    Be sure to use Audio grade glue, or you might alter the sound.

    These were not super high end but they are the first pair of decent headphones I have purchased. I loved( past tense :'(. ) using them for video games and movies more than music. ruiuutebr80s.jpg

    ouch.
    this is one thing that really annoys me about modern merchandise - so much stuff with a cost point that simply doesn't match its quality. I'm starting to feel like an old man as I think to myself more and more often, they just don't make things like they used to...

    yeah, I'd be trying to repair that, though given the tension, not sure how successful you might expect that to be.

    I tried to fix a broken pair of "Rock & Roll Hall of Fame" R/S headphones for my son, years and years ago now, and ran into the same problem (i.e., stress and molded plastic are pretty uncooperative).

    I once read an interview with the phenomenal Canadian songwriter/singer/guitarist Bruce Cockburn, in which he mentioned that, as a guitarist, he would often repair and reinforce his fingernails with superglue... but he wryly admonished that doing so after drinking was a recipe for disaster :-P

    EDIT: FWIW , from "The Cockburn Project"

    http://cockburnproject.net/
    Bruce never uses a plectrum or fingerpicks and plays very hard so he treats his fingernails regularly with Crazy Glue the application of which he warns with a voice of experience should "not be done when you're drunk."
    --from an Interview by James Jensen at Sunset Sound, Los Angeles, circa Spring 1993.
    2 November 1981 -

    Some odd & ends - comments that defy classification

    Q: A real practical question: playing fingerstyle, slamming the guitar, how do you keep your nails? The Pete Townsend school of manicure...

    BC: Well put... I coat them with Crazy Glue. You have to be very careful... you've got to make sure you don't get it anywhere but where you want to put it... when I first started doing it, I glued my fingers together...

    Q: It doesn't have any bad effects or anything?

    BC: It appears not to... I'm a little hesitant to recommend it to people...It does work, it makes them really strong. You can see this crusty little layer on here... it doesn't actually soak into the nails, but it really keeps them hard.

    If you are drinking enough to cause all this mayhem all the time,
    you may want to consider cutting your liver some slack.
