How do you fix the broken swivel part on them?

I got them this last Christmas and I broke them around 2 months ago when my mom told me my dad had a cancerous brain tumor. I dropped them on the hospital ground when she told me and the swivel part broke. The chord is still attatched and they still work but the one side hangs by the chord inside the headphones.

Hi guys I have this problem, if you undo the screws, remove the metal plate and snapped off piece and then cut away on the other end of the snapped piece (thays still attatched to the headphones) untill it's pretty much flush then scuff each surface you can just super glue the ear piece back onto the band, it's the only solution I can find, I'll update you if it doesn't work but it looks alright just means you lose the pivot function, but with the big squashy earpads I think the fit shouldn't be effected as long as you superglue it flat! (Once you do this though there's no going back

"I opened the area up where the swivel piece is located and super glued it. I worked all of 2 hours before my son dropped the headphones and the broke again. The part I need is specific to ordering it...Really simple to repair, I just need the part. You might be able to go here to order the part. I'll check tomorrow to see and provide my results here.

Good fix Jaz. This isn’t a spam link - it shows very clearly how to drill through the two broken pieces with a 1.5mm bit (I think a 1/16” bit would work in the US) and use two of the casing screws to hold the broken pieces together. No glue, thread, or soldering.

It's not that simple to repair the hinge, as soon as you remove the screws you'll see that the wire is direct connected to it with no option to disconnect unless you disassemble it all
