If you bought it new 2 months ago take it back under warranty, if not new then you need to cut off the end and repair/reconnect it further up the cable past the bad bit

This is very common with Skull Candy headphones as the jacks are very poorly made. I went through 4 pairs of them within 4 months. Unless you want to buy a new pair every month, buy a reliable brand (Sony, Panasonic, etc.). You can however get them replaced with the same product by visiting: http://ca.skullcandy.com/warranty-information.html Hope this helps
SkullCandy headphones have a lifetime limited warranty (that's usually a 10 year warranty). You should be able to get it repaired by visiting this page and following the instructions: http://www.skullcandy.com/warranty-information.html
If you purchased them used or from a friend or something, or you don't have proof of purchase (if you bought them online you can usually print out a receipt from the e-tailer), then SkullCandy will probably not repair them for you [sucks, I know, but there's nothing I can do about that].
The wire is broken. Unless you are good at splicing small broken wires, you are better off replacing them. The wires are fragile and can easily break if repeatedly strained. My son goes through ear-buds at the rate of one a month, Sorry for the bad news.
Skull Candy rarely has issues in the manufacturing process, but mistakes can happen to the best of us. Skull Candy has a lifetime warranty against defects on all their products, so if you contact the company they should be able to guide you through the replacement process. It sounds like too much stress was put on the cord, however. This can happen just from having the headphones in your pocket without being in a good quality case.
It is likely that your right stereo channel has either been severed somehow or there is a severe short in one of the cables. What you can try to do to test this theory is first turn on your music. Then wiggle the cable at the very base of the right earbud. If nothing happens wiggle the cord right where it connects to the stereo jack. If still nothing happens run your fingers along the right earbud audio cable bending and twisting it. If at any point you hear music again then you likely have a short. If it is near the earbud then it is going to be difficult to fix since these earbudfs have a large gauard. If the short is at the stereo jack then the fix is simple. A standard 1/8" stereo jack can be purchased from any electronics or audio store. You can then fairly easily seperate teh old stereo jack and solder this new one in place. Search the internet for tutorials on how to do this if need be. Even if you do not get any kind of sound when wiggling it at the base of the jack this is the most likely culprit since this is where most of the stress on the headphones occur. Be wary though, if you do attempt a stereo jack repair you will void whatever kind of warranty your earbuds may have so check before you try. But, in teh end you may end up saving a 60-100 dollar set of earbuds for 5-8 dollars. Hope this helped.
