Definitely worth it. The skill set of soldering enables you to repair even create things rather than always spending money to buy new stuff.

Finally someone who made a video on turtle beach headphones, thank you mate.

my left ear enjoyed this video o_o

Thank you so much for a great video. You saved me a lot of money in the process. Repair for less than a fiver versus new headset for 50. Made my gamer son very happy .

Great video. For anyone wanting to do this without a soldering iron there are jacks with screws that don't require soldering, you simply screw the cables in place, they cost a bit more though.

bro this video is perfect, i legit forgot my green turtle beach headphones were on and i was gonna go do the laundry and i got up and bent my audio jack and couldnt hear out the right ear, legit same origin story as u lmao. this vid helped alot thank you so much

Finally, someone answered my questions. Thank you so much. I taught myself about these jacks because I needed them to get my job done at one point... however, I had no idea WHY I had to use them with specificity. Now I know.

Vince, your a legend! I was struggling to work out what went where. I just wanted to say, on the pair i've just fixed, the green and red twisted pair surrounded the white wire so I needed to separate them before soldering on the new jack. Top man!

I never knew the white wire was a cable, i thought it was plastic to hold the red/green wires that wrap on it. Thank you for giving me a bit of knowledge for soldering my headphones.

Pretty sure this is why high-end headphones don't have a cord permanently soldered to the headset. If the cord breaks, you just get another one.

Top video, was just about to bin my headset and this popped up on a google search. I couldn't work out why I couldn't ring the wires to the plug until I watched your vid all the way through. Really helpful, many thanks!

Although you said you were doing the soldering for the first time. I watched the whole video with your beautiful English accent and wonderful video that covered everything. You are a great instructor and teacher. Thank you for a job well-done. I liked your video. You are a PRO.

My son is on his 3rd turtle beach headset now, the previous two have got the same bent jack that you mentioned where he's just yanked it out carelessly. Hoping he's finally learnt a lesson now but I'm going to have a crack at repairing the previous two, thanks for the upload.

Great tutorial. I've ordered a four pole jack, but I think I'm going to splice in a new section of wire with a new jack on the end after watching this.

Nearly pulled my hair out trying to solder those tiny wires... A few tips... Get those reverse tweezers clamps if you can... This was super annoying to do without wire shrink wrap so get some (heat shrink tubing)... Make sure to thread all parts you need on the wires before you solder them (shrink wrap, 3.5mm housing, and do it in the right order, DOH!)... Plan it out and have patience. I re-soldered them like 5 times. 🤦‍♀️🤣 I might have PTSD from that

bro the knowledge and experience is better than just buying.

Hey Vince, I was able to repair two headsets so far, one Turtle Beach and one After Glow for my two nephews. What I did was go to the Dollar Tree store in the US and buy the $1 earbuds that have the microphone. It's a quick way to access a cable plug. On the Turtle B. one I just replaced the plug to volume section. On the After G. I replaced all wires. The wires are not as sturdy obviously but it get's them going. There are only 4 wires inside the earbuds but the extra wire on the gaming headphones was a ground.

your 4 pole headset explanation was accurate, even though you said you are not sure.. This is a real channel no fancy haircut and green screen and american accent. This is a working man's and PC user and Gamer video and a diy enthusiasts video. Well explained as a normal personn instead of pretending to be some polished cnn type channel with greenscreen. Makes me miss England and my fellow Englishmen.

Oh boy, should have watched your video first. Stupid me, I never considered 4 pole vs 3 pole vs 2 pole. Now I've got some worthless mono plugs! Off to the net I go. Anyway, thanks for putting these kinds of videos together. It's the imperfection that makes them different and all the better!

I was going to buy new headphones and thanks to you I didn't even buy a new plug ! I soldered again on the original plug

Hi. A short extension cable would prevent it from breaking again. Then it just jumps apart without damage. Very good video, thank you.

Fantastic video man!!! I need to do this EXACT repair on a set of Turtle Beach headphones as well so I am VERY GRATEFUL for what you have done here!!! Thank you VERY MUCH!!!

