I got the Creative Aurvana Live! headphones a few months ago after a recommendation from this thread and while I really enjoyed them, it appears something is starting to go wrong with them now. When I'm walking around and listening to music on my phone (in my pocket) sometimes the sound will go out in the left ear and then come back. I'd guess this means it's a problem with the cable? Is it feasible to replace the cable or something or should I just get new headphones?

It's not terribly difficult with parts from Radioshack, and I think soldering is a good skill to have, but I can't say whether its worth your time. Umm, probably? I've done a little bit of soldering for a high school physics project but I think my grandpa and one of my brother's friends are actually competent at it.

How would one pinpoint the break in the cable?

That's what I figured, but I just did that and the sound didn't falter at all. I've only noticed the sound messing up with my phone (I have my headphones plugged into my computer at the moment), is it possible that the problem is with the phone's headphone jack somehow? I assumed I was just noticing it with my phone because it's the only thing I use my headphones with while I'm moving.

grack posted:It's possible a bit of dust got in to the headphone jack and is screwing up the connection on an intermittent basis. You can try cleaning it out with a q-tip dipped in a bit of alcohol (a very small amount, though). I tried this and it seems to have worked! Thanks a ton!

Budget: Under $200. Source: My galaxy S4, sometimes my laptop. Preferred type of headphone: Over ear. Preferred tonal balance: Slightly bass heavy. Previous headphones: I've had Creative Aurvana Lives for about two years and I liked them but the left cup just stopped working. I always take them to and from campus and have them in my backpack all day. Type of music: Mostly hip hop. Some pop/r&b.
