How Fix Rattle in Aftershokz Trekz Titanium Headphones
Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 7 Steps
Before diving into the repair, the speaker was rattling around like a bean in a pod— a little shake of the headset and I could feel it dancing! I decided to tackle the other side while I was at it. Now, both sides are rock solid at full volume, and the microphone is working like a charm!
Step 1
Line up the drill bit so it stays right where you want it—no rogue wandering allowed.
Don’t sweat the exact spot; the speaker takes up most of the space anyway. Just steer clear of the control button and leave enough room for glue to seal things up later.
– Grab your awl or drift punch and make a mark right in the middle, just above the back of the speaker.
Step 2
There’s a little space between the speaker’s back and the case, so don’t worry if you spot a gap.
– With a gentle touch, use a small twist bit to carefully break through the plastic casing. Stop once you see metal peeking through.
Step 3
I grabbed a countersink for this, but an oversized twist bit will totally do the trick too.
– If you’re feeling fancy, you can gently widen the mouth of the glue port to make things flow a little smoother.
Step 4
I had a blast using Gorilla Glue for this one! While others have tried different adhesives or epoxies, the goal here is to snugly fill in behind the speaker and/or attach the speaker flange to the cup. You’re doing great—keep it up!
– Just add a tiny drop of glue to get things sticking again.
Step 5
– Gently work the adhesive into the glue port using something small, like a toothpick. This helps get it into all the nooks and crannies, so it sticks just right!
Step 6
– Wipe away any stray glue or epoxy like a pro—let’s keep things neat and tidy!
Step 7
– Gorilla glue likes to puff up, so I covered the glue opening with some tape and let it chill overnight while the glue set.
Success!
