[tlug] Headphone repair

[Andreas Kieckens <akieckens@example.com>]

Hi all

Not really a Linux thing but since this is one of the best collections 
of tech savvy people in Tokyo, I thought I might find some help here. My 
cherished pair of headphones has recently died on me. This one if you're 
interested. http://www.amazon.co.jp/オーディオテクニカ-ATH-CKS90NC-

It's the usual problem everyone has experienced. They go mute, you 
fiddle around with the wire and some times you hear something... often 
in only 1 ear. Does anybody know where in Tokyo I could get these 
repaired for a reasonable price?

I thought about cutting the short and soldering it back on myself but 
unfortunately, it's where the wire meets the noise cancelling controls 
in the middle of the cable. If anybody knows of a good tutorial for 
replacing the wire near the NC controls (as opposed to replacing the 
plugin jack), I could take on the quest of fixing them myself. I've 
never soldered anything before but there's a first time for everything.

Thanks
