You probably need to replace the stereo plug on the end that goes into the jack. Most of them are molded on unfortunately but it can be done with a new jack and some soldering skills. There have been lots of people with the same problem on this site so there are already some good explanations of how to do this on here.

May be a little late for you, but both of my pads burst open, and after trying in vain to tell Bose how **** their products were (because they are) I decided to fix them myself rather than give Bose more money, allowing me to keep using my headphones until I buy another pair (from another manufacturer). Anyway, you can buy new pads off eBay, there seem to be a few on there, or, to fix yourself as I did, you can just pop the pads off (they clip on), then take a needle and thread and stitch the pads back together at the seam. This is a bit tedious, and you obviously have to jam the foam in there while you're doing it, but mine are now better than new (because my threads are stronger than the apparent **** glue that Bose uses). Takes a little time if you're not a big sewer (which I am not) but it's well worth the effort in my opinion. Gives you a great like-new pair of headphones...until the next thing breaks, and trust me, something will, it's Bose!

You will have to strip back enough wire length on the wires and also on the jack (or a good new and used jack with wires coming out of it) and wrap or solder them together, then wrap them in tape or coat with nail polish, and tape when they dry. Sometimes it just won't work, sometimes it can, just depends. Since the wires are usually multiwired and lacquer-coated, it is tricky and very hard. You have to separate the thin cloth fibers used for strength, and then scrape the lacquer off with an exacto knife, scraping the ends repeatedly. It's a delicate and hard operation. After the lacquer is off, wrap the ends together, or carefully solder if you can. Be careful soldering, since it's easy to burn up the super thin wires with too much heat.
These items are not designed or built to be fixed, or serviced, but sometimes you can get lucky. I used to do it, but it's a **** shoot whether it will really work, is tedious and takes awhile, and then there's no guarantee how long .
Good luck, wish there was better or easier news.
