The right earbud on my mp3 player started crackling a little this morning. Is there any way to fix it, or should I just get a new pair?
Hi, Unless it is costly replace it. I like the Sennheiser ones ... run about $60. Clean sound and so far they have survived the abuse of several plane trips and lots of daily use.
I just replace the earbuds in that case. They usually do not cost too much and it is a lot easier than trying to fix them.
OK, I will just replace them then. Gofar, are the Sennheisers earbuds or actual headphones? What model are they? I like the noise isolation of headphones but sometimes you can't beat earbuds for convenience.
Hi , I have both, but the buds are Model CX300 II. Comfortable, noise isolating and great sound. I seem to recall they were around $50. The large ones are closed ear. Comfortable and really nice sound Model HD 280 Silver. About $100 as I recall.
