What's already been suggested (and what you quoted).Does that tip work after the occurred problem? he... =/ he...
Seriously, is there any solution to this?
^ Does this work? I'm not that desperate, I'm using some headphones someone gave to me, but if there's any solution, I'll take it.
It just kills me to throw away some headphones in perfect condition. I didn't even use them much.
Best thing to do would be to clip the end off, buy a new 3.5mm end / jacket (the stress reliever) and solder the wires to the new plug if you can.
