Hi all,
Well today I did a very dumb thing. I noticed that one of the pieces of the 'frame' of the headphone was a little bent.

Well my dummy self thought I could just bend it back slowly thinking it'd be no harm, till I heard a snap.
Without a doubt I broke it, I thought it'd be fine, but as soon as I put my headphone on I noticed there was no sound on my right speaker.
That's when it dawned on me what the actual purpose of that 'frame' was.
Shame me all you want, I deserve it for not knowing what it actually was, but I feel bad that my 6-8+yr partner was just offed by my own stupidity.
I thought it was a complex 'hard' cable but seems to be just a pure solid block of metal of sorts by the looks of it (being hopeful here)
I dunno if I should just call AKG and mail it to them to service it or have some third party repair specialist to replace that one piece. Maybe if 'removing' the black film could be done then just melt solder in what I would presume is the cracks would fix the issue, but honestly I'd also just be down to replace the piece entirely.
Thanks in advance.
