The left channel in my Sennheiser 457 decided to die. I love the headphones to death, but this isn't the first time this has happened. It's still under warrantee and I got them fixed with zero hassle last time, but I'd rather not wait a week.
The problem seems simple enough: the wire seems to have been distended/pulled out. When I push it in at the right angle, it works again. Does anyone know a decent way to repair this without sending it back? My google-fu is weak and could not locate a guide.

My Sony MDR-V6 had a similar problem, only the wire had become pinched. I was fortunate in that there was enough slack in the wire that I was able to cut it at the break, then re-solder the end to the contacts on the speaker.
My guess is that anything you do to fix it will probably void the warranty. I recommend sending it in.
