Where the cable reaches the end of the plastic cover is weak, audio cuts out in one ear unless I keep it held down, I think that part of the cable has bent too much over time. I thought I'd cut the cable and solder it back onto the plug but I can't remove the plastic cover at all. Any ideas on...

I've been using the FiiO X3 mk1 for years, upgraded to the mk3 but hated the lack of bass and warmth so had to go back to my old mk1.
