I found that simply replacing the broken cable and soldering into the PCB on the left earpiece is WAY simpler. I thought my headphones were done for so I opened them up and realised that it's actually quite easy to repair. However, for now I have repaired it with only the audio, no microphone. But I will search for a cable with 5 wires to repair that as well!
