How to improve/repair your headphone wire splitter

   Now on some headphones, instead of having two cords molded together that split apart towards the middle, the main cord comes to a stop and gets soldered together with two different wires, then the open wires where it was soldered gets completely in cased in plastic. The only problem in this is that it creates a weak point.  The plastic doesn't really hold the wires together.  So of course, the wire splitter broke for me.  I sent the company a picture and they gave me a new pair of headphones.  Now I just have a pair of broken headphones in the corner.  So I decided to give my headphones a second chance!  

   When I was thinking about how I could make this, I was thinking, what should I in case the open wires in?  Then I thought, epoxy putty!  Epoxy putty is just like jb weld or five minute epoxy, except it is black and it comes in a putty form.  It is almost indestructible.  So that is why I used it!
