It is very likely a bad connection in the cable or the plug.

It is posible that the actual transducer of the headphone is bad, but it is not likely.

I find that one side going intermittent and then dead is a universal problem with headphones, after a good amount of time and use.  And can be easily fixed.  Contact Sennheiser.

Hi all,

 

I have a pair of cheap (but great value) Sennheiser HD202 II that is past the official warranty time (3.5 years from purchase. only 2 years warr). 

Right side stopped playing. Left is fine. No tears or kinks and I opened the ear-piece - seemes un damaged inside too.

 

Is there a quick fix to that or it's not worth the time /money? (at this point, I guess it's a mixture of dissapointment and technical curiousity)

 

If we're on the topic - I'd live to get recommendations for good budget headphones to use with home stereo.

 

many thanks

How much do you mean when you say budget?
