i know this is an old question but it pops up on google first, so for future breakage, the way i do it is with super glue and tissue paper...just wrap a couple layers of tissue around the break and saturate the paper with super glue. works like the baking soda super glue method, but a lot easier. the paper and glue dries hard as !&&* and it is easy to reinforce or add layers to certain parts. its like instant cement, looks like crap though but hey if it looks stupid but it works it aint stupid

Use ABS cement and acetone to fuse the plastic together, as per this guide. This is the kind of thing autobody guys do all the time. Also, bondo.

I bent metal banding using a vise, carefully wrapped it around the headband, clamped it in the vise, drilled one hole straight through, bolted it which holds it all in place, then drilled and bolted the other three holes. The other side of the headphone looked like it was breaking too so I repaired it as well.

"looks the only chance you have is to use 2 component glue, and maybe something to reinforce the joint.

But if the original is desintegrating, you're out of luck - may have to fashion somthing out of an aluminium bar or such"
