Logitech Wireless Headset Repair

This is a video on how to fix the left ear phone from cutting in and out of sound. This is the logitech wireless headset. This video was done from my cell phone because I had people asking how I fixed mine.

Skill:
-Basic de-soldering and soldering
-Steady hands would be nice as everything is pretty small.
-Magnifying glass will also help

Tools:
-Small philips screw driver (+)
-Small precision flat head (-)
-Butter knife or pry tool
-Soldering Iron
-de-soldering iron (recommended)

Materials:
-Solder
-Donor set of earphones (ear bud style recommended)

So I'm not the greatest tutorial maker in the world, but I just wanted to put this video up for people that have the same problem as I did and want to fix it without paying for logitech to fix it or having to buy another. This is a great headset, and for the prices you can find them for now, I think they are definitely worth it. I got mine off of ebay for $49 shipped and it was refurbished so I received it in an RMA bag. Since logitech would not cover the sale (ebay) under any warranty, I couldnt have them fix it, so I figured out how to do it on my own. After some extensive searching for a disassembly, i found nothing. So I took things into my own hands, and figured it out. Thankfully I didnt break anything. I did accidentally drop my soldering iron on my head set for a second and it kind of melted one of the plastic pieces, but no major damage, plus its covered by the padding lol.

Awesome, man! I followed your video and instructions, I replaced the wires and now the headphones work perfectly, I can't believe how much better it sounds now that the left side is 100%. You're the man!

@hackerbane Thanks. A little boredom and a fed up attitude of some nice headphones not working like they should work is sometimes good lol! Glad you got yours going!

This was a very good, straight to the point tutorial. It would have been nice for you to show the soldering for people who are less skilled. Also when you disconnected the ribbon, it might be helpful if you add an annotation that describes what the tabs look like that you have to lift. It took me awhile to figure out just what was supposed to be lifted.

yea i still want to make a better quality video to show everything really up close without being blurry at all. Soon i will do it and i will desolder the old wires and put in some new ones to show the soldering and whatnot.

I was about to start doing this when i realized that i was using the headphones to listen to this video.

I just finished with your solution and it works! One thing, if you don't want to sacrifice headphone wires, I used some old CAT5 cable. Thanks a million for your technique!!!

@denraweb hey do you know how to fix it if the usb fell off? everything is intact just the usb port broke off cause it got stuck around my ankle and I pretty much yanked the headset out...I would appreciate it very much if you could help me...dont want to pay $40 for a new one.

I had the same problem and performed the repair and now the left speaker works fine. Except now the microphone doesn't, lol. I had a hard time getting the ribbon cable back in and I'm not sure it's in properly. Does the exposed copper part supposed to go all the way in? It only seems to go about 2/3 the way in the connector.

thanks for this video. it help me to fix my headset without completely breaking it by doing so ;)

Do It Work On Skullcandy Lowrider?

@khaemera The problem is that the wire may not APPEAR broken, but pinching sometimes breaks the actual wire inside the insulation, so you can't really tell. If the problem occurs again, then go ahead and replace the wires anyway.
