Such is the nature of stranded wires, they're preferred because of their flexibility but the compromise always means shorter lifespan, they break and fray much faster than solid wire. Unless you actually want to replace the length of cord yourself (which means cutting it at each end before the plugs, finding some stranded wire of similar gauge, stripping back the remaining cord length at the speaker and jack without accidentally chopping the remaining wires up, splicing the old remaining wires to the new length of wire, and heat shrinking or taping it up, and then hoping it was the wires that were the problem in the first place and not actually the plugs) then you're looking at buying a new set of speakers. **** happens, stuff breaks. You could always try fixing it first, it'll be fun anyway, provided you don't have to go out and buy wire strippers, wire, and electrical tape etc. You don't have to solder the wires if you don't have a soldering iron / solder laying around (unless you're trying to fix the actual plugs), it's just a more reliable way of making connections, you could easily get away with simply twisting the wires together nicely for at least a temporary fix.
