My alessandro ms1 broke :( Hoping i could get some help fixing them ( seems like a simple fix)

My issue is simple.

 

384413_293994597289594_100000371679851_1028531_1470711125_n.jpg

 

The left side usually screws into the ear cup but the screw has become loose and the ear cup constantly comes loose and falls out. I usually don't have the issue when i just sit and use them on my head but when i take them off the ear cup slides right out.

 

 

I was hoping you could help me fix this issue.

 

Would super gluing the ear cup back solve this issue?

 

Thanks for the help

I'd recommend using hot glue, so that it can be removed if you make a mistake.  I'm assuming that you're talking about this:

Yeah, I'd say a glue gun, that way its reversible if anything goes wrong.

What james said.. just tell allessandro what happened. They should send you a new one. otherwise, i'd use superglue.

Just sent alessandro an email telling them what happened and have posted a picture. I hope they see it and are willing to fix or replace it. I hope i don't have to pay to much to ship it to them as they are in the usa and i'm in canada.

I would have gone with epoxy but hot glue is better than superglue. hot glue remains slightly flexible after hardening, super glue becomes brittle. I had bonded a sr60 in that fashion with superglue in the past and it didn't hold up well.

 

this is surprisingly tame for a bcasey25raptor broken product thread.

Probably because it looked like a simple fix. And they were only $99.

hmm. Epoxy would work well. If the hot glue stops working I would go with that next.

Epoxy/superglue all the way. This happened with mine, and just put a little in therre and push/ twist to secure it. I wouldnt send it back, its a simple glue matter =)
