Getting ATH-AD900 Repaired

Postby Hikari0307 » Sun Jul 29, 2012 9:29 pm

Bought an AD900 from headphonic a while ago and has been very happy with them.
Just now though in a hurry I left it on my bed and went out, when I came back I forgot about it and kinda jumped onto my bed to lie down and a gruelling snap sound accompanied it. T_T The plug at the end of my AD900's cable is kinda bended about 45 degrees, simply speaking, it's broke. Now I'm a noob when it comes to headphones especially on repairing it and don't have the skills or solder etc. to do it.

Was just wondering if anybody know anywhere in Brisbane that I can go to in order to get some help on repairing it and maybe look for parts or if headphonic have some replacement parts I can buy to start me up on my quest or even if it's worth it to get to get it repaired cost wise. I just feel overwhelmed >_<
Any help anybody can give me is greatly appreciated.
Meanwhile I'm back with my old HD-25 >_<

I think Brisbane Sound Group could do that for cheap. That's where I got my plug of my Audio Technicas fixed. Mind you, if you want a 3.5mm that will perfectly fit with a 6.3mm adapter, they say that they have to order to plug in from Audio Technica.

Repair by the place mentioned above^ = $50 for the repair +$20/25 for the part from Audiotechnica. (at least it was that last time i had it done there)
If you want to save money - buy a replacement headphone jack from jaycar and do the recable yourself with a soldering iron (or by a helpful friend) :cool:
I had my AD-900's repaired twice by the guys at that place after that cost, now I just have a good friend do the re-cable for me instead.
