I've got a pair of Sennheiser PX-100s that I use all the time with my netbook so I can hear the speech synthesizer, and after nearly 3 years of daily use the connection at the minijack seems to have broken for one channel. I'd just go out and get a right angle 3.5mm stereo plug, but the tiny size of these wires is a bit daunting. Is there a place one can send these for retermination for cheap? These are the best lightweight cans I've ever had and while I don't want to buy another pair I also don't want to spend a fortune for a new connector.
Thanks,
Jim

Amazon has those new for $45.
I could fix the cable for you but with shipping and stuff it would probably be $15,.. so I'd just go for a brand spankin' new pair for another $30.

Steve,
Ok, thanks for the link -- think I'll buy one from amazon and then try to fix this one. Looks like the model I have has been replaced by the new one -- the series II -- and some of the review comments give me pause as the ones I have seem ideal for what I use them for, and the hard case is a definite plus, where the new model only has a soft pouch.
I also remembered last night that there is a local pro gear shop where I used to buy my studio gear and their tech can probably do it for me for the cost of the connector.
Appreciate the offer though,
Jim

Jim,
I was going to say that an audio shop might be a good place to get the headphones repaired, maybe an electronics repair station? Your Pro Gear place would probably be even better.
Good luck,
