I think I could use Poxipol but i think it could be the same trouble than using SuperGlue.

are you able to also fix the wiring?
if that part is plastic you can try to melt it back together and melt some reinforcing around that

>>1089748
forget the wiring part, i just saw the first pic closer
you could also try some regular epoxy or jb weld

No repair short of replacing the headband would be acceptable.

Replacing the headband fails the cost-benefit question. These disposable consumer electronics are almost never worth your time to fix when they shit the bed. It is time to buy a new pair of headphones.

>but muh sentimental value
Place them in your keepsake box and just buy a new pair.

he seems like he has the time and patience for it
I'd say he should just go through with repairing them

If you have steady enough hands you could drill out some of the centre of the plastic where it's has snapped and insert metal/plastic or even wooden pins/dowel and then Expoy, looking at your pics there is already a centre-hole there for you as a guide.

It's what i'd do

what kind of plastic? 2-part epoxy or model glue? also, who the fuck designs a part like that out of plastic?

Did a quick image for you.

Get your centre holes true enough, grease free, with long enough pins etc and you'll end up with a repair stronger than the original

>2-part epoxy or model glue?

I'd use 2-part Epoxy, model glue may melt the plastic

>>1089766

pins + epoxy: think this is a solid choice.

>model glue may melt the plastic
that's the point.

I usually try to repair things like this also because I want to see if I can and learn while doing so. Like >>1089762 said, you need some reinforcing material there also, maybe a also bit of plastic tube around the things if you can find something suitable.

The truth is though that even if that fix holds some other part will break sooner or later. If they made them to last longer they couldn't sell you a new pair as often.

>>model glue may melt the plastic
>that's the point.

I was just thinking if the model glue/joint fails he'd end up with 2 melted surfaces, also model glue may permanently soften the plastic, though model glue is designed for Polystyrene and ABS which I think the headphones may be made from i'm not sure

Could try fibre glass sheets with epoxy you get it for fixing car bumpers in a kit.

Sand and paint. It'd be strong and flexible wouldn't look too good though but it'd do a job.

Op here. I feel so grateful for all your replies. As you said I'll do the "hole in the center" fix, with the epoxy part.

I thought about the plastic belt around where it broke, if it was just 1cm above it would be a great way to fix it, but I only have like 2mm to work with in the speaker part, so it won't really keep anything together. On the other hand, I'm thinking about a hood-like solution which embraces a little part of the big plastic part of the speaker along with the other "U" part. Together with the rod and epoxy it should work perfectly.

I'll make a new thread with the process if this one dies.

>beats
more like beat ups, am i right?

>>1089739
use the holes that the broken 'strands' go through. scrap that shit from there. screw two screws through the whole effectively fixing the sidephone to the chassis. regulate the other side to fit head.

ugly? yes
done? yes

profit? absolutely

they have taken more of a beating from me not knowing how to solder enamel coated wires in the beginning

Op headphones your mum bought are low end crap, she probably doesn't know anything about them, and bought them cause she thought they would look cool to you, if that's true just buy a higher end model that looks similar and she'll probably never even realise. Unless you've had them for a while then I can maybe understand your sentiment but come on these are one of the cheapest Sony on ear headphones you can get

ALL Sony headphones break - nothing to do with 'low end crap' or 'cheapest you get' - above (one model) is definitevely neither, AND IT STILL ends up fuXored, everytme.

how can i meet this woman?

>>1089766
this is the way to go, OP. drill + paperclip + glue and you're set

>>1089739
Not possible without reinforcing with metal or wood. But they're cheap so just buy new ones.

Also, don't buy anything else. Those ones are fucking awesome. I'm on my third pair - wish the build quality was better
