It's true that the shrink tubing may make the cord more rigid where applied, depending on the tubing you use. But the trade-off is you get to continue to use your headphones.

Searched but only found 6-3 shrink tubes, that didnt fit on the plug, ant seem to find ones with glue, can I do somethink else?

It's sometimes easier just to replace the device, but if you really need to fix it you can buy the heatshrink tubing with glue inside (get a size big enough to fit over the connector, like 1" dia) and just kinda squeeze it together while it's burn-your-hand-hot. It's crude but works.

Alternately get a hot glue gun, put a dab in that area and quickly (while it's molten) wrap the area with some type of material like electrical tape carefully.
