Right Driver on My Status CB-1's Not Making Any Noise

The right driver on my Status Audio CB-1’s is no longer producing any noise. I have had them for a few months and though they are not super expensive, I cannot replace them right now. I have taken them apart multiple times and found nothing, no frayed wires or bad soldering. The cord that runs through the headphones to the right driver is not damaged at all, but still, not noise. I have already check the auxiliary cable I was using, trying three different ones. The driver started producing noises for a little bit when I bent the headband, but then stopped and I haven’t been able to get noise again. Other than that, I have no idea what to try and what to look for, so any help would be appreciated.

Hi @thesilverfox51 ,

If you have access to a DMM (Digital MultiMeter) use its’ Ohmmeter function to test the continuity of the right speaker wires from the aux cable plug through to the right speaker.

I realize that you have tried different cables but it is easier to test with a cable inserted into the headphones. Having the earphones dis-assembled - at least the side where the aux cable plugs into will speed things up.

Plug an audio cable into the headphones only. Set the DMM to measure Ohms (200 Ohm scale) and then place the Ohmmeter’s test leads between the tip connector and sleeve connector of the aux cable plug at the other end of the cable which is inserted into the headphones. You should get a reading as you are “measuring” the left speaker. This is just to prove that you have set the meter up OK.

Next place the meter test leads between the ring connector and the sleeve connector of the aux cable plug. From your description you will not get a reading.

Then you need to do point to point testing. That is place one meter test lead on the ring connector and use the other meter lead to see if you can get a reading on the aux jack socket connections in the headphones.

You may have to identify which aux cable jack socket connection is the one for the ring connector. The easiest way is to identify the tip connector by placing the meter probe on the tip connector of the cable plug and then “find” it on the socket connection, next do the sleeve connection the same way. the one that is left is the ring connection.

It may be that the internal connecting spring in the aux socket in the headphones for the ring connector has lost tension and is not making a good connection to the cable plug.

Unfortunately if this is the case the socket cannot be repaired it has to be replaced.

Here’s an image which shows how audio stereo cable plugs are wired:

Thank you! I don't have current access to a multimeter, but they seem like they should be available at a hardware store or something. However, the Auxiliary socket on the headphones will be harder to find (as that does seem to be what the issue is), I cannot seem to find one that is even similar to the one in the headphones anywhere online, do you know where I could find one?

Hi @thesilverfox51 ,

Adequate DMMs are availble at major hardware stores for approx <$15

Have a look here for sockets

Select "phone connectors -3.5mm (or 1/8") - female" and see if you can find one that has similar board connections - when you click on an image that may look like the one another page opens with specs and also a link to the 'datasheet' which gives more detailed info.

Hopefully this is of some help.

Thank you so much! I have found a few similar parts, so I should be able to make it work.
