Repairing a broken JBL headphone headband

[@bucksman]

Great video. I just had the same problem. I don’t know if I would be able to repair it as you did. I lack the talent and tools.

[@MarangozHeadphone]

You can do it!

[@bucksman]

@@MarangozHeadphone I know I had commented this earlier, but I figured out a crass yet effective method to fix it. I just wrapped a thick tape after applying industrial glue to the broken parts. It still is sturdy and comfortable around the ears. Thanks again!

[@sara-si9ji]

@@bucksmancan u tell me which glue u applied cause i did patafix and on top of it a black tape many times and it never last

[@bucksman]

@@sara-si9ji Epoxy adhesive - basically it’s a mixture epoxy resin and hardener. ‘Araldite’ is the brand that I used.

Its crazy how they made this part in soft plastic. If one part needs to be made out of metal, its the one linking the headband to the earcups, thats where all the stress is. Plus this happens on a lot of models in this line up, almost like they are doing it on purpose. The 720BT I have had both sides break at the same time. After contacting the support, of course it's not covered by the warranty... Thanks for the video, I'll try to see if I can repair it in a similar way

[@huseec2]

Wow, thank you for such a helpful video. As per your instruction i fixed my headphone. Great Job. Thanks

[@MarangozHeadphone]

You're welcome! ❤️❤️

[@kissongen]

My daughter got these for christmas present and they broke today. She was really upset but we found your video and now shes calm again. Ur a hero to us ❤

[@MarangozHeadphone]

Glad I could help! ❤❤❤❤

[@joshuapage3126]

Great video. I was sadly not successful in getting the pin out on my first attempt and in the process kinda broke that bit... Going to rebuild it however, not done trying

[@Instinxx]

oh as soon as u started melting the plastic i shook my head. i am scared to ruin them even more as i have autism and my headphones are a sensory aid

[@Maber610]

If scared I think the easier way is to buy cheap used ones with the cushions all damaged and just switch them with the ones from yours

[@-_-pan96-_-45]

Mine broke at the exact same place but it took the plastic with it too And I thought it would be a good idea to glue it with hot silicone I am not sure if I should do it I don't want to ruin mine either They're really important to me and also I just got them and they were so expensive 😭 (I don't have that model I got the over ear ones 😭)

[@kijetesantakaluSokete]

literally i dont have any other good sensory aids :(((

[@MarangozHeadphone]

It was already broken:İ had nothing to loose. ❤️❤️❤️

[@-_-pan96-_-45]

What I did is I took super glue and glued it together and obviously that wouldn't keep it together so I filled the gaps with uv nail polish, and then I put like 3 coats of tape, and then I put another 2 coats of white nail polish and you can't really tell it's there But they don't bend anymore, I'm fine with it tho as long as they work, the problem is they don't swivel so I can't adjust them 100% to my ear but thank God I glued them at an angle like this \-/ so they're fine They were so expensive and they broke in like a month...

[@fathimah7237]

Heyyy, my headphones broke the same exact wayy!! It is fairly new and in great working condition audiowise and i was looking for a way to repair it without sacrificing the mobility and this method is so brilliant, just wow. Unfortunately i am in India and i am nor sure if someone here knows how to do this. If i want to try to fix it ,what kind of shop should i go so that the person there can help me with their experience, what type of proffessional people will have the tools mentioned in the vedio? Please do reply. Thanks a lot🥺❤

[@MarangozHeadphone]

They charge too much for the repair.

[@aldrin-1475]

It's a good headphones but it needs some work on the stability and endurance part, as to why mine broke, i was just removiong it from my head when it snapped

[@hibluvdacland9642]

IT HAPPENED TO ME TWICE I LITERALLY BOUGHT A NEW ONE BC I HAD THAT PROB AND IT BROKE THE SAME WAY AFTER NOT EVEN A WEEK💀💀

[@MarangozHeadphone]

Sorry to hear that.They designed it to break.

