So my Siberia V2 has a left and right ear pad like normal headsets, but the right has "stopped" working. And by that i mean if i wiggle around with the plug in cable, that i have connected to whatever i want to hear sound from, the sound sometimes comes back. But it isn't back for that long, when i let go it vanishes again. Don't bother asking me to open it, have already tried, didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

I assure you, it has everything to do with the wires inside (unless the headphones work on another device, and not your computer?). If the headphones work fine on another device, then your jack on your computer is broken. The tape trick will work for a time, but eventually even that will fail. You can fix the wires, or cut out the bad spot and solder a new (I assume it's a 3.5mm jack) jack onto the cable.

You won't see anything out of the ordinary. There's a minuscule break in the wire, and the wires are usually quite tiny (and I mean tiny). Over time, they develop fatigue cracks, and either break completely or short out.

If it's under warranty I suggest getting a replacement. If not, better start reading up on how to repair headphone wires. I personally, on my headset when the wires went out (inside the headband), just completely re-wired the headset with some 24guage wire that I have running out of holes I drilled in the cups, up and over the headband. It took me a few hours to do. If that's too difficult, then I would suggest just getting a new pair.

The only good news for you is that you have 1 speaker per cup, vs the 3 per cup in mine, which should simplify the repair.

Funny thing is that, it seems to be the plug in thingy. I kept trying to find the sweet spot where both worked, and now i have taped it to never get out of that position and it works really well right now. So i'm not sure it has anything to do with the inside cables.
