What kind of glue fixes it when the plastic breaks?

Unfortunately, I don't think you can fix it. It's a design flaw (a pretty bad one for this product). The audio quality is outstanding (better than the stupid Beats from Dr. Dre for sure..). What I did was to order a replacement (because it should be covered under warranty) and I was simply more careful: what actually breaks the plastic is grabbing the headphones from the ear pads when you take them off and on (despite that being the natural way of doing it) so every time I put them on and off I just expand them from the over head band, without putting strain on the thin plastic connectors that actually break. I hope this is useful. Unfortunately, I don't think you can fix it. It's a design flaw (a pretty bad one for this product).

Sorry, I have no clue about glue :) But, I guess that if the break is too severe that it is possible to find a way of gluing the parts together for strike indoor home use for a while. In the US HK/AKG seems to offer a two year guarantee on the headphones and will replace them if broken. However, from what I can read on the webb these headphones have not improved in quality, which is a pity since they are so superior to the competition in terms of NC and in particular sound quality.

My plastic broke, I used some gorilla superglue on it, let it sit a day, good as new.

I used crazy glue at first, but eventually it gave out to point I broke the other side....eventually they're just sitting around broken now.

I would suggest some JB Weld. Also, you can't beat the strength of Gorilla Glue, but it expands, so you will want to clamp to prevent it splitting the plastic more.

If you cannot remove it mechanically using a tool that is softer than the material the glue adheres to, you must use some sort of super glue remover, and then may have to use a tool, such as a piece of wood or plastic. Most super glue removers must "soak" on the glue for a few minutes before it will begin to come off. Hope this helps.

I used a wet type of glue - maybe gorilla - from a hardware store. A bit messy.

The glue did not work for me, but I was able to fix mine using the vinyl patch and Loctite super glue.

It's a "regular" plastic model... so I suspect any plastic cement will work. I like the Testors model plastic cement, it's $2 and dries really fast

You could repair this with a patch of some sort, it is not plastic but more like a coated fabic so that it is waterproof.I hope this helpstks

I used Gorilla glue on mine but Amazon will give you a discount or replace if you bought from Them!

Not plastic, true German style transparent paper, might work with regular glue but definitely works with glue made from 80grs of cornstarch to 1 liter if water, boil water, stir cornstarch into a little bit if water, pour into boiling water, cook for 1 min. Pour into jelly glass with lid and let cool.

Don't know, exactly, the answer to your question but I do know that this product will work a hell of a lot better than super glue and, for sure, better than poly glue (goop). If this does not work, not sure what will. Probably the best plastic glue I have tried.

Same thing happened to me. I hope to be able to glue it again. Don't you think it can be done?

What is the container made of? You might be able to freeze it and then scrape off the glue

Haven't had that problem. Have you tried super-glue or maybe an adhesive for plastic. How about contacting the manufacturer if you don't want to mess up the back if the glue doesn't work.

I epoxied the plactic pieces together, let them set up firm, THEN installed the new piece. It held! I think it would depend how the plastic broke.

Sorry, I have no idea! I wasnt able to fix it (with super glue) but then I'm not much good at fixing things. Luckily the company has contacted me because of my negative review so I'll find out later today what they intend to do about this major problem.

Try using super glue or rubber cement or LocTite Clear Silicone Sealant to coat the cracked plastic and make it stronger. One of these will work better than the others. You might want to experiment with them before you put them on the broken part in the heater. Remember, the bonding agent you choose needs to withstand heat of at least 212 * F.

super glue comes in very handy for that. just apply a dab into the plastic part of the joystick and slip it back onto the metal part of the joystick. should hold just fine.
