Headphone Wire Cracking Open... Any Thoughts?

[okara gold]

The outside black wire that attaches almost immediately to the headphone is completely cracked open and the inside white wire is cracked and showing copper. Any thoughts on how to repair this before it gets worse?
The headphones look to be sealed up firmly. Never took any apart before.
I do hunt salt water. Thanks!

Get an ikelite connector...cut the one off. Then reconnect the wires (solder and crimp connector with RTV)to the old one. Really pretty easy fix

Thanks Dew.... I have fixed the problem by cutting and soldering as you suggested. It was an easy fix!
