Anyone ever do this?
I have bose headphones that are obviously way too expensive and from what i hear all tend to break around the 1.5-2 year age... go bose! they're awesome though, and al lthats broken is the wires near jack... even with good care, time in the pocket is time being smushed the wrong way apparently. The left one has been going for weeks and finally is totally dead, unless heald in the exact right spot, and now the right is being finnicky.
So I'm going to radioshack and buying a new 3.5mm jack... not really sure what I'm doin, but I'm tech savvy enough to give it a shot. any tips/ things I should know? would you use solder? - most have screws from what I see, so it seems un necessary - and I'm a horrible soldererer.
