The $%^#$@#$%^ dumb ass pet my gf is keeping took a chew out of my headphone cable. It's like a cut, and I want to close this up.

Anyone fixed something like this before and how did you do it?

Feels like the money I spent on buying her the damn thing (yea I payed for her pet) has become a financial burden hundred times heavier than the cost of the pet itself..

Thanks for looking.

First calm down it is just a cable.

Second maybe check out the link in your sig

Is the conductor cut? Or just the insulation? If it is the conductor then you probably are best recabling it. If just the insulation you could throw some heatshrink over the cut.

Its just the insulation.

See, the problem is that it is the cable of FS:Eterna, an IEM. Not so easy to recable.
It's only been 3 weeks since I got it, which makes me go "why you little bastard, WHY!?"..

The little bastard chewed on the R cable, how do I get heatshrink over a) the phone b) the jack + the Y split?

He chewed 4-5 cm away from the phone as well so there is little space to work on..

If it really bothers you: warranty.

If you want to repair yourself: just solder the wires to each other and finish with tape or heatshrink (you'll have to cut the cable first of course ).
