i have one M70X too. same problem. After gluing the broken part, use Sugru to strengthen it further. It works for me. It has been one year now and it is still ok

Heard this from many others as well... Strange though, at its price point it shouldn't be that flawed. Even the old M50x is way tougher

Exact same problem, super frustrating that such a small thing can break the whole piece. Anyone who has fixed it by themselves yet?

Am in Singapore, lived in Montreal for 7 years, studying..
Just use m40x head bridge to replace your broken m70x bridge... Shorten the wiring path in the process which will improve the sound, esp bass

Yes, exactly the same problem here. I feel this is a serious design flaw in what are not a cheap pair of headphones. Unable to glue back, unfortunately.

I used my m40x headbridge to replace, much cheaper then the original. Also a bit lighter.
In the process I replace the left to right cable, just partially with 4n 99.99% silver single core cable. It was 0.2 ohm between L R. It went down to about 0.12.
Also solder the ear speaker cable nearer , but not to near to melt the coil output. Tiny cable, to the coil terminal instead of going thru the printed circuit traces.
Better sound overall

Looking for OPPO PMs -- Do you want to sell your pair?
Hi There,
I lost my Steel Blue OPPO PM-3s in a tragic event a few months ago. (Car got stolen, got car back, headphones were gone, only thing I really wanted back). I'm interested in finding a new pair, and I'd really love the red ones or the blue ones. You can't buy them new any more, but if anyone has a used pair they'd be willing to unload, here's a buyer for you...

Question: Why can't I ship the Sennheiser 6XX to Australia?
When I go to Checkout with these Headphones, or any others, Australia doesn't appear as a country available.

USB DAC with stereo TRS outputs + Headphone jack
I've got an MBox Pro driving my KRK Rokit 8 monitors via TRS cable, and it's great, but there haven't been new drivers in ages and it has to be restarted frequently at best (because the sound will cut out or just not come through) and the drivers cause BSODs occasionally at worst. Since I don't really use it for recording anymore, I'm hoping to find something much simpler that uses USB instead of firewire and would hopefully be more stable. Everything offered on Drop so far seems to be RCA and I'd much prefer to have a balanced connection.
Any suggestions for what I'm looking for? Thanks in advance!

Best Audiophile Headphone for Gaming?
Hi, I'm by no means an audiophile but would like to treat my self to a premium pair of headphones. I will be using them predominantly for gaming and casually listening to music (top 40/hip hop). I'd like the headphones to be able to locate footsteps whilst having a decent bass. I've heard great things about the DT1990 Pro and HD660s which fit my budget of around $600.

I called the service centre in Singapore, the repair cost is half of the selling price. As they do not sell the smal plastic join that broke, but I have to replace the whole bridge between the 2 speakers.
So if you have a M70X, better add some reinforce resin. But expect the life to be 2 years max.
If Massdrop could source the small plastic join piece I will be the first to buy. After all it's a big waste for a pair of perfectly sounding headphones.
Hope audio technical cud see this post!
