I have the headset cable of my Sennheiser S1 Digital damaged with multiple cuts, exactly as shown on @Vladimir s photo.
The cable still works and I fixed it by wrapping tape around it.
It’s unclear to me where these cuts come from. The DA40 has fixed seats so it can’t be that the cable got stuck between the seat sliders. It’s my personal headset and I always take it home, so it’s not used that much. The standard David Clark headsets which are in the aircraft don’t have the cables damaged.
So the most valid explanation would be that the cable get damaged by the zipper of the headset case…
I’ve just sent my Lightspeed in today for exact the same problem. I normally let the authorised repair centre carry out the repair. After market support has been great so far.
p.s. Sorry, I didn’t have a broken cable, just a broken outer shell, plus insulation.
It probably got caught somewhere between a door or something. Or a minor cut/scratch that weakened the cable assy.
