Philips SHP895 Repair - RIP..

Image
This is a rather old headphones, it have more than 10 years of history and today, it came into my mailbox requesting to be refurbished. It's a open semi opened back headphones, the back gill is made from metal, some rust can be seen on it, I guess this is more of a budget headphones. The band made from plastic and there are some hairline cracks on it. This headphones sure does been through quite alot of stuffs. The owner claims that the drivers are not producing any more sounds and have been left aside for quite sometime. A simple continuity with a multi meter shows that the 3.5mm-2.5mm detachable cable still is good shape. There are some jiggling sounds when I am moving around with the headphones, which means there are something is not in the right place. This can be really bad. Time to open up the driver to get a quick look inside: Looks like a total disaster inside, the neodymium magnet fell off the driver unit and stick itself to the headphones back grill....
