How hard can headphones cable take?

[Austin Powers]

Earlier today my sister ran and rush to the front of the television to take the wireless phone at the back at the television because dad calls. So this shit happens, she ran and stepped on my headphone wire that is already plugged in. The wire comes off due to the impact she stepped.

 

Anyway, if the phones starts to die, is it possible to change the wires?

 

EDIT : I forgot, she somehow avoid stepping on the other cable because that braided cable skin is hard like a rock.

i would worry more about the socket than the cable

Confused, so what do you want to know cause first you talk about a phone then headphone wires :L , so what exactly do you need to know? , the socket is more fragile than a wire

Um, I wanted to know if there is any chance the headphones will die if she stepped on the wire and it comes out unnaturally?

yes their is a chance but you would notice as the wire out be yanked out of the headphones them selves/ crackling it the sound coming though the headphones

Well, not going to RMA it, I make her pay for a new one if the sound cranks up or static sound starts to barge in through the headphone speakers. I'm controlling my anger, if it dies, I'm going to rage on her face  >.<.

You should be fine, the amount of times I have ripped my headset cable out of things by mistake is well... very high. The Socket might take some damage if the plug pulled out in a really angular direction, for a straight pull out the things are designed to release fairly easily to avoid damage.

 

This applies to other things like laptop power cables which release if the cable is pulled, This is why I love the macbook magnetic chargers. I really wish they could do something like that for headphones.

No though, she's on period maybe. Sometimes she threw herself on the sofa taking a rest and mumble saying that "why is it so hot and headache". When she did something wrong or something like above she done. I asked her nicely "Did you step on my headphones wire?". She never admit that she step but I saw her step because I was sleeping and the phone rang to make me wake up. But before I could rush to get the phone, she was there, rushing before I get them. The part she didn't admit, I asked her countless times but in a different way until I break the egg without raging or shouting at her until she gave up. She know she did something wrong, she yelled at me as though I'm the one who in the wrong side. This usually happens, when she yelled at me back in other incident, dad always come and whack and slap me for no reason and there is nothing to prove. I never do anything wrong. Final thing, when I yell at someone if I'm not wrong in the event, I always ended up beaten by my dad for no reason. But dad always accuse me because I'm the eldest.

For many headphones, it's easy to do a removable cable mod, or just replace the cable. Pretty easy if you know how to solder.
