I bought a Sony Xb30ex in early 2013 and It "broke" in early 2014 ,I get sound from only one channel and it's Jack needs to be "twisted" gently to a certain angle to get sound from both Channels.

Question: I've a old Samsung earphone(with mic) laying around which has three wires, BLACK, GREEN, RED. I don't know what kind of wiring is inside XB30EX but if possible can I use Samsung's Jack? I don't wanna go into soldering , fixing wires is easier for me.

Just asking before I tear up my earphones cable!

Typically, the wires inside these earphones are tiny, and they're often coated so twisting them together will not work. It probably takes a bit of skill to solder them together too. It would be simplest to buy a new jack and have that soldered on, if you can find someone to do the job.
