DIY Tuesday: Fixing your old headphones
I, personally, have gone through far too many pairs of headphones to even think about… I don’t want to know. They’re expensive, the good ones at least, and I will wear them until the day that they make me so angry that I toss them out the darn window.
I want to help! Don’t throw away those great headphones just because one of them doesn’t work any more — or hey, neither of them work any more. Or you spend half of your bus ride trying to sit perfectly still because you know if you move you’ll lose the sound in one of your headphones. So very frustrating.
For about 5 bucks, do-it-yourselfer Chris Metcalf photo-documented how he replaced a faulty connector on his best earbuds with a big shiny new one from Radio Shack.
Check it out before you add those beautiful, expensive headphones to the nearest landfill.
