After putting on my headphones the other day and realizing that no matter what I did, no sound was coming out of my HDJ 2000's, I have narrowed it down to the connection of the xlr cable to the headphones themselves. This is my best guess based on testing them. As of last night, I was getting partial sound, but like no bass just highs, but when i firmly pushed the xlr connector into the headphones, it suddenly came back to life. For a few minutes, yesterday, they worked perfect when worn with band across head, but when I dropped the band to rest on my neck, sound was gone. My buddy suggested it could also be the internal connectors of the mini xlr jack and not the cable.
So my HDJ's are not even a year old so what do I do to get these things fixed? For this type of problem, I really wish pioneer would just send me a new cord/cans. I have a backup pair of ultrasones that I replaced with the HDJ 2000's after using those for roughly 4 years.
As far as HDJ 2000's cable, I almost always leave it on the headphones when I pack them into my bag. I am careful not to put any unecessary stress on connection, but I figured if i had plugged/unplugged them at every gig, that would be the cause for them to fail.
Any help would be great. Going to search the archives real quiick as well.
