so i bought a pair of sennheiser game ones a while back and theyve had this issue with the volume dial for over a year, where its all scratchy and cuts out when you turn the dial up or down. really annoying but once you turn it enough itll stick and if you dont move it then it works... until you bump it again. figured id send it in now for warranty stuff but now these EPOS people are in charge of a bunch of sennheiser stuff and they dont have the white version of my headphones, only the lame black ones. they're sending the differently colored cans as a replacement, would there be a way for me to put the working dial from the replacement into my old one, or swap all the internals into the white/red shell or something? 

topics i need help on:

Spoiler

 

 

my "oops i bought intel right before zen 3 releases" build

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 (placeholder)

GPU: Gigabyte 980ti Xtreme (also placeholder), deshroud w/ generic 1200rpm 120mm fans x2, stock bios 130% power, no voltage offset: +70 core +400 mem 

Memory: 2x16gb GSkill Trident Z RGB 3600C16, 14-15-30-288@1.45v

Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix X570-E Gaming

Cooler: Noctua NH-D15S w/ white chromax bling
OS Drive: Samsung PM981 1tb (OEM 970 Evo)

Storage Drive: XPG SX8200 Pro 2tb

Backup Storage: Seagate Barracuda Compute 4TB

PSU: Seasonic Prime Ultra Titanium 750W w/ black/white Cablemod extensions
Case: Fractal Design Meshify C Dark (to be replaced with a good case shortly)

basically everything was bought used off of reddit or here, only new component was the case. absolutely nutty deals for some of these parts, ill have to tally it all up once it's "done" :D

Swapping the internals might the only option you have left, but even that can be extremely risky. I wouldn't suggest it; either accept the colour or live with a faulty knob.

yeah i took a look at the inside, i'd have to re-solder half the connections which probably aint a good plan for audio stuff lol. i found a replacement on mercari for 50 bucks though so i'm happy :D
