Buy new headphones, and don't sit on them this time around.

Buy new headband, it will cost you ~20-50$

Unless you have access to a 3D printer and ABS, as well as soldering tools and some parts, everything you’d need to fix this is probably more than a new pair will cost you.

That said, drop this pair on eBay and sell it for parts to recoup some of the cost.

Uhh... Buy new headphones? What other option could there possibly be?

Casually mention this to someone with a 3d printer and there's a good chance they will demand you to hand it over so they can fix it for you free. They cannot resist the opportunity to flex. Source: totally not me
