This problem started about 2 weeks ago, when I suddenly started to hear audio only in my right ear. I went through all the topics here, until I found an answer; by holding the headphone cable in a certain angle, it would work just fine. So I wrapped the cable around my left headphone, and it worked well for some time.

Lately, I've been having the same problem again. The temporary solution I found earlier no longer works. Yesterday, the headphones worked fine even without any weird tricks, but now only the right headphone works, no matter what I do.

Any help on this matter would be much appreciated.

That sounds like a broken wire.
The break will be around where you were holding the cable. If by "hold it at a certain angle" you mean at an angle into the headphone/plug then the break is in there.

Solution is to open it up, un-solder the connection, replace the cable, re-solder the connection.
If your break isn't in the actual device you could cut the cable somewhere where it is still intact instead and connect a new cable to there. Pro: easier; Con: worse solution and ugly.

Thanks for the answer. Though, as someone who sucks at all things technical, I think I'll be better off just buying a new pair of headphones. These ones weren't that expensive anyways.
