Excellent video, thanks for taking the time to show everyone how to open the headset! For anyone looking to change the battery should just follow the video but open up the opposite side obviously. The battery inside is the exact same as the ps3 controller, luckily I had a few spare and you can pick them up easily on Ebay. Headsets now working perfect again, cheers!
@@chrisarmstrong8210 could you show me what kind of battery i need for PS3 controller and headset ? I dont want to purchase fake-counterfeit batteries...
@@markhamilton3215 I did not bought it yet. Took one from a PS3 controller, for testing. It worked just fine. You can find it if search in amazon or other online stores you should find it.
Since Sony has decided to not repair/refurbish or support this headset that cost over $200, it was very kind of you to provide such an excellent video on it's left side disassembly. I see lower in the comments that the right side holds the battery so obviously, the other side comes apart the same way if that needs to be accessed. Our light indicators and microphone have stopped working on ours. Fortunately everything else is still fine. Hopefully ours simply has a connection off from the mic to the circuit board. Thanks to Sony abandoning this model, your video has been extremely helpful in giving me the option to go have a look and see if it can be fixed. Many thanks!
Same!, bough my pair when it first launched and it's still going strong. I recently replaced the flaking ear-pads with velour ones. But the charging seems to be a bit "off" these days, and the battery only lasts about 5 hours before the headset turns off. (can't remember if that was always the case) And the "notch" that keeps the mic all the way out has worn down it seems, so gotta fix that. btw, do you have the name of the battery?.
I fixed mine by slowly rubbing my soldering iron across all the pins of the connector. and I also noticed the 4 connection points at the back of the board behind the connector were a little low on tin, so I've added some more to each. I havent had any charging issues since
A friend tell me do whith pepsi ligth buth onli ligth, normal pepsi not working but onli if you cant find 7up in the shoop, sorry 4 the orthography im mexican.
I am disassembling this Headphones for creating a line-out socket (recording ps4 party chat), i have already done one with the newer one(wireless gold) but this headphone's microphone is much better, anyways thank you for this video.
nice video, thanks. I have to wonder if your rechargeable battery isn't just wasted? It's either a bad rechargeable battery or that USB connector. How many hours of usage did you have on your headphones, did you buy them new?
hey there sorry for commenting a question on a suuuper old video but is there a way from the inside to remove something to workaround the dongle? I bought one used without the dongle and was hopeing to hook it up via usb to my pc
The last five screws he removed for the side cover is not the same as the battery side. There are only four screws. The fifth screw just above the bottom screw in the corner is not there on the battery side cover. Also, there are plastic catch tabs halfway up the side cover. Run a credit card up under the side lip to pop it loose. Side cover removes like the PCB side as seen here, but my side cover tabs seem to catch and needed the credit card procedure to pop the battery side cover loose. CHECK PROPER POLARITY BEFORE PLUGGING IN NEW BATTERY. Some replacements have incorrect polarity wired to connector. There is a $14 LIP1472 battery on "Big River" by retailer HXJNLDC that is 1250mah and tested as much on my Vapcell S4 Plus. Original battery is a LIP1472 and 570mah. Dimensions of original battery are 58mmx36mmx5mm.
if you get one of these headsets they are exspensive always keep the box with the paperwork in it and this problem propyl occurred because he wasent carful when pluging in the carging cord or the charging cord was bent in some way to warp the carging slot.
Thanks! My headphones USB have the same issue, i'll try to open it up and replace. I was worried that this would be a hard quest, but now i know it's not. xD
Remove the tape on top of the USB plug and take a mini screwdriver, then press lightly on the two metal tabs the usb plug ( careful not to push down to hard ) This will give plug the pressure needed to hold the plug in and steady for charging. Goodluck
I will follow your lead when working on my headphones and set my rifle and ammunition up followed by my sony chechya headset and new pads..... hahhaha nice workbench set up.
So my problem is the headband. I have the ps3 0083 I think, anyway, it's cracked all to hell. I was trying to think of a way to reinforce it, maybe with a thin piece of alluminum or some other mallabel metal, IDK. I bought a used pair, but nothing was broken at that time. Any ideas as to what or how I could go about doing this? I've gone through two regular rolls of duct tape, 1 roll of gorrilla tape, and some weird brown "shipping" tape that 3M makes, ANYWAY, OH and I've used a whole thing of super glue... SUPER GLUE and its still all broken.. I LOVE the headphones, just break easy.. oh and my wireless dongle is broke too haha
From what I can tell, it's a mini-b USB receptacle. I plan on using a heat gun to melt the solder connections and replace the part. www.amazon.com/Connectors-MINI-RECEPT-BTTM-piece/dp/B00R310IEW/ref=sr_1_79?ie=UTF8&qid=1436745948&sr=8-79&keywords=mini+b+receptacle#product-description- The battery is model # LIP1472, 3.7V, 570mAh and 2 Wh. I replaced it with a LIP1359 that I found still in the original pack for at least five years. Straight out the box it had two blinks worth of charge, impressive. Hope this helps someone.
+Mark O. Happened to all my headsets, pleather tend to dissolve from your sweat. Get Velour replacements if you could, i did so for my G390s. I also found replacements on ebay for the ps3 headset, look for something like SHURE HPAEC840 SRH840 SRH440 SRH940 or for velour HPAEC940 , its a bit of a gamble, wasn't impressed with the comfort at first but I got used to it. Hope this helps.
I need some help if you could please I pulled out my mic and I'm going to solder the wires back on can you please tell me what order the mic wires are in there is blue, green, red/glue, red, and orange
can anyone help me out? at around the 2:11 mark, he is talking about the wires. i have to re-solder these back on, and was wondering where the red and gold wires connect to. I;m having a hard time trying to figure it out on the video. Thanks for the help!
***** I've taken mine off an put them back on several times. Start one side and slowly spin it while making it slide it the crack. Takes a bit of patience but they do go back on.
my headphone have a problem in on/off button, i need the purchase a new button to on/off the headset, somebody send me a link in ebay or amazon or any site please!!
Remove the tape on top of the USB plug and take a mini screwdriver, then press lightly on the two metal tabs the usb plug ( careful not to push down to hard ) This will give plug the pressure needed to hold the plug in and steady for charging. Goodluck

