Hi guys,
 
I have done something rather foolish and accidentally broken off one of the earcups from the headband on my HIFIMAN HE500s
 
There are 2 little screws that are fixed underneath the material on the headband and I cannot see a way of screwing the screws back into the fixing on the cup.
 
Anyone got any ideas?
 
I am in the UK so if anyone knows of companies that do headband replacement/repair I would be most grateful!
 
Thanks

Why not contact your local Hifiman retailer? they may be able to give you assistance

Thanks, will try. Not sure who the official UK HiFiMAN contact point is?

My pair just suffered the exact same damage. I bought them on ebay and I don't have their documents (so I can send them back to HiFiMAN for repair). I personally haven't used them in an irresponsible way. The plastic fixing that the two screws go into seem to have cracked and the screws just won't stay fixed. I have no idea what I can do. Any suggestions?

Hey, I am tempted to take off the leather headband just to get access to the screws. I have some friends who are good with sewing so will get a new pad and leather and suppose I could call them customised headphones then?
Very annoying thought a very bad design by HiFiMAN!

Where'd you buy them from? If you got them online, like from Head Direct, then send them an email.
