repair Need help repairing my gaming headphones.

[razorr16]

Hey guys,

 

I have a HyperX Cloud Stinger gaming headset and the issue with it is, the audio is breaking a lot whenever i use the headphone. Its not just the audio but my mic. The wires are damaged due to me having a really bad habit of biting when i get nervous in the past and i don't really know how exactly to repair it. Sometimes it works correctly when I try to twist and straighten the wires.

I really cant buy another gaming headphone right now and I was hoping somebody could help me fix it. I've attached some pictures on exactly how the wires are damaged.

Besides from soldering new wires in, not really. You can try to wrap it tight with electrical tape and shrink wrap it and hope that all the leads connects albeit haphazardly, but thats a damage i would just try to fix by changing the wires entirely.

Okay then would removing the wire insulation completely and taping with insulation tape is worth a try? I mean i dont have anything to lose at this point.

Its worth a shot, bend the copper around to touch each other matching colored wire then tape it on and hope for the best.

Splicing 4 gauge aux wires is really really difficult and finicky, I would try to soldier a new one in if I were you.

I wouldnt remove all of it just clean the hole up and tape over. But if any of the inner cables insulation is damage it wont solve the problem.

If any of the inside cables or even the outer shielding cable is damage youll have to replace the cable.
It be easier to disassembleble to headphones and remove the damaged wire and just resolder a new wire to the drivers.
This guy does a similar thing instead of adding a jack port just run a new wire through the whole.
