Thank you very much for this video. Sound cut out today from the left ear on my 9 year old HD212s that I use every day and I was just about to buy a replacement and trash these. Instead, I've now ordered some new pads and a new wire.
a relief...i have been looking for moderately priced headphones with detachable cable as i have been through 5 headphones in last two years. I was about to order some bose headphones mins from now and just came across this video. Thanks for the info mate you just saved me a fortune. I have found a place where i can still get one of these... i think i will buy some replacement pads and cable to last me in the future as well :)
Dude........ if I didnt saw your video, I would never know that cable right on the headphones can be unpluged, and I have have them for like 5-6 months, last night left headphone stopped wokring, and now i have figured out that I have a cable problem... you just saved me from jumping off the building :D cable can be replaced. THANK YOU!
Here is the funny part... I've had mine for about 2 years now and recently noticed right ear cup went out. I figured this is bad (thought it was the cup) Then, I was moving the end of the cable near the cup and it came out (I was surprised) Never knew the cable was removable. The problem was that the cable was bit loose, but I just pushed it in and it's all good now. I knew my HD598's cable is detachable, but not on HD212pro's. Nevertheless, they sound moderately good compared to HD598.
@xbsoft Exactly why I posted this. I figured if I went through this and almost tossed away a great pair of cans that only needed a little TLC, that there must be other people out there in the same situation. Although you didn't have to deal with buying a new cable I know how you feel about discovering that your beloved cans where in fact just fine.
Thanks a LOT for the links!

Thank you! I have the same model, but can I build the cable by myself?
I can't find that little connector for the earpads...

Hey, thanks for the guide and link to the parts. I'll try to get them, and restore my head-phones. I felt very sad when my cable died. You saved me.

@marcosmendez25 Sennheiser should come out with a HD212 Classic model. Same internals just a slight & modern revamp of the housing/exterior looks.
