I did actually! The cable that I had previously soldered on had come out. So I resoldered it, which was more difficult this time because my near eye sight seems to be getting worse. But the balance has been restored. This time I used electrical insulation tape to keep the cable in place. I ordered a new pair Bose noise cancelling headphones the moment the previous pair broke and they should be delivered today. I'm really excited about it, they're a professional tool as much as anything because I need to be able to concentrate when programming at work. I'm really happy to have got the old pair working again though, my husband can use them on long journeys but I think it's time they were retired from active service.
This time though I'll be buying spares while they are still available. The previous ear cups wore away and I needed to buy some unofficial replacements instead which were far less comfortable.
