Super glue or similar. Just use a little and keep it clean. Then you can file down rough edges. Just tape around where you are filing so you don't scuff them up.

You'll need to reinforce it with another material accross the break, then glue/epoxy/tape it. Without the reinforcement it will just break again immediately. Paper clips, scrap plastic, scrap metal, popsickle stcks, whatever you got. It'll look like ass though.

acetone welding would give a strong result but headphones like these are designed cheaply and always seem to break in the exact same spot.

Easy, throw them out and buy proper headphones instead. Like Sennheiser.

Creative Aurvana Live. Best headphones you can get for 50€. Probably best you can get under 100€ even.

Senn's HD201 are like twenty bucks, and are by far the best price/performance 'phones out there. Plus they tend to last.

I would try to fix it with polymorph plastic. See if you can get it on your country, that air is great.

>> No.953425

You can fix it by dissolving the plastic with acetone.
Plastic welding is known to provide an ~80% original strength bond. Considering it broke already, it's likely that a glue solution isn't going to do it for you.

Honestly the best thing to do is to buy headphones that aren't designed like garbage, but for now you should just use epoxy.
