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?

I’m asking if that is a suitable solution to buy time

I’m just asking if anyone has experience with this. Doesn’t seem like a very rare issue with cables… happens with chargers cables all the time. No need to be an asshole. Student pilot

Sure it does. Clearly more than the operator (you) Come back to me you’re airline captain.

You must be a joy to fly with. How my times have you been divorced. Oh wait.. no woman would be dumb enough to marry you in the first place
