Repairing Headphones

[faced]

I'm looking to get into electronics (just repairs for now)

my headset has been cutting out in one ear, it is a "Steelseries 5hv2"


Basically i wiggle the wire near where it connects to the actual headphone and if its a certain position it will work, but if its in normal use it won't...


now this headset has a microphone so i guess that would be another wire.

I'm quite new to electronics (I've soldered etc basic high school electronics) so if anyone could give me an essential list of tools + optional/very helpful ones that would be great.

So to sum it up-
- it works in the ear where the wire connects but not in the other one.
- need help getting all the right tools etc (whats the most economical way to get in a kit/pack?).
- maybe a basic run through/diagram of what to do?.

any help appreciated

Soldering iron, solder, and basic hand tools. There's a wire half broke probably near where it goes into the headset.

Hi, faced

By your description, seems it's your headset wire problem. The connnection of your headphone wire looks like not good, you can use some detect tools to check it and see if its can repare or not. If no luck, replace a new one.
