Purchase advice: user serviceable headphones

Hi, I would like to know if anyone can recomend a model or brand of headphones for which replacement parts are easily available.

For anyone interested, I’ve had a pair of Sony MDR-1RBT headphones for about 5 years now and the plastic hinge holding the left earcup snapped on me. To my profound disillusion, I discovered that this and every other part of the device is not sold by the manufacturer or any third party, and “for pieces” damaged products are not available in the used market either. I’ve managed to superglue the whole thing together for now, but I’m afraid this solution is unreliable at best and can only be temporary. If anyone could sell me a pair of broken headphones of this specific model, that would be very welcome too.

tl;dr: need recommendations for user serviceable headphones

What you can do on moderate tension parts to create a more permanent fix as well is to use baking soda and super glue. It holds so well you can’t tell if it’s blended as well. I don’t know how well this will work, but if you can get it in the inner band (and put some on the broken part to hold it, it won’t be 100% new but it should hold nearly as well.

For quite some time both the power button and volume down on my laptop were broken but mostly an issue I can live with since I had a palmrest without a power button and took the volume button off of that and reinstalled it with that fix. Since I couldn’t get a power button, I reinforced the broken one. You can’t tell because it’s internal and behaves like it’s factory. I know I probably should have bought another palmrest and sold the useless one as-is, but I’m going to be upgrading to a newer laptop (used enterprise) so I would rather keep the money and patch the issue.

@fargoflagrant The only clue I repaired the old part is I didn't do a complete button set replacement since I didn't want to waste the set just in case the rest fail, but it holds up perfectly.

@fargoflagrant most of the external casing parts of any headphone is almost impossible to source. No matter who the maker of the headphone is. I would look at a 3D printing solution for this. It could be done for virtually any headset. Adhesives of any kind do not work. Those do not create a reliable flexible bond. Keep an eye out for broken ones to use the parts from, get a part made, or redesign by using parts from other headphones are pretty much the only option that I see.

While we are not here to recommend products, I did a search for some of the better known models and found that Bose offers a very wide assortment of repair parts.

Beats is controlled by Apple so getting parts for them may prove very difficult (actually impossible).

Personally I own Bose so I am biased, but did my research before buying and have never had a repair incident.
