The tip of Westone UM1 broken

[nopietns]

Got my IEM broken - the tip on which You put the sleeves on - has broken off. Wondered if anyone knew what plastic are these IEMs made of and which could be the best glue to fix them.

Thanks

Basic super glue will work. Is it a clean break of the nozzle from the body?

Why not send them to Westone? Shure helped me with the same problem by replacing my SE210's

Thanks for the replies,

the nozzle has broken off with a little piece of the body as well, so the surface for pasting the together isn't that small.
Superglue usually changes the structure of plastics too much and it becomes fragile, so I was wondering if there's no specific glue for plastics, something like the one You use for those plastic models of tanks and warships.

I guess I could send an email to Westone and ask if they'd care to replace my headphones. But since I bought them used (no papers'n'stuff), and I broke them, I see no reason they should do that.

Where are you located? I see it say EU in the sig to the left. We might be able to see if Variphone (our EU dealer) has some parts to fix that for you.
