Replacement Headband Assembly
This is the complete structural frame for the headphones. Since the hinge failure usually involves a fracture of the plastic housing where the metal swivel pin sits, replacing the entire band ensures all structural mounting points are restored to factory specification. This prevents the risk of the internal wiring being snagged or pinched during a partial repair.

Hinge Repair and Reinforcement Kit
This aftermarket kit is specifically engineered to address the design flaw of the original plastic housing. It provides external structural support pieces that clamp over the fractured hinge area, restoring the mechanical integrity of the swivel point without requiring a full teardown. It is the most common solution for users looking to avoid the high cost of OEM parts.

Swivel Hinge Hanger bracket
This is the individual yoke component that connects the earcup to the headband. In cases where the failure is limited to the swivel pin mounting point rather than the headband arm itself, replacing this granular bracket restores the pivot functionality. It requires careful handling of the 16-pin connector and internal wiring.
