Well it all started with my broken head phones. I had some in ear buds with a broken connector, and some big DJ style SKullcandy headphones that had the left ear phone completely broken off and the wires were broken so only the left one worked. I knew me and Mike G. could make some magic happen in the DuxTech shop.

What we had to do for the buds with the broken connector was to cut off the connector, and then cut off a connector from a set of broken headphones from another class. We exposed the wires, lighly sanded off the insulation, and then satered the wires. we tested them out and they worked fine. Then we covered up the exposed wires with electrical tape. They may not look pretty but they work as good as new now.

Next up was our bigger project, the DJ headphones. We had two problems to solve with these, connecting the wires, and reattaching the left earpeice. We had to disassemble the middle section of the headphones to expose the wires. We routed the wires so they were outside instead of inside the middle section so that they'd be easier to work with and also give us more wire. Then we sanded and satered them together. We gave a little sound test and they worked good. At this point I had to leave and Farva took over the headphones. He used JB weld to connect the earpeice and then electrical tape to secure the wires. We let them dry for a class and now the finished product works great.
