How to repair this broken plastic?

@mbenve super glue won't last. Those repairs are very difficult since there is movement on those parts. Common adhesives do not have the strength for this. The plastic for the headset is most likely some sort of HDPE etc. (just realized never seen a recycle symbol on a headset) I'd try something like Loctite Plastic's bonding or Scotch Weld DP8010 for this repair. The other thing you could try is an UV cure adhesive. You can find those on Amazon etc. If that does not work try to find a headset that is broken on the other side and transplant the parts from that.

I made the bottom hinge part https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:363870..., it screws in just like the original part, no need for zip ties ;)

Ok everyone I suggest sending it to skull candy. It doesn't need proof of purchase and they don't ask questions. Cost me $7 dollars and they sent a brand new one.

Is there a link to purchase the replacement parts. I prefer these headphones over the new kind.

superglue bakingsoada makes the bind ten times as hard
