This should work but there are no guarantees. Doing any repairs like this may void any warranty you may have. Soldering irons and other tools can be dangerous and should be used with safety in mind. I am not liable for any damage done.
Here's a fairly well-written 'ible on the wire splicing

-Shrink tubing (Finally found some in my house)

thanks so much!
My high end Sony headphones back and sounding good as new!
i have Bose headphones and just today i noticed that the part where the cable meets with the jack is showing.
Only the right ear cup works.
There two cable stuck together and only one of them is peeling a little and is showing the internal stuff.
Is there a way that i can fix this?
Can i buy another jack and attach it onto the cable?
please get back to me.
thank you.
I also dug out my older headset that was broken at the jack end and got the same result.
What did I do wrong that I get echo now. Im the only one that can hear the echo in my ear. The person Im talking with doesnt hear the echo.
A visual inspection of the wire can sometimes show an area where the insulation is a different color (black insulation may turn gray under continued stress conditions, not sure what white'll do, I'm too hard on electronics to ever consider getting any of the fragile iPrODucts).
Depending on how much you spent on the headphones, it might be worthwhile to sacrifice a pair of cheap headphones (like the type they give you on airplanes), and just connect the wire from the cheap headphones to your good headphones.
Thanks for the tip though. Ill post back the results.
Thank God for this solution, I was told about it by my boss today, and he said bring them in to him, so that is exactly what I'll do!
Not saying I don't trust this (I just don't trust me.)
I was thrilled when I found out about this, those wires are so damn thin You could pull them apart with 2 fingers!
funny thing is that I've never spent more than ~25 on a set of headphones
