Indeed he is. However, I'm reluctant to take things apart, and I'm useless at soldering. Tried it, when I was younger.
AKG don't seem to provide support for these headphones, according to their website, these days, as they are so old. They are at least 15 years old, maybe 20.
I've found one possibility, a hifi repair shop, locally, so I'm thinking of taking the phones in and getting them to check them out and hopefully make good the dodgy connection(s).
If they do need to go to silicon heaven, I'll miss them sorely. If I had the money, I'd buy a pair of Grado Reference, as they are the proverbial dogs nads, other than (some) Stax, which cost uber money. The trouble is that few systems are good enough to do the above phones justice, hence the AKGs hitting a happy medium.
The trouble is, when you've listened to music through high quality headphones, there is no going back, as cheaper, lower quality headphones just sound shyte.
