ATH-M50X Hinge Reinforcement

Audio Technica ATH-M50(x) fans know that these over-ear headphones deliver exceptional sound at an unbeatable price. After three years of non-stop use, my trusty M50s were starting to show signs of wear and tear. The hinges, in particular, had become the weakest link - a small plastic tab designed to prevent hyper-extension was on the verge of breaking under constant strain. When it finally snapped for me, I knew I had to act fast. That's when I came up with this clever reinforcement bracket, carefully crafted to provide extra support and prevent future breakages. This design can also be adapted to repair headphones where the tab has already given way. Whether your hinges are new or nearing the end of their lifespan, this free accessory will save you a pretty penny - ~$140, to be exact.
