Today, I was listening to music while I wrapped Christmas presents. All was going well when the music was cut off, literally. I snipped the cable to my very expensive headphones in half. FML

I promise I won't be dull and make any puns on this one. I promised to cut it out. Instead, I'll think of something more cutting edge. I'm at a loss at this point, probably due to this splitting headache. I'd probably butcher any attempt at being a cut-up anyway, so I'll just cleave it alone. That's what I get for paring humor and wit.

just saucer it back together, then heat shrink cable insulation around it, total repair cost: $5

Saucer? You want OP to eat his headphone cord for $9 worth of sauce? Horrible advice. However, if that word is replaced with solder...then that comment makes sense.

A saucer is a small plate on which a teacup rests. It doesn't have anything to do with sauce.

I hope whoever's gifting you expensive new headphones, gifts you paper cutting scissors too :p

Yes, all brokers recognize the nice rate of return on a set of speakers. My kid's college fund is in speakers. YOU MEAN "PURCHASE" AND NOT "INVEST", YOU ******* RE-RE!

^^^ Get some help for that anger. "Invest" is a figure of speech in this case. If you spend money on good speakers, you don't have to worry about later spending on earphones that break, or that you break yourself. It's obvious they weren'tbtelling OP to get some stocks.

Actually not a figure of speech but a correctly used word. Investment is not limited to stocks, it's defined as "to put (money) to use, by purchase or expenditure, in something offering potential profitable returns, as interest, income, or appreciation in value." As was said, the profitable returns of speakers is that they do not have to worry about wasting further money due to cut cords.

Wirecutters, soldering iron, electrical tape. Seriously super easy.

thank you! I can't believe it took so long for someone to mention that there is such an easy solution. you don't even need the soldering iron. just use electrical tape if you're feeling lazy.

This is why you need backup. I use my big ones when I'm on the computer, and have three cheap ones laying around somewhere.