You’re the best person in the world and I hope you have nothing but good fortune in the future

i love videos that pay attention to detail and i appreciate how you emphasis testing continuity with your solder drips on the new connector before soldering the wires to it. i watched a few videos prior with more views and, though they had a soldering kit, they didnt use a volt meter to work smarter. i imagine that would create a lot of trial and error attempts. also mapping the wires with the volt meter is one of those preparations that eliminate user error in connecting wrong ends - no guess work right? excellent video mate. thank you

I am wondering if it would have been possible to make a knot before soldering the wires to the jack to prevent breaking the soldering job if someone pulled the cable instead of the plastic covering. Great tutorial!

Smashing! you are a good tech and a good teacher. Thank you for the video. I liked your presentation. Great job!

Was just imagining it not working right at the end and you just launching it out of the window.

Oh my God I see this guy every day and ironically I really need his help oh my God thanks vince, and it was the exact headset

Tks for this I had the same problem with my Samsung headphones I'm really glad I didn't chuck them away it will give me something for the weekend to work on 👍

Appreciate for the close up shots mate

Best repair vid on yt step by step

it's always fun to repair. good job.

helpful video. the original male plug broke into pieces on my speaker jack to the subwoofer. I'm checking with the manufacturer if they can send me a replacement plug or just a better solution. I may just get a whole new speaker set.. just feels bad wasting the rest of the hardware.

thank you for the info. it really saved me for finding out where the different connections were on the jack. successfully reapaired my pair giving new use

5:06 lmao he said a funny word

Im subscibing this guy just fixed my headphones plus he said watford n i live 10 mins from watty

Exactly what I was looking for thank you buddy

احسن شرح اتفرجت عليه لحد دلوقتي بس المشكلة مش عارف انفذ الشرح بسبب ان الادوات عندي ناقصة ومش عارف اظبط الالوان صح >_

Thanks for mapping out the wires by color. It worked great. I used Goop glue to encase the wires and anchor them and slid the plastic jacket over that. Seems to have worked.

This is the best video ive seen you know why? cuz i have the same headphones as you except mine are the white ones and i have the same problem!!!! subbed! cheers!

Thanks for the video tutorial mate. It helped me a lot, I put on wrong location two of the cables, the sound was low and the microphone did not work. After this video all is perfect. Thanks a lot and great job.

Should have known my friend Vince would have a video on this..🙂😁

Thanks! Burning the insulation off seems to keep one from breaking the small wires. Good idea! I saw one video for phone headsets that claims the wires are coated with an enamel that needs to be burned off as well to make a good solder connection.

Thank you my friend. I had a different turtle beach headset but the wires coloring scheme was the same.

I like the way you do that soldering. thanks for sharing.

I have no experience with fixing electronics and this seems beyond what I am capable of, so I am going to try out something a little different. I bought a 3.5 mm male to male off of the Amazon. Instead of having to solder the wires to the headphone plug, I am going to cut the jack off of my headset along with the male to male, then connect the wires of the new jack to the wires in the old headset. Hopefully it works!

when you said 'hey cortana' and cortana came up on your laptop for some reason mine cortana also opened...😂

Very well spoken and clear, thank you

So I'm thinking one of the solderless breakout screw terminals from Amazon might be the way to go now. Cut the end off, strip the cable, screw down, done. Like the video though, and attention to detail. Informative and educational.

Wow!my left ear really enjoyed this video..

Thanks man. Finally fixed mine. Didn't use the exact method as you showed but this video gave me the motivation to do it.

I have two sets of Hyper X II headsets and one of the jacks is loose another just got bent slightly. At 120 a pair now this will be invaluable! Thank you sir! (Thankfully I found a second pair at a thrift store for 8 bucks, my first pair I bought new. I recommend them as they have been through a lot over the years!)

Very good considering you just winged it instead of properly preparing.

Also thank you so much, this is what I searched for!!!

I'm going to be repairing those same exact headphones, will definitely be using this video to help me.

YES! This is what I needed.

i can't use any of the information in this video as of right now, but I'm really glad this video exists because I want to get a nice pair of xbox 360 headphones with the separate chat and game volume dials, along with the mute button, and just replace the 2.5mm jack with a 3.5mm. For some goddamn reason everyone decided the Xbox One doesn't support separate volume controllers and there are no headsets that aren't for the 360 that have that kind of thing. I'm hoping if I just replace the 2.5mm jack with a 3.5mm then I'll magically be able to control chat volume and game volume individually on the One, but at the same time I'm sure that's just wishful thinking.

