Replacing my monster turbines plug

Hi all, after two weeks of usage the plug on my monster turbines broke. Now i knew that the cable was utter crap, but not that it would break after two weeks. Now monster won't repair them for free because i did'nt buy from an authorised seller (im sure theyre not fake tho). So now i want to repair them myself, with soldering and a neutrik plug. However, on this picture it says that the turbines have a "magnetic flux tube".

Is it possible for me to repair it? How should i do it?

Also, if i cant do it, how much will it cost for me to have them repaired (does monster do that?)?

Google is your friend. Anyway by all accounts (from what I've seen on google-d forums) the fluxtube does not seem to do anything. Makes sense anyway, if the rolled copper wire is the ground and the microstrand carries the signal, the fluxtube should not carry any current. Just correctly identify the ground-left-right channels, REMOVE THE ENAMEL COATING (most earphones have this so I assume monster does as well, it should melt under the heat of your solder gun but then again ymmv) then heat up the soldering point and voila.

Okay thanks. I can't really find anything on google, but it would be great if i can just repair those myself. Can anyone verify that this is indeed possible?

I've always wondered.. how do you tell which is left and right and ground if you can't open up the earphones?

Use a track which you are familiar with which pans left-right and temporary physical contact with the plug to check (:

Well on the plug you know whats left n right. When youve snapped the plug off you can see whats left n right om the wires with a multimeter. Does anyone have any thoughts on my question?
