Hi,
I have a pair of M50 stereo headphones by Audio Technica. The right element stopped working so I bought a pair of two new elements (which were both tested to work).
The left element is the one that receives the stereo signal (only one cable goes into the headphones), and it sends the right element's signal to the right elements using a tiny wire that has two wires inside of it: red and bronze.
The problem is with those two red and bronze wires. First, it seems they conduct no electricity, which is super weird. I used a multimeter, touched two points of the bronze wire that are barely 1cm apart, and there's no beeping. Same with the red wire. No idea how that's possible. I should note that I did the same test with other wires, and other unrelated stuff such as my apartment key, and the beeping works fine.
Now to the other problem:
I absolutely cannot solder those two wires, they resist the solder material, they push it aside or something. The headphones have this big cable which contains another three wires (red, green, black) that I was able to solder very easily.
So why do the two wires of the right element signal do not conduct electricity (according to my multimeter) and also do not solder?
Here's a photo of the left element with all the wires. Please advice, those are expensive headphones and I paid a lot for the replacement parts.
Thank you.