Battery is located on the opposite side. Love these for the Ps4 too. Work great. Very good headset with a lot of features.
Thank you man, I didn't want to spend money buying a new headset when this is perfectly fine. I was able to replace the battery thanks to your video!

And Once again in order to change the battery your video had helped me after so many years. Thank you my friend, God bless you!

I havent had any charging issues since
My usb connector was disconnected form the electronics #fucked

Thank you!!! I´ve expended a lot of time searching a tutorial like your!!! Too many Thanks dude!!!
The PS3 headset actully sounds better then the HS80 Corsair $150 which is unbelievable.
It was and will also be the best wireless headset for playstation and PC. Premium mic and really nice sound for just 70 bucks.
Thanks for the only disassembly video. I really like the get a drink, so you can relax suggestion lol! Thanks for posting.

Excellent video, helped me a lot because I'm having the same problem with the usb connector. thanks

dude your a live saver
My Sony's PS3 headset is the wired one, and is splitted in the half of the diadem. How did you putted that metal plate???
İ have the same headset but mic doesnt work and no audio from left Side can you help me
Thanks! My headphones USB have the same issue, i'll try to open it up and replace. I was worried that this would be a hard quest, but now i know it's not. xD
Offical has 570mah battery? If i bought 1800mah ps3 controller battery, will this fit? Also i suppose this will extend the usage time
You tried out with a larger battery?
@@MrSmithFPV hi i know its a long time after i posted, but yes larger battery works without problem

But you never warned us that the ear cuff wouldn't go back on, I'm guessing that's why you started the video with it off.
