I was recently watching Youtube and i went to stand up and my headphones snagged on my chair and now the sound is distorted. It goes from just making the sound quieter but other times it makes it completely incomprehensible depending on the noise being produced. I have checked it on both my pc and phone so i know that it is a problem with the headphones and not the audio port. my headphones are the Sound Blaster Tactic3D Fury from Creative. Is there any way to possibly fix them or are they essentially trash?
 
the first thing i would check is to see if bending the wire has any effect. then you may need to do some disassembly to make sure the wire connections inside arent screwed up. generally just look for anything that looks damaged. typically though a wire or connection issue doesnt cause distortion but spotty sound. that would be fixable. if you are getting some really nasty distortion though it could be that you damaged the drivers in which case its not.

you will need to take them apart to see what exactly is wrong with them.

i take it that you mean the headphone cable snagged on the chair (not the headphones themselves)?
