Hello!
Some time back I had an accident with my bike, in which the cable to my DJX-1 was in the wrong place. Instead of the headphones flying off my head and smash to the ground, or the cable break, the headband snapped right off in the extendable part above the right speaker.
I bought it second hand and have no insurance, and have not contacted Beyerdynamic to see what it would cost to fix. I don't know if you can buy a new headband from the same or another model and use that? The cables are fine so the headphone still works, and the pieces fit together. So is there any good way to repair it yourself? Maybe a really strong glue and some metal reinforcement? Or is a new headband the best alternative?
I have a similar problem with my Steelseries Siberia, that got a crack from frequent use and eventually broke. I don't use them much, but it would be nice to be able to sometimes - they are extremely comfortable.
Thanks beforehand!
