I have some Beyer DT880's and were working fine for around 6 months when the sound almost completely disappeared from the right side, to the point where you can only hear a really fuzzy sound out of that side if you turn them right up, although it does sound like whatever you are listening to, it's not just a indistinct fuzz if you know what I mean. 
 
Just wondering what you guys think the problem might be and if I can fix it. Help appreciated.

The wire going through the headband is busted. 
 
Can you fix it:
maybe.
 
Are you experienced in the fine craft of soldering? 
If you are:
undo the headband pad
open the cups (pull off pads, there are little circular clips, they pop out with a screwdriver carefully placed between them and the outer shell, then the drivers and mounting boards fall out)
unsolder the cross-wires from both sides.
solder in new wires. Dont forget strain relief. 
reassemble. 
 
If you are not:
Send them to any of your favorite cable guys with $$$$ for a new cable. Alternately sell them on the FS forum.

That's annoying as have not soldered anything since i was about 13 in school so that's out of the question. Do you know what might cause that fault to occur?
