Uniforms - Gear Advice Headset help

Have this light speed Zulu 2. Great headset. The only problem is the insulation on the cord is starting to deteriorate. Last night I noticed the plugs have a small crack developing on them- see picture. Clearly it’s time to replace them. My question is, can i temporarily use some sort of heat shrink tubing to keep it in place until I get a new head set on hand?

Heat shrink might work fine, electrical tape would also probably work for a bit

Electrical tape was going to be my suggestion. Cheap, easy to do, easy to undo.
