Introduzione
Use this guide to replace a worn out or dead battery in your Sony MDR-1000X.
If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions. For your safety, discharge your battery below 25% before disassembling your headphones. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair.

If possible, turn on your device and test your repair before resealing.
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
For optimal performance, calibrate your newly installed battery: Charge it to 100%, and keep charging it for at least two more hours. Then, use it until it shuts off due to low battery. Finally, charge it uninterrupted to 100%
Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.

Ugh…. I broke one of the gold pins attached to the red/white/black wires to the battery…. Does anyone know if there’s a fix or solution for that save for soldering?
At least I figured out it was the battery that was the initial issue! But now…. UGH.
Thank you so much for this guide, Dominik!
Hi Kaldea, I’m not sure which part you actually broke off but in case you’re fit in soldering you should be able to solder the cable back onto the pin. In case you broke the side which is in contact with the battery you need to find a replacement part for it. You might be lucky in a well sorted electronic or model making store.
Yes, BE CAREFUL! I too broke one of the gold pins - they're not even pins, they're kind of folded metal foil, and very brittle. It snapped and although I put it back in place, I'm guessing it did not make a connection because the battery did not charge. I can't solder and don't have the equipment :-( So now I need to buy new headphones. Still it was worth a try.
