame and click it, then click inside the same frame (or double click the outport should work too). This will break the thread at that frame, but leave the empties threaded together so you can pick up the overset and flow it back in from the other page.

Sony headphones or ipod???

im thinking in buy a sony headphones for about 40 dlls this model mdr-ex71 or 50´s version, but is there a big diferene between them or not??

Must admit, on getting my iPod the first thing I did was to hook up my Sennheiser MX400 earbud headphones. I've yet to find an affordable alternative that has as good a sound as these. I've had them for 2 1/2 years, not bad given all previous sets of in-ear headphones have lasted a max of 6 months a set!
Sony 'phones are always pretty good though. Often quite bass heavy which is good if you like that sort of thing!

Microphone no longer works on headphones, problem w/ phone not headphones

This is my dilemna: Something is wrong with my headphone jack on my iphone so that my headphones work to listen to music, but no longer to talk on the phone. In other words the microphone on the headphones doesnt work, so people cant hear me. And i know its a problem with the phone because i bought new headphones and people still cant hear me thru the built in headphone microphone. Has anyone else had this problem and if so can the jack be replaced? Im not due for an upgrade for quite awhile and would pay to get headphone jack on my iphone replaced.

Audio headphones problem

Good morning,
unfortunately I'm here to ask your help.
When I plug my headphones in the jack connection, I continue hearing the sound from speakers. If I go to settings, then audio I cannot see headphones listed in output.
This is strange because there's no red light in the jack port, when I plug the cable I can hear some "connection sound", but then no audio from headphones.
It's like the system does not recognize the headphones. Of course I tried with different headphones, the problem still remains.
My macbook pro is early 2008 and runs Lion.

I would not force the headphones into the ipod if there is difficulty doing so. If you read line number 5 in the link below then you can request replacement headphones if you find yours faulty.

Or take your nano to the local apple store and talk to someone at the genius bar if you have a local apple store.

Headphones problem with MacBook Pro?

I recently purchased some new headphones, but only 1 earpiece works on a mac. There's nothing wrong with the headphone because both the ear cups work on everything els. He headphones are super super loud ( louder then dr dre beats ) and have the same base.

you would usually get this problem if you have your headphones socket broken or you have not plugged it properly - all the way.
Have you tried other headphones on your Mac?

Same headphone problem with Zen Micro Pho

I had 2 Zen Micros before. They both had the headphone where you can't hear anything unless you move it in the right position. My second Micro took a while to break and I cashed in my rebate at Best Buy.
I got the new Micro Photo since they ran out of regular ones. Do you think I should get the rebate? Does the Micro Photo have headphone jack problems too?

Snoweagle wrote:
So far mine doesn't and i've not heard news that the ZMP is suffering the same headphone jack issue as the Micro.
Yep, there has been no known headphone jack problem involving the MicroPhoto on this forum, and this should be compared to new threads every week concerning the original Micro as well as the old 00-pages discussion thread. More people have supposedly bought the original and it has existed for a longer time, but the ZMP has been out for over 6 months in the US and fo quite a while in Europe, well beyond the time it takes for many Micro users to discover this problem (my first broke after two days...). Considering this, I'll presume it has been fixed with the ZMP.
