Welp, my replacement headphones (replaced December of last year because my original pair's yoke broke), also broke. The plastic piece on the bottom of the headband, next to the leather, that holds the headphone length in place and covers up the wire, popped off. The plastic is shorn and I can't get it to stay in place. I may try duct tape or something just to hold it on.
I already submitted a ticket to Audeze, but I'm curious if anyone else had this issue, and if they were able to find a serviceable solution. It's disappointing how bad the structural support of these headphones can be, but I keep coming back to them because they sound so good.
