Anyone know how to fix them? I don't have a soldering iron or anything, but I've heard you can just burn the wires around the break. My skullcandy headphones broke(I'm getting a refund on them) and I've been wire stripping some other ones looking to fix them.

Depends on where the break is.

Just have to cut it and use the solder. But depends where it broke like bandit said
PMW is all I really need

You may not even have to solder, you can just "snip strip twist and tape" if it's just the wire and not near either end.

Soldering is often the better option in combination with tape.

Hmm.... I've stripped the wires of some headphones all the way down and they don't have a break, so I guess all the headphones must be broken at the jack/speaker?

Most likely the speaker. Best option is to solder ends again, but I've fixed them with tape before (tape is really only a short term fix)
