no sound out of the left side subwoofer worked fine but no regular sound.
so i soldered a replacement wire in to bypass the faulty connection.

I read that Skullcandy has lifetime warranty on their products, was there a problem with warranty on this ?

$20? That's a good money for those headphones there. Judging by the pictures, personally I wouldn't pay even $2 for such shitty headphones. I fixed some TurtleBeach EarForce(?) headphones about 6 months ago and they were utter crap IMO, despite their $100 price tag for a new pair. They had a built-in amp powered from 5V on USB, but it was so weak it would distort the sound horribly at even slightly louder-than-normal levels.

Pimp my Headphones ??

Reminds me of my friend who thinks that 5.1 channel "surround sound" headphones must sound much better than a regular pair of headphones because regular headphones cannot reproduce "surround sound".

Re: repaired a pair of skullcandy headphones

These are only meant to look cool to dumb kids, just like those "Beats" headphones.

The "subwoofer" is probably just a bass boost circuit powered by that AA battery.

I just saw some in a magazine in our (junk) mail. Prices ranged from $50 to $100 and above. Seriously, why does everyone think those Beats headphones are so special? I never heard how they sound, but I doubt they are that great.
