I've fixed a few Sony mdr 7506 the same way.

Edit: had to look up the color of wires in the plug. Green is left (tip of the 3.5mm plug), red is right channel (ring of the plug) and the common is copper or brass colored.

PM me if you need help.
Thanks for the help. Ended up running the wire over a flame briefly then using the brush on the Dremel tool to clean up it up. Seems to have worked fine. Took a foot out of the cord so hopefully it won't be getting caught on things. Pretty sure my daughter bent down to tie her shoes, ended up stepping on the wire, then stood up. Oops! Going to have to teach the kid to solder.