This was so good and detailed. U mentioned everything u had to. A big thumbs up 👍👍👍👍

Crazy that the break point is all the same. I bought cheap replacement aux cables for my sennheiser game ones and they only lasted 3 months each, original lasted almost 6 years. I've had enough so I'm just gonna follow your guide and solder it myself. Finding genuine sennheiser game one aux cables are just too expensive. I really do hate 2.5mm 4 pole jacks now.

I just cut my razer jack. Oh, wait! I have no soldering iron. Damn son! Good vid! yo Imma do this later!

My mic's Jack Broken 😟 How To Fix

I bought a Amazon return box, this will be worth my time.

Gran video es verdad tu si sabes bro ahora ya se que hacer cuando mis headphones se desconpongan gracias bro :)

Ok, my 15$ headset is not worth this effort. Great job BTW.

Thank You will be repairing mine now.

Very informative. Thank you. I knew how to solder the wires back on. My problem was that I couldn't find the Turtle Beach headset wire color coding diagram anywhere. So thank you very much. This video helped a lot with that. I was able to fix my $50 Turtle Beach headset with the jack from a dollar store pair of earbuds. Lol

Thank you so much for the tutorial. It's a great lesson personally.

My Astro 10 Headset is acting wierd yesterday it was perfectly fine but then the audio started cutting in and out and the jack that plugs into the headset everytime I move it around I hear noise than it goes away so I just hear silence unless I hold ot in a position. Can you please help if you know whats wrong?

Fantastic, thank you from Nova Scotia Canada. Mystery solved!

very thorough and clear! great video!

very helpfull

This video was invaluable in inspiring and helping me repair my Turtle Beach 50P headset, I was just going to throw it out! Thank you!!

Great video there. But let me add this... Don't use the glue directly on the outer part cos it makes the wire/cable break on subsequent twisting and bending. It's better to use the glue on the inner/lower part, not at angle like that.

Having a fan running might help with the smoke issue. A little liquid electrical tape or silicone adhesive caulk will improve where the cable comes out of the replacement jack. Dab it in with a toothpick if appearances matter to you.

Nice video. Thanks for the walkthrough, it really helped.

Whats the mini laptop called? love this video by the way, I was blanking on how to tell what wire solders where. THANK you. same as you, I have a solder and multi-meter but I barely have make scenarios to use them on.

Once again another great video thank you.

You've Just saved my headset... Thx a Lot.

Thanks your vid was great help. I repaired a different brand of headphones but the idea was the same !

I replaced mine. It works perfectly on a mac. But on a windows the sound i blurry, but the mic works. On a ps4 it won't even recognice the mic anymore. Can anyone help???

Dude thx ur a legend and its clear and not shitty

I was looking for a video on how to replace a jack coincidentally it’s the exact same headset and issue! I wonder if turtle bay have had this issue from other customers?

Same thing happened to me! Just bought a pair of replacement jacks. Wish me luck

I have a Turtle Beach as well I don't know the model but the jack got scratched on the 2nd prong and the right ear doesn't have sound and if I'm playing a game I don't get game audio unless I fiddle around with it.

Great video.......I might give it a go...

and another thing, if the areas for the left and right ear are accidentaly soldered together, it is ok, they will still work (unless u want stereo, just look up what it is if u dont know)

Quick question to anyone who knows anything about this, my plug got torn off and is now stuck inside the port in which it was plugged in, so using a multimeter isn't really an option for me, my question is, is it possible to just do a visual inspection (because only half of the plug is torn off and stuck in the port, the bottom part is not) to figure out which color goes where ? thanks

where did u get the jack

that little computer is sooo cute!

This jack size 3.5mm ?? Please Ans

Thank you for the pin out/ wire locations.

thanks for uploading, very helpful

hi, where do you put the multimeter exactly

Great detailed work my friend !

great video, i have some headphones with the same problem, now i can fix them, dont worry i have the tools for the job

Same happened with me, bent the plug, and now the audio I broken

What is that little yellow device that he tests the wires with called?

Is it the same for the HyperX Cloud II ?

I literally did the exact same thing you did. my problem is that I can hear things through both ears but I have to keep turning the jack like I am finding a radio station. I got the same headset but I got it practically new but since someone bought it and used it for about a week and didn't want it so got the mic for about $20. I know how to solder but, I do not own one personally to do this repair.
