DT 770 driver repair question

[Kivaz]

I have had these headphones for about two and a half years now. 250 Ohm version. I started getting no sound from the right driver. I know it was probably a loose connection. I went to re-solder and one of the tabs came off. There are two very fine wires that are connected to each tab.
 
Not sure if you can see in the picture, any advice on how to fix this? Can I just solder the two wires to the tab and glue it back on. Looks like it was glued in the first place.
 
 
Thanks in advance.

Ack 
Too much heat. Or more likely not enough heat, but for too much time. 
 
Most preferred solution:
Put the driver on the floor - a good cement basement/garage floor or maybe an asphalt driveway. 
Hit it with a hammer. 
Hard. 
This way you will not waste more time trying to fix them. 
Then buy a new driver from Beyer. 
 
Second solution:
If you can access the driver voice coil wire (they normally break inside the driver when the pins come off) strip the enamel off with nail polish remover and solder a new wire to it **VERY** carefully. The wires are fine enough that the soldering iron can actually vaporize them as they solder! Crazy! Anyways, once you get the 2 wires soldered together figure out a way to make sure that the joint NEVER experiences any mechanical stress. Hot-gluing it to the board is probably a good idea. Be liberal with the hotglue - fixes like this are usually a one-shot-effort. If this does not work resume preferred solution. 
 
Third solution:
Throw your hands up in the air. Exclaim "ooh ****!" with an English accent and sell them for a few dollars on the FS board.

I vote for solution #1 and #3 together.

Will go the preferred route. Very little experience soldering delicate items, Looks like I need to read some more.
 
I am pretty sure you are correct on not enough heat for too much time. The solder was not melting like it should.
 
Thanks for the info, I think the new drivers go for 50$ or might be time for a new set of headphones.

You may also be able to send them back to Beyer.
