A very common fault is a broken headphone lead at the point where it enters the jack connector. If the outer insulation is starting to crack, you're on borrowed time! A simple solution is to repair it with Sugru. This comes in a mouldable putty-like form and sets within 24 hours to synthetic rubber. Mould a little around the cable to protect the damaged section, moulding it onto the connector to prevent movement and thinning progressively away from the connector so avoiding any point at which he cable can be sharply bent.
