I recently had my nice pair of headphones become useless become one of the channels(right ear) stopped working. I decided to try and fix them.

The resulting fix(which works, by the way) involved vandalising an old pair of iPod headphones, duct tape, scotch tape, a lighter, scissors, a peice of wood that you get with art canvases, an elastic, and a bulldog clip. All with much screaming, swearing, and writhing.

You also can't access the volume control anymore. Small sacrifices, I say.
