Professional Headphone Repair Service
Expert hardware diagnostics and component-level repair for Bose, Sony, and Beats. We specialise in micro-soldering, driver replacement, and Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) calibration for consumer and professional audio.
Our service provides a technical alternative to manufacturer service centres, specifically for out-of-warranty headphones and complex hardware faults that standard “module-swapping” shops cannot resolve.

Repair vs Replace: The Engineering Perspective
β When Repair Makes Sense
- Premium Wireless: When the residual value of Bose or Sony flagships remains high compared to repair costs.
- Single-Point Failures: Isolated faults like a snapped hinge, worn battery, or broken charging port.
- Professional Gear: High-end studio or aviation headsets where replacement costs are significant.
β When Replacement is Better
- Severe Board Trauma: Multi-layer board delamination or catastrophic liquid damage to the main processor.
- Economic Obsolescence: When the device is an entry-level model and repair costs exceed its market value.
- Proprietary Part Scarcity: When a specific acoustic driver or proprietary IC is no longer manufactured.
Service Logistics & Frequently Asked Questions
The Repair Pathway: How it Works
How long does a headphone repair take?
Standard diagnostics take 2-4 working days. Most common repairs are completed shortly after part arrival. We provide an estimated completion date with your quote.
Do you use original parts?
We source genuine OEM parts where supply chains permit. For many devices, premium-grade third-party components offer identical performance at better economics.
Can you fix “one side not working”?
Yes, this is a common fault usually caused by a failed driver, internal wiring break, or a fault in the audio output stage of the logic board.
