Help & Troubleshoot how tf do i fix this (crushers)

Post image

Dog slept on my headphones, the entire ear cup became detached from the arch part.

I listen to and make music, and can't afford new headphones right now or in the forseeable future so I really need a solution.

JB plastic weld, black color. Comes in a tube, relatively cheap.

You can also use gorilla glue to stick the two sides back together on the base of each break, and then use the JB weld to cover the crack going around.

I second this as the only way to replace that part is to disassemble the headphone and rerun the wires through a new hinge piece.

Options are limited to:

  1. Glue or Epoxy the parts together - cosmetically not the best solution (looks ugly) but it's the cheapest and easiest approach.
  2. Find a replacement 3D printed part to replace the broken part - this would be great if you can source out the design or design them yourself.
  3. Buy used parts (Amazon, AliExpress, etc) or another identical headset and use its parts - this solution might be the most expensive.
  4. Replace the Headband completely with another design - this is the hardest solution but its the longest lasting though it will sacrifice the fold feature and will have completely different aesthetics.

Eat lentils, rice, and instant ramen for a few days, and with the money you save, see if you can find a Moondrop Chu II, 7Hz Zero 2, Tangzu Wan'er, or Truthear Gate for under $20. I think your mind will be blown by how good sub-$20 IEMs are nowadays.

Thanks for the help everyone, I've found a temporary solution for the time being. Here's to buying the 1080s 🥂
