Busted Headphones

Hi I have a decent pair of Sony headphones I use to watch TV at night while my parents are asleep. They no longer play audio out of the right speaker; I suspect a broken circuit somewhere. Does that sound correct? Can somebody give me some guidance on how to repair them?
Thanks!

Are they corded or cordless? If they are corded the cord was always the first the first thing to go. That was pretty easy to diagnose as you could cause the problem by moving the cord. If they are cordless I'd start by doing a hard reset on both the headset and transmitter or delete and re-pair the Bluetooth connection.

Pilot Dane Just got around to testing the headphones today. I moved the cord around at junction points and was unable to get the right speaker to work again. Any ideas?
Thanks

It's probably a broken wire in the cord or where the cord meets the jack.
