how to fix broken headphones

I have a set of Samsung SBH500 Bluetooth headphones that unfortunately have a snapped headphone band. The band is essentially broken into two pieces, preventing me from using my headphones.

What's the sturdiest method of repairing my headphones? I already tried super glue, which worked for 30 seconds before the headphone band broke again. Check out the picture:

Any help or suggestions you may have will be appreciated!

I used a hair band and a tape to fix that and make it really work. Using another solution or glue will be a temporary solution.

Check this video to fix the broken headphone band in less than $1.

F$(( Samsung. A billion dollar mega conglomerate corporation doesn't have a measly

Warranty on physical defects. This is how these companies become billion dollar ones. What happened to pleasing the customer or the customers always right? Again the almighty dollar comes front and center. There's no such thing anymore as a loyal customer. Everyone's disposable. For every customer lost another 10 join the flock. So 1 measly customer doesn't mean anything anymore. And the cost to manufacture their products is literally cents on the dollar. A thousand dollar phone costs them maybe $20 to produce. And the end user gets screwed and they suddenly think they're a loyal customer until something happens and then you figure out the hard way. It's like getting through to the Gestapo.

I have had two pairs of Panasonic RPHT225, the first ones I had about 6 years ago lasted 3-4 years and the plastic swivel connector part of the arm just snapped off and I binned them. My daughter bought be a second exact same pair for me as she knew Ilike the sound quality and they have just snapped in the same place, so not wanting to scrap a perfectly functioning pair of heads I have just spent a couple of hours cutting a piece of thin sheet steel about 17mm wide x 50mm long x probably 30 guauge and used some pop rivets about 2mm diameter and put in a total of 6 rivets and it feels like it's going to hold really well and not flex like the plastic did. It's the flexing that causes the plastic to weaken and form a plastic hinge and break off.

You can't beat having the right thin spring steel as flexi arms, they don't break. I am not a great fan of the use of plastic, it's horrible in cars, the UV light turns PVC brittle and ABS id not much better. Nylon 66 is much more durable alternative.
