Headphones giving me static

So a couple days ago, I noticed that when I'm playing around with itouch (tilting it, etc), I'm getting static. I try another pair of earphones, and it is fine. So my headphones are the culprit
The thing is, these are a very nice set of earbuds - I got them as a gift, and they're pretty expensive, so I don't want to just throw them away. What can I do to diagnose / fix the problem?
It looks like the problem is that when I try to bend the cord around the plug (where it connects to computer/iphone). If I don't touch it, it works fine. However, if the position of the cable closest to the plug changes, I get static. I think it might be a wire almost breaking? How would I check? If so, how would I fix this?
EDIT: found that it was the earphones, not the itouch, thanks Nappucchino
