Jbl roxy over ear headphones ref 430 need to install new cord. how do i open cans?

1.Take your headset to an electronics store. Buy two male and one female headphone jacks the same size as the jack on your headset. Purchase a suitable length of replacement headphone cable.

2.Cut your headphone cable a few inches away from the headset with a small knife. Strip ½-inch off the outer plastic coating of the headphone cable attached to the headset. Use wire strippers or a small knife. Two colored plastic coated wires (usually red and black) will be exposed. Both colored wires have thin wire braiding surrounding them. The braiding is used as the ground wire. Repeat the process for both ends of your replacement headphone cable.

3.Peel the wire braiding away from the two colored wires attached to your headset and then twist the two wire braidings with your fingers to form a single length of wire. You have three wires: two plastic coated colored wires and the twisted wire braiding. Repeat the process on each end of your replacement headphone cable. You need to do this three times in total: once on the cable attached to the headset and again on the each end of the replacement cable.

4.Strip ¼-inch of plastic coating off the two colored wires carefully with wire strippers or a small knife from the cable attached to the headset to expose the metal wire. Repeat the process on each end of the replacement headphone cable. As before, you need to do this three times in total.

5.Turn on your soldering iron and let it reach operating temperature: this will take a few minutes. Each wire needs to be coated in solder and you have nine wires in total: three attached to your headset and three at each end of your replacement cable. Place the hot soldering iron on each wire and introduce the solder. Let the solder melt to coat each wire. Once the solder melts remove the soldering iron and allow each wire to cool.

6.Remove the cover from your first male headphone jack (male headphone jacks have an external pin) and slide the cover (threaded end facing the end of the cable) over one end of the replacement headphone cable and slide it up a few inches so it doesn't fall off the cable.

7.Place the headphone jack pin in a small vise so it's held in place. Do not overtighten. Place the wire braiding on the end of your replacement headset cable on the central pin of the jack. It is longer than the other two pins and may be labeled "ground." Touch the wire braiding and pin with your soldering iron until the solder melts and then remove immediately. Place the red wire on the terminal labeled "+" and put the soldering iron on them. Let the solder on the wire melt then remove the soldering iron. Allow the wire and terminal to cool. Place the black wire on the terminal labeled "-" and repeat the process. Slide the headphone jack cover down the cable and screw onto the jack.

8.Remove the cover from your second male headphone jack and slide the cover (threaded end facing the end of the cable) over the opposite end of the replacement headphone cable and slide it up a few inches so it doesn't fall off the cable. Repeat soldering for the ground, positive and negative wires. Slide the headphone jack cover down the cable and screw onto the jack.

9.Remove the cover from your female headphone jack (a female jack has a hollow center, which the male jack fits in) and slide the cover (threaded end facing the end of the cable) over the end of the cable attached to your headset and slide it up a few inches so it doesn't fall off the cable.

10.Place the female headphone jack in a small vise so it's held in place. Do not overtighten. Place the wire braiding on the end of your replacement headset cable on the central pin of the jack. Repeat soldering steps as before for the ground, positive and negative wires and terminals. Slide the headphone jack cover down the cable and screw onto the jack.

11.Plug one end of the male headphone jack, attached to your replacement headphone cable, into the female jack attached to your headset cable. Plug the other end of your replacement cable into your audio device. You have a replacement headphone cable.

Hello.
Headphone speakers stop functioning properly when the wireconnections to the speaker are broken. This problem often develops when theheadphone cord gets jerked while being worn. The solder connection might alsodetach over time if it was not properly manufactured. The wire can bereconnected to the speaker with a soldering iron to repair the headphone. Beaware, though, that headphones are not designed to be user maintained in thisfashion. In some cases, it is difficult to get to the speaker due to the casingdesign.
Instructions and tools needed
Screwdriver or butter knife (depending on headphone design),Soldering iron, Electrical solder
1 Plug in the solderingiron. It takes a few minutes for it to get warm enough to be used.
2 Unscrew the screws holdingthe headphone casing over the speakers. This step applies only to models thatuse screws in the casing.
3 Insert the end of the butterknife into the seam on the headphone ear pieces. Pry the two halves of thecasing apart. This step is performed only on headphone models that do not usescrews in the casing.
4 Touch the tip of thesoldering iron to the electrical solder. A small drop should melt onto the tipof the iron.
5 Touch the tip of the soldering iron to the end of thedetached speaker wire inside the headphone speaker cavity. Try to get an evencoating of solder around the exposed metal end of the wire. The soldersolidifies on the wire once the soldering iron is removed.
6 Touch the end of the wire tothe solder on the metal tab attached to the speaker.
7 Touch the tip of the solderingiron to where the wire and tab connect. The heat of the soldering iron meltsthe solder on the wire and tab together. This repairs the broken connectionbetween the wire and speaker.
8 Replace the speaker casingonto the headphone. It should snap back into place for models without screws Thanks.
