broken headphone cable, need help identifying issue

[Daan101]

So I have a pair of HyperX cloud (1) headphones, but recently the left channel started falling out sometimes unless the cable was in a certain position, right was fine which I found weird because the cable comes in on the left.

So I opened them up thinking it was a loose contact, but all the contacts were good.

now for my question, do you have any idea what else could be wrong with the cable?

 

thanks in advance for any and all responses

Having the same issue except on the right side. I treat the cable very carefully so, it shouldn't be broken or anything.

Maybe it's a common issue with this headset?

ah yes, I don't treat it that carefully unfortunately, I travel semi often and ocasionaly yank it

have you taken them apart yet (screws are under the earcups)?

It's fairly new and, I don't know what is what in there so I'm afraid I'd break something inside.

if you take the interchangable earcups off, you will see 4 screws, simply remove them and you're inside.

As long as you don't yank the speaker really hard you will be fine.
