I have some headphones with a broken 3.5" jack. The headphones are perfectly fine, but my son and his ps4 shatter them when conecting it to the controller. Any tuto to solder the jacks?? they have a microphone.

Use a soldering iron, not a mic. A mic won't get hot enough.

I had thought of replacing the microphone with a hammer.... will work??

It should, but only a frequencies and volumes that allow the hammer to vibrate correctly.
