Default Help with wiring colors on old headphones

Out of phase headphone transducers create a far more subtle adverse
effect than that noticed in loudspeakers, so it is not something
immediately evident by A-B testing. Nor is testing necessary if someone
here knows what the color coding is.


A pair of headphones with incorrect phasing is about as obvious as being
hit on the head with a brick.



** ROTFLMAO !!!

Amplifier to mono and try listening to something. If you have it right the
sound source will appear to be very close to the middle of your head and
if not it will be in different places or spread out depending on the
frequency.

If you can't tell the difference you don't deserve a hifi system.



** LOL.


You could always look at the cables at the transducer end.


** Just might be that the transducers are mis-wired.

As someone who does repairs for a living - I learnt LONG ago to expect
the unexpected.

Murphy RULES !!!!!
