Schritt 2

Remove all four 1cm screws on the inside of the headphone using a #1 Phillips head.

Schritt 3

Remove the speaker from the grill by pulling it out.
Remove the speaker carefully so you do not rip the wires out.

Schritt 4

Desolder the red, yellow, and blue wires using a soldering iron and desoldering wick. If you need assistance, reference Wie man Lötverbindungen herstellt und entlötet.
The areas where you desolder will be hot so wait until the desoldered joints are cool before handling the wires again.

Schritt 5

Untie the knot in the thick main cable.
Remove the main cable from the headphones by pulling it out.
Thread the replacement cable into the hole on the bottom of the headphones. Pull the cable all the way through.

Not sure if it’s on purpose or not but on my A900Xs the cable is on the left headphone and so, the one on the right is the one with the tiny wire going through, I found that a 2 core wire is needed for this replacement, I only managed to find one that’s 1,4mm diameter and it seems to be a little thicker than what’s actually inside the headphones but I figured I’ll give it a try, anyways here’s the wire I found on AliExpress https://www.aliexpress.com/item/40004436...
