I used your initial idea and melted metal needles as reinfocement in the broken hinge itself, I superglued the hinge with “instant cement” and then cut off the needles and grinded them to needed length. the hinge is now working perfectly, fold and swivel (till next time, anyways lol)

Thanks so much for your brilliant, and also funny repair videos! I have the Sony MDR 1000X headphones and they are broken on the side, where they apparently usually break most often. Would you recommend using a hot plastic welding machine for these headphones too? The top outer plastic part is only about a millimetre thick, so I'm not sure if that is too thin for melting metal parts into it with that machine. Or is it enough to just do the baking soda super glue trick?

[@TechscrewDIY]

metal always gives extra strength, but if you don't have space for metal, you can use baking soda only. I have for gluing repair two 1000mk2 and 4 models, I will definitely film the gluing process

[@Bboyduck]

what happen to the rotating plastic ?
does it still work ?

[@TechscrewDIY]

of course not, that's why the headphones broke, the more moving parts, the more problems

[@n00bracer]

...or you could 3d print new parts in and retain its ability to fold or swivel

[@TechscrewDIY]

has anyone designed this part for 3d printer?

[@n00bracer]

@@TechscrewDIY there's one in Thingiverse that, however, loses the ability to fold the headphones and there's another one that should retain it. Went with the ones that cant since they're easier to print and put the wire in. My M40x broke on the same part as in your video. Had to remove the ear cup though and unsolder the wire to remove the broken piece out and put the 3d printed one in. It's been like this for almost 2 years now

PLS HELP ME FIX THIS ISSUE:(

[@TechscrewDIY]

first try new cable for headphone or with multimeter check wires.

[@JackPeloquin]

Damn… this is exactly how mine broke! Not sure how I managed. Now I gotta decide whether to fix em.

[@Funguspower2]

not your fault, those hinges are a terrible design, many others have shared this fate.
