1) Give your headphones a quick haircut by chiseling them with a knife to remove any obstructions (if there are any). 2) Pinch off a small piece of Sugru and roll it into a neat ball roughly the size of a pea. 3) Apply the Sugru to the (newly chiseled) broken headphone area, forming it into the shape of a cone. 4) Now for the fun bit. It’s time to get squishy! Firmly press each end of the headphones together to compress the Sugru and get it to hold. 5) Flatten this excess Sugru and push it over the crack around the outside of the headphone band, joining both parts. 6) Now, leave your hacked headphones in a resting position to set for 12-24 hours.