[@miguelangelrv1741]

​@@hibluvdacland9642seguro compraste la replica por que ami me aguanto 6 meses para que me pasara algo asi y eso que lo usaba bastante como 12 horaa por dia sin parar

[@Imkokii]

What😭 I've been using those for literal 2/3 years + and I've dropped them like almost 10 times but still is working as fire.

[@user-xp7ku6mq1h]

Mate, thank you very much for your detail guidance about repairing of this device. I have another model (720 bt),was bying this less then year ago, was using carefull and gently, but they broken exactly at the same place. In my model speaker cover and headband is smaller that in 510bt, but anyway witht your help i were able to fix this. Great job and thnx again-you save my money!

[@MarangozHeadphone]

Glad I could help ❤️❤️❤️

[@НесібеліТұрсынова]

Ya, I have the same problem, i dont hav these tools but can i fix it with epoxide glue?

[@danellasmyth7816]

Is this a common issue? I took it back in the store and they advised this wasn't wear and tear and my daughters is just 14 months old.

[@benthechainsawsculptor7553]

Hey thanks for this video, mine is broken lower than in the middle.. right where it joins at the base. Any suggestions?

[@MarangozHeadphone]

Maybe you can use wire mesh to connect two parts.

[@vain6315]

I have something similar i can't do that because there are too little material to use on the base

[@ToniStark-b3j]

Отличные наушники GBL 510 звук супер конечно👍👍👍Заряд батареи 3 дня можно слушать. И вот на днях такая же ситуация Хреновая,в этом же месте лопнул так же левый,ну как же так 😢 что же не так с GBL компанией неужели брак начался 😢 До 510х были 450 е Так же все гуд только батарея слабая. Там проблема с самой дужкой лопнула когда упали с головы детна 1м на асфальт 😢 попробую 😂 сделать 😢😢 за видео очень очень огромное спасибо 😢

[@ReabetsoeAlbum]

what is that part of the headphone called?

[@MarangozHeadphone]

Speaker cover and headband. ❤️❤️

[@aditya_saha]

Interesting that your left side also broke. I smell foul play from JBL, they might be intentionally designing weaker joints

[@yellowmellow6]

it has only been 3 months since I bought this and it just snapped the other day 😵‍💫 i dont have the tools so 🤷‍♀️

[@MarangozHeadphone]

They desingned it to break easily.You dont need much tools.A dollar store soldering gun will do the work. ❤️❤️

[@dannydee9919]

Warranty homey. Jbl Warranty their products 1 year.

[@ragonez4101]

is it possible to remove the pin without damaging the plastic

[@MarangozHeadphone]

I could not find a way to do so.Pin is inside plastic.❤️❤️

[@johnatan108]

Como retirou a parte quebrada depois de sacar o pino ?

[@MarangozHeadphone]

neste produto, a parte interior saiu sozinha (se não tivesse saído, tê-la-ia retirado com um parafuso afiado (talvez fazendo um furo))

[@nokiatv_]

Yooo my headphone is broken in the same way but I don't have any tools what should I do

[@MarangozHeadphone]

You just need a cheap soldering gun.Thanks for watching.❤️❤️

[@touma-san91]

​@@MarangozHeadphone and a drill because how else you are going to remove that pin?

[@alex_geri4]

На сколько времени хватило ремонта? Точно такая же поломка у меня …

[@ragonez4101]

everyone just be careful with the first supergluing step. i accidentally glued the wire to the plastic so i had to break the plastic and fix it the old fashioned way, with tape 😂😂😂

[@MarangozHeadphone]

Lol. ❤️❤️❤️

[@JoraDebbarma-hw2xo]

[@MarangozHeadphone]

[@Wass-brt]

[@blissmapalo3259]

😭 how am i supposed to do this at home when i dont have any of these tools

[@watchAnimuruinsrlifu]

f that man FR , im gonna use a lot of tape

[@MarangozHeadphone]

Just adjust to your like before glueing.

[@MarangozHeadphone]

Tape does not hold.
