I need help fixing my headphones

[deadmeme_21]

The right speaker works fine, but the left one is "spotty".By that I mean if I tilt my head in a certain direction it works, but it's not the position of the wire because I tried moving the wire around, and nothing happened. How can I fix this? (turtle beach earforce recon 50)

It's likely the wiring on the inside. You'd need to take them apart and re-secure or re-solder the connections.

they're 40$ headphones they aren't exactly made to last.

best you can do is pull them apart and find where the connection is bad a solder some new connections or replace wires till it's fixed

don't see any screws, so I don't know how

I got these 2 years ago without a warranty

jeez then just toss them out you should be lucky they lasted that long. 

if you managed to keep them alive that long just buy a new pair , at least you know they'll last 2 years

Unfortunately, even if you do get them apart, there is no guarantee that they will go back together. Manufacturers don't exactly design them to be user serviceable.

 

That being said, you may be able to find a guide on the internet to fix them, but they are bound to break again, sooner than 2 years. Could be 1 year and 364 days, could be a week from now. The real solution - however suckish it may be - is to get another pair

Could possibly be a loose magnet. A poor wire connection usually will cause some sort of static. A magnet could be moving around as you tilt your head, causing a deterioration of sound volume. Good luck repairing them. I've tried several repairs on headphones/headsets, and most were not successful except for temporary (until I could replace them) use. A lower end pair are likely to be glued, not screwed. Good luck.
