Modifying the TyTN headphone

[basilrsa]

I was wondering if anyone has opened the standard TyTN headphone plastic connector box? I want to change my headphones but need to get into the case. Does it just clip apart or is it sealed(glued)?
I can't afford to make a mistake as they are not available in South Africa yet.

It's very simple. There is no glue in it. Just get a very sharp knife and separate two parts (they are connected together with clips).
I've already replaced original headphones with Creative EP-630 isolator headphones.
Difference is very sugnificant!

I took some pics.

Put your nail into slit.

Hmmm...

open the mic box
unsolder the headphones
solder new headphones
close mic box

That's all. Not so difficult.
All you need is soldering iron, solder, flux, wire stripper(or knife), and new headphones.
When you cut & strip wire of new headphone, you'll see where to solder.
Red to RIGHT, green(or blue) to LEFT, the others to GND.
This article will help you.
