Wow, I haven't looked at this thread in a long time.. 
 
Getting to the point, I woke up this morning, and as usual went to get my S500's so i could listen to some music while eating breakfast. Then I discovered that music was only coming out of the right ear

  I have absolutely no experience with welding or anything so I have no chance of welding on a new wire or whatever. I opened them up and everything seems to be connected okay and should be working just fine (with one exception, see below) but again, no experience with wires. 
 
  
 
 
The only thing that I noticed was wrong is the little piece of copper wire that is not attached to the rest of the copper wire.
If anyone could help me with this problem, advice and tips would be greatly appreciated.

Just pulled the trigger on these things, despite just having gotten the XBA-3s and having the T50RPs....curiosity just got the better of me, I will probably send them to a friend after burn in and seeing what sort of mod potential they may have for myself ~

It looks like the wire that goes to the voice coil, if that is the case then there is probably not much you are going to be able to do with it.
Getting a replacement driver from JVC would probably cost more than a new pair.
 
If you are going to toss them out them let me know, I could remove the CNT drivers and use the rest for a project.

Ic3M0nk3y - don't be too hasty; hard to tell from the pix, but i think these are repairable.  you need to determine where the broken wire connects and either re-solder or use some silver-based (or gold-) conductive epoxy.
