when I touch 3,5mm plugin I can hear sound.
so I think that left side or wire is broken, is it possible to cut it open and rejoin wires?
or does it use that "plactic-wire" what cannot rejoin together after its broken?
or is there anything to do? plugins are very high quality, only problem is this plugin+wire are broken.
and quarantine doesnt give me news -.-
they cost 60 €

The cable is easy to fix.

just make sure to solder and keep all parts away from eachother

(you can just take the plugin part from some old stereo or whatever, and replace)

ye, i know that.
But main problem why I ask this is because I am not sure is those wires optic-wire (like plastic) I dont know can i melt 'em together :O

I don't think there's optic-wire in earplug cable... where would you get that idea?
What particular koss you got?

Also just read there's a Lifetime warranty on their products for initial user

Call the manufacturer before you do anything. Usually they will repair them, or send you completely new ones.

This, i wouldn't risk opening the wire, stripping and repairing etc. You usually don't do that. My speakers are 10 years ago (when 2.1 first came out i got Boston ones) And they still work fine, I guess Koss isn't that good with durability :P
