Headphones only using right ear

[Fatelinha]

Hi guys! 

Yesterday my headphones stared acting weird and only playing in stereo some times. Today they just use the right side... It's the "bend the wire and it's fine" problem, so whenever I bend the wire in a right spot they play in stereo. Is there any fix to this problem?

If not can you recommend some good ~50€ gaming Headphones? Mic is not necessary but can be included if it doesn't cut on the sound quality to include it.

Cut the cord open and fix it and tape with black tape?

Idk the value of the euro, but if you can try to pick up some hyperX clouds. Fantastic headset.

Fix what? I don't know what will be inside it, and where to fix... Can you explain it any  better?

Ok, so where you have to twist it to get better audio. That's probably where the problem is.

 

If you cut open the cord there will be a couple of smaller cables. One is probably broken. Mend it together with some tape and the problem will probably be solved.

 

If it isn't solved then you were planning on buying another pair anyways

50 euro is around 55 american dollars.

 

Razer Krakens are fairly cheap ($50) and decent quality for the price.

The cable must be broken, meaning the contact is severed and works only when the two pieces are touching. If you know exactly where they are broke, you can try to cut the plastic around the cable and use glue to make sure the contact is always happening, then cover it with tape. In general however I wouldn't recommend buying very cheap headphones (IEMs are different), and be careful when purchasing "gaming" gear as you often pay more than you should for that sort of thing. I can however recommend the asus rog orion headset, it's built like a tank and sounds pretty well considering the price.

Razer, gross. But seriously, Razer Krakens have pretty bad build quality and are way too bassy, and the bass isn't the best either.

The wire inside is most likely frayed, if you have a warranty or return guarantee then claim it and get a new pair sent out, if not invest in some HyperX Cloud headphones
