Hello, everyone

does anybody here have an experience with broken hinge on Audio-Technica headphones? I had my ATH-M40X headphones for something like a year now and unfortunately, I was not taking proper care of them as I should. Now the hinge on the right side is broken :(. Do you know if it is possible to buy spare parts? I tried contacting Audio-Technica support, but did not get any response yet. I also tried to repair them by 3D printing the broken part, but the model I found didn’t fit well.

I am located in Czechia/Slovakia.

    Take pics. It’s a weak point in their yoke / hinge design but likely fixable.

      Sorry, but I don’t know how to add photo to the post or to comment in this subreddit. Respectively, Reddit does not allow me to add the photo.

    So, I glued it together with epoxy. It was the only strong “glue” I had. It works for now, with bit of a luck it will be ok.

    So, the epoxy I used didn’t hold very well, but I got a response from the support, and now I am able to buy the spare parts.
