Headphoneus Supremus
I live in Russia, so as I said earlier, warranty politics and returns here are just words - if something breaks - it's ALWAYS your fault and you should fix it by yourself (mostly with adhesive tape and rude language )
Sorry to hear that... unfortunately the headband construction does seem subpar. Which is really unfortunate...
BTW: working as a sound engineer I can only speak for applying enough tape in case of a problem -- one would not believe how many parties would not take place without duct tape Take a look at the 'Engineering Flowchart':

It should obviously have markings 'rude language' as well... as that sometimes does indeed help with problems
