The connector seperated from the wire (rubber sheath has come off)

Device still works... doesn't seem to cause any issues in the sound

Just shove glue in there to fill up the empty space?

heatshrink, dont glue it. Do it right.

Usually when I see that, it means the wires themselves are likely stressed or damaged. Might be better off chopping it and putting a new connector on.

This is exactly why i recomended heatshrink, as it will offer strain relief of the connection which is likely already stressed. But as long as they still work then the connection is still good, so heatshrink it and call it a day.

jam the jacket back in and glue gun the two parts together.

Then I'd be compromising the connection by jamming it back in, the rubber part actually just slid off whcih you cant slide back on

Heatshrink looks like the best way... the better long term solution after that is a new connector agreed..

no you are not compromising the connection, it was in there before it separated
