我们做了很多关于“3r”的事情:减少,再利用,回收。There’s another “re-” word that we don’t address nearly enough, though:repair. Our inclination when faced with a product that’s not working well is toss and replace, but, for many household items, there are repair options… usually that we can do ourselves.
So when I saw Julie Finn had put together a post on headphone repairover at Crafting a Green World,我决定我需要在这里分享。虽然我猜这些东西在我们的废物流中不是很大的一部分,但我猜它们已经足够重要了。如果你除了买便宜的耳塞,还能给自己省点钱。

Repair Your Headphones: 10 DIY Fixes
I HAAAAATE it when my headphones break! Even if they’re a cheapo pair of earbuds, I expect them to last, and if they’re a nice set of headphones, then I expect them to REALLY last.
把它们扔进垃圾桶?不是一个选择。
幸运的是,大多数耳机最常见的故障都很容易修复。Here are some ways to repair your headphones that will have them back on your head by tomorrow:
Clean out the jack.If all your headphones malfunction when connected to the same device, then the problem is likely a dirty jack.Here’s how to clean it.
Make your own ear cushions.Who said that your repair couldn’t be cute? Thesecrocheted ear cushionsare WAY better than the originals!
Print a new jack cover.If you want your headphones to continue looking cute after their repair, consider finding someone with a 3D printer. For instance, here’s afile for a new jack cover.
Reconnect a wire to the lead.如果音频只通过耳机的一边播放,那么电线松动或断开就是罪魁祸首。
Repair the ear cushion.If the cushion wears out or comes off of your headphones, don’t worry–that’s fixable!
Replace the jack.The headphones’ plug, or jack, gets a lot of use… and therefore a lot of abuse! If your headphones have a connection problem but no visibly damaged wires, then replacing the jack may be your quick fix.
Test the audio.If your headphones aren’t playing well, this is the way to figure out exactly what the problem is.
Use heat shrink tubing.If your jack isn’t too bulky, you can slide this onto your cable and use it to cover exposed wires.
Use Sugru.Thismoldable, air-cured plasticis a great fix for any cords in where there are exposed wires, because the Sugru safely insulates them. So far, I’ve used Sugru in this way to repair my microwave cord, vacuum cleaner cord, crock pot cord, and, yes, earbuds cords.
消灭他们。You can prevent a lot of the problems that occur from dirt build-up simply by wiping your headphones down withthis homemade cleaning solution.
