Default Headset Alligator Clip Broke

Please Login to Remove!

I take my Curve running with me and I use the included headset to play my music. Unfortunately, the little alligator clip on the cord broke. Is there any way to get a replacement without buying a new cord?

I know it's a little thing. But without it, I keep snagging the cord on my arms while running! Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

You may want to check in an electronics parts store or even a hobby store to find something similar. Even a regular alligator clip will probably work for what you need (but probably won't have the little hook thingy to keep it attached to cord). Most likely you'll have to buy a pack of several.

try and find someone who is selling their headset on ebay really cheap and use the clip off that.

I just route my cord under my shirt when I am mountain biking. That keeps it in place nicely. I go alligator clipless! ;)

Well, that would serve the function pretty well. And you can get those binder clips in various colors now.

Radio Shack sells alligator clips and some even have sleeves that could be crimped around the headphone wire - do not use too much force since you do not want to break the insulation.
