Need replacement jack adapter? on sennheiser hd555

[tnt3k]

I let my friend borrow my sennheiser hd555 and unfortunately he stepped on the plug part so now the adapter part is broken. =\ is there anywhere i can buy a replacement plug adapter? i've been searching but i can't find sennheiser ones

I'd recommend getting something like this.

I'd recommend getting something like this.

+1, i was actually going to recommend this one. it tends to not torque as much on the audio jack as the one pictured.

hmmm i'll consider it but i would still like to get a replacement if possible

+1 on the above.
The 1-piece adapters put a lot of weight and pressure on the headphone jack's in your device.

If you want an exact replacement, your best bet is to call up sennheiser to see if they'll send you a new one.

It might be pricey at ~$16, but it'll be much more durable.

If you insist on a device similar to the one Sennheiser provided you, then get this one from Monoprice: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10401&cs_id=1040109&p_id=2936&seq=1&format=2

Or are you looking for a Sennheiser branded one for some reason? Because sound quality won't change.

I will also throw in a +1 on the Grado adapter. My same Sennheiser adapter broke too and while I did at first feel stupid for paying $16 for a replacement, I am very happy with my purchase. I fully expect the Grado adapter to last 10+ years.

thanks guys i think i'll get a grado one then seeing how hard it is to get a oem replacement

an Amazon search will bring up a ton of cheap replacements. I buy all of my HDMI cables there as well as my audio adapters. Everything I have bought through Amazon has come from a reputable source in terms of shipping and quality. As far as adapters? I have two pieces that I could not have found before on a straight google or yahoo search.

cheers,
