Default Earphone repair

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...er/5347445.htm

Have a pair of those and they've been fine with daily use for 6 months or so. At the weekend the wires gone, messing about with it next to the plug cuts the earphones in and out.

Is it possible to put another plug on the end? Or should I just buy some new uns?

My earphones never seem to last when used on the bike, I've been through a fair few pair, I always just buy cheap ones though just in case the more expensive ones prove no more robust!

Ahh it promotes a nice relaxed riding style. Honest.
