"If you are sure the problem is with the transformer then there isn't much that can be done, its probably made bespoke for the headphones. Is it in warranty? If so put that shit back together, pretend you never opened it and get a replacement. "
I really hope that stupid little box isn't proprietary and I'm absolutely screwed. Here's some info, any more help would be great.
1. I'm out of warranty and the store to purchase replacements have been out of stock since September.
2. I do have 3rd party (I guess you could say) replacement cables, 3 to be exact. The downside being they all suffer from feedback problems.
3. I was told to purchase ferrite core blocks and guess what, they did jack shit. =( If anyone knows anything about how those work that be nice. =P
4. I have 2 first party cables that I'm sure i could salvage for their transformers. The thing is would attaching them to my "3rd party" cables even work?
5 Here's kind of a stupid tidbit. The Astro cable uses what I'm assuming is gold plated jacks and the others don't???? Does that make a difference?
6. This is kind an obvious one but I've heard that the Turtle Beachs equivalent the "Talkback cable" works just like Astros "Xbox cable." If anyone has
a Turtle Beach headset of any kind maybe they could check and see if the're similar in any way before I shell out more cash.
I'm sure there is more i can do but god, if this has taught me anything it's that nothing is as easy or as black and white as it should be.
Now if you excuse me, there's a pillow somewhere around here I need to curse Astro's name into...
Save our landfills and HEEEELLLLP MEEEEE =P
