Re: Sony headphones

If you hadn't opened them, Sony warrants all their stuff, even blatant junk, for a year for "workmanship and material defects". They'd give you new ones, you'd probably have to send them to Outer Mongolia to their service depot and wait six months but you'd get a new set.
However, now that you have, why don't you evaluate what your time is worth vs. the cost of the headphones. Supposing you could lay your hands on a consumer-affordable quantity of conductive epoxy or other magic proprietary glue (which is very doubtful), is it really worth it? If they were cheap, go buy another pair and be done with it. I hate needlessly throwing away stuff... I've been known to pick up other people's garbage on trash day and it kills me every time I go to the landfill and see the pallets of TV's, stereos, and other electronic gear but you're talking about a consumable item, not a durable good. Chuck 'em!

Yeah in fact it's already the second time I've bought this type of headphones. The first time it was the same issue, so I threw them away and bought a new pair because it was cheap. But this time I wanted to repair them in the hope they'd last a bit longer (not because I thought it'd be cheaper)...
