Hi,
You'd probably need a new plug or someone to sodder then.

Emne: can a blind person repair headphones that have a short in them?

One side of my headphones works, but the other side won't play unless I push
on and move the wire right above the end piece.  So since it can work if
it's moved a certain way and isn't totally out of commission, has anyone
ever repaired a set of headphones?  I saw some fixes that involve using
tools but didn't know if there might be a simpler way.

Thanks.

or sometimes rolling silver foil on the lose wire connection helps

Sometimes there may be little fix it shops in your town that might be able to 
help you. However, if you are not used a soddering gun, i suggest purchasing a 
new pair, the cost of the repair might be more than what the headphones are 
worth.

One side of my headphones works, but the other side won't play unless I push on 
and move the wire right above the end piece.  So since it can work if it's 
moved a certain way and isn't totally out of commission, has anyone ever 
repaired a set of headphones?  I saw some fixes that involve using tools but 
didn't know if there might be a simpler way.

Thanks.
