Well I traded for a pair of ALO jenna cable rewired 701s and of course the left channel is cutting out on me at the earcup. I have a 4 conductor extension that highflyin9 did for me a while back that is totally transparent to me so I thought I would use that cable to rewire these.

Ken did a second entry so I am all set up to attempt to wire them balanced but I can't seem to be able to get into the earcup has anyone done these yet. I would stick with the jenna wire but it is all of 5 feet and I need a min of 10ft

any help would be appreciated

remove the silver colored perforated cover (counter clockwise rotation)

unscrew the two retaining screws on the plastic housing.

Remove the outer white ring by unsnapping it off the two rods in the headband, and pressing it in where it snaps into the housing (two places). Pull out. There is a little hole you can stick

a rod into to help unsnap one side.

sorry I can't follow what you are saying? what solver colored perforated cover? I took the cushion off and they revealed a black ring that looks to be held in by a rim but I can't seem to snap that out? sorry for being obtuse

The wiring is on the other side of the haedphone, not the cushion side.

Nums, I'd send the 701s to someone for a recable. Not me, mind you, but I bet someone around here could help you out and save you some serious aggravation.
