After testing, I realized that the two red wires are hot, the gold ones are the ground and the return is the grey wire. I did continuity testing between the two speakers and the main stereo plug; I came to conclusion that the ground wire was loose somewhere in the headphones.




Replacing the wire inside those headphones is going to be tricky and I hate to work on details thing like that.

Tracing the fault was easy but repair the fault was really tricky. I bought a new audio cable and cut the plugs off and used the cables inside to connect the red and the ground wires. It is easier replace both instead of just one. It will also look good.
