Here's a great way to increase, maybe even double, the life of your stereo earphones. Did you know that most headphones wear out in one place? Today, I'll show you how to reinforce that spot in a way that is easy, durable and very professional looking.
You'll need a few things:
1.Heat-shrink tubing (available at electronics stores)
2.Cellophane tape
3. A cutting tool (sharp knife, razor blade)
4. Heat source (lighter or matches)
Addenda: Some folks have already broken/shorted the wire. Solution? Replace the plug. If the headphones are high-end, you might find a stereo repair shop that will do it for you. But if you want to try it yourself, here's a very good video how-to. I don't know the guy in the video, but he seems to know his stuff:
