Here my last outdoor headphone AKG K619 need to mod because cables continuously damaged by banding – It is really ridiculous thing, how weak cable is !
It was my second time to see damaged cable, and judged to it not be necessary fix again this. So I made it to different one.
Now I need soldering iron, soldering wire, shrinkable tube and boding material to fix connector. After prepared all items then I open left side of headphone – it was easy.
Then remove all damage part of cables with soldering iron, then put new part to make AKG K619 as detachable plug.
Finish well each parts to resit from outter shock with bonding materials, then make them together as like before. Ta-da !
Now my AKG K619 detachable plug as like K545. No need to worry about changing bad cable no more. I can buy almost all headphone cables from anywhere and it works perfectly even it has mic controller or not.
Recommend do this mod if you like make your headphone going better. It doesn’t make sound going worst, just make it more comfort.
and … RIP AKG.
