Hi - first post, pretty ignorant so apologies.
I have a pair of audio technica ATH-ES7s. I've been really happy with them. Then the right can stopped working.
I've opened up both cans, on the right side I connected a 3.5mm jack from an audio source onto the driver connects - sound comes back.
Conclusion: rhs wire is broken somewhere along the length of the cable.
The cable has 3 wires - green / red / copper as left/right/ground respectively.
The driver end looks like this:

Not an amazing pic - two wires are red and copper on the right can. I assume the copper splits as the ground and the other can has green and copper.
Ok onto the question - I figured this was an opportunity to improve my ES7s. I came up with 2 ideas:
1. replace the cable with a better one - where to buy a male split cable of good quality? Don't want to make my own
2. put jacks into the cans and have a detachable cable. I can see two challenges with this, first is getting a small enough jack into each can, second is getting a male to male split cable to plug into it. Does anyone know if such jacks hardware exists and if such cabling exists off the shelf?
Apologies for what are likely basic questions and if I've missed out information please tell me.
