Reply to comment by G65434-2_II in Just opened up my brand new pair of 800s! Amazing. by CultofCedar

The metal piece that holds the wires is held pretty snug inside the plastic housing honestly but this is really all that connects it. They felt pretty firm to me but I don’t know. This bad boy wanted freedom.

Thankfully they've had the courtesy of designing the driver units like that, with separate, firmly attached solder points, as opposed to just having the voice coil wires going directly to the cable connectors. That kind of an arrangement would be something else to accidentally yank apart...

Yea I was thankful it’s a super simple solder imo. The only downside was my wire stripper pulled the silicon off one because it’s such a small gauge lol. Minus that mishap I probably could’ve been in and out in like 5 min.

If I were someone else without the tools/soldering skills I probably would’ve felt some kinda way because ouch first new pair? First high end new pair?!

You didn’t just ask for a replacement?

Fat discount on it so possibly through warranty. Site was down and I was sitting next to my tools. Possibly 1 week+ vs 5 minutes. I am confident in my repair skills. Just gotta attach the two points, two taps of the soldering iron.
