Is the coiled cord user replaceable? My $100 Sennheiser headphones are dead because the non-replaceable cord failed.

On this pair its not replaceable. Head sets that have the cord that comes off have a large plastic end that connects like a cb mike. I have used the expensive head sets working at a rece track and I have to say these are very well made and I can not tell that this was a cheep pair. Hope that helps.

Moderate user here (about an hour of use in bus daily) . I bought one 11 months back and I found yesterday that cable has a 1cm tear near the left earpiece. Not sure it will be covered under the 2 year warranty.

Sorry, I don't have any answer for you. You need to try and locate a parts list or service manual for the headphones so that you can get the correct replacement part.

Same thing happened with ours, and the plastic started to crack and fall apart. We do not know of any replacements and ordered new headphones.

It's kind of stupid, but the only place I've found them is from the California Headphones Company website here http://www.californiaheadphones.com/silverado.html.I'm still trying to find an affordable replacement (the cord costs $20--that's outrageous!)

Dude, all headphone cables get twisted up like crazy. Bundling them after each use helps. I love these headphones. Researched the hell out of headphones before purchasing b/c my job entails me to virtually live in headphones. The long cord is a plus but, yeah, it gets tangled. If you don't need the length, try shortening it by overlapping and wrapping with a twisty.

I would give Bose a call. I did not experience anything like that. In fact, my cord gets snagged and fly out of the actual headphone all the time and I still don't have a problem like that.

I own a mobile DJ company and purchased this same items about three years ago, and the headset had broke recently. Since I had good luck with them, and they seemed to be of good quality, I purchased them again. I did not contact Sony to see if I could replace just the headset, but my guess would be that this would be just about as expensive as buying the entire item again. Don't know if this answered your question or not, but hope this helps.

yes, the thing is you have to send it back and then you will be out of your (broken) headphones for a week or more. And these break quick, they look water resistant, but they are NOT. Don't buy! Buy the Sennheiser/Adidas MX 680i Sports Earbuds ! a thousand times better!

I had them for few months, then something went loose in the right earpiece. Now I have crackling noises all the time.Oh, and I lost the music cable. I had to prepay for a new one (approximately 60 USD), then it took the full six months until I got a new one. And what is a headphone without music!?

I've read posts that there are third party sellers selling counterfeit Sennheiser products. Did you purchase yours directly from Amazon and not a third party? Just curious.

I am sorry to tell you this is a very bad product. That hapened to me too. Now I am using the headphone with a cord and they are very comfortable.

Unfortunately, I don't think you can fix it. It's a design flaw (a pretty bad one for this product). The audio quality is outstanding (better than the stupid Beats from Dr. Dre for sure..). What I did was to order a replacement (because it should be covered under warranty) and I was simply more careful: what actually breaks the plastic is grabbing the headphones from the ear pads when you take them off and on (despite that being the natural way of doing it) so every time I put them on and off I just expand them from the over head band, without putting strain on the thin plastic connectors that actually break. I hope this is useful. Unfortunately, I don't think you can fix it. It's a design flaw (a pretty bad one for this product).

I know I saw then listed as discontinued....perseverance in internet searching, Ebay may get you some where. But my daughter tells me that it is a regular audio jack on either end, so it may not have to be a Skullcandy item, you may want to try looking for another cord like that? Good luck, I'm sure I'll be looking for one for myself in the future!

I also would like to know, my headphone pad is completly shredding...funny, the ear pads have lasted forever and they are available everywhere but I can't find anyone for the headband pad.....

Detachable cables are preferable. If the cable is something that happens to break, you can replace it. A lot of people say that the cable is a weak point when it comes to headphones. Cables that aren't detachable are not easily replaced, so the typical person will have to lose a great pair of headphones because of the cable. With my experience of different headphones, detachable is much preferred. Hope that helps.
