I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones that have cracked at the top of the headband. This means they don't put enough pressure on the side of the heads so they slip off. And, if I continue to use it anyway, then it's probably going to break completely. Other than the crack, the headphones work perfectly well. Here's a pic:
Given the headband is a relatively smooth curve and even curve, my thought was that I could get a piece of metal (of appropriate thickness), bend it to the similar curve of the headphones, place it along the top and then lash the two together with duck tape. It wouldn't be the prettiest fix but I'm okay with that.
Question is, do people think this'll work? What kind of metal should I use and where can I get it from?
Looking for a good reliable fix that is also as cheap as possible. These headphones are very comfortable and they work very well except for this crack. It is a common problem with these headphones as it has happened twice now with two purchases of the same headphones (I still have both and looking to repair both in the same way). I'm also hoping that whatever fix I do, will make the headphones more reliable and longer lasting than even a new pair of headphones and thus "why don't you just get another pair of headphones" answer isn't going to be very helpful.
Thoughts/suggestions?
