Skullcandy Hesh 3 Auxiliary Port Replacement

Introduction

If your Skullcandy Hesh 3 headphones (model S6THW) are having audio issues like static while wired or if the aux port has become damaged, you may need to replace it. This repair guide will show you how to replace the auxiliary port of your Skullcandy Hesh 3 headphones.

Before beginning the repair be sure to check for debris in the aux port. You can easily remove debris with a small dust blower or tooth pick. In addition, make sure to power down the headphones completely and disconnect them from any external power source.

This guide requires soldering. Soldering irons are very hot and have the potential to burn or cause a fire. Please use with caution. If you're unfamiliar with soldering or desoldering or need a refresher, refer to the How to Solder and Desolder a Connection guide.
