Having suffered for long enough with my BB headset only delivering sound to the right ear i decided to 'lash out' and buy a new one. unfortunately it is next to impossible to buy origional parts in australia so i had to settle for a generic stereo headset......SAME DAMN PROBLEM!!!!!.
After reading in another post that the 8800 is mono not stereo i decided to fix the problem.
step 1. open the switch casing (the bit that contains the microphone and the answer button where the leads split)
Step 2. separate the enameled wires (in my case there are 2 copper colored wires, one red and one green)
Step 3. twist copper wires together.
Step 4. twist colored wires together.
Step 5. weld twisted wired while removing enamel by using a cigarette lighter (i used a small blow torch)
Step 6. TEST AND MAKE SURE IT WORKS.
Step 7. seal the wires with a little epoxy resin, close the casing and you have a new BB headset
Step 8. Enjoy!!
