While moving the speakers to another room, I found the surrounds of the JBL Control 1 pro has disintegrated so much that it comes off when wiping it with a soft cloth. It was used as PC speakers and listening to FM radio. The damage on one speaker is more than on the other one

Should I try to get this repaired or get another set of speakers ?
 
Hi bobby!
few years ago I faced the same issue...


...
 
Foam surround is common in the JBL Control 1 and i have 2 Pairs lying to be refoamed bought from a local HFV member which he has not used it for long time and unfortunately i have also not checked the package before buying.
 
Three months ago I replaced the foam surround of my 8" Russian FR driver with a DIY goat skin surround and the trick worked. I have been using the speaker since then without any issues. Also a cloth can be used as surround if getting a goat skin is too much of a hassel.Have fun.
 
Buy from India's official online dealer!
