A precision 3D-printed bracket that snaps onto a broken Audio Technica ATH-M50 hinge and restores full function. Eight years of design iteration. Made in Michigan.
The plastic hinge on the ATH-M50 is the part that fails first. It cracks, then snaps, and suddenly a $150 pair of studio headphones is a paperweight.
This kit fixes that. It's the part Audio Technica should have built, and it's the best solution across the board. (see below)
No glue, no tools, no soldering. Close the headphones, snap the bracket over the hinge, done in under 10 seconds.
Printed in PETG, tougher than the brittle stock plastic and far more durable than PLA. After eight years of design iteration we have reached the most durable version yet.
Other fixes prevent the headphones from folding. This design preserves full collapse so they go right back in your travel case.
Earcups still swivel for one-ear monitoring. Pressure on the head matches the factory hinge, nothing (or very little) changes about the fit.
You get a matched pair so both sides look and feel identical, even if only one hinge is currently broken.
Matched to standard M50 black and the white variants. Pick a color at checkout.
100% of buyers recommend the kit. Reviews verified across Etsy, eBay, and Amazon.
"This product is perfect for the issue these headphones have, and esthetically they match so perfectly to the cans, you don't even know they're there. I recommend getting some as a preemptive strike. That's what I did for the side that was still functioning properly. It's a really good deal, much cheaper the buying a new set of cans. I only wish you could sell the concept to Audio Technica and get some royalties that way. Thank you."
"These are fantastic really. I've been trying to fix one set of AT 50x's for weeks. I was wasting my time. I saw these they arrived and wow just snapped into place and fixed. They feel more secure and stronger than ever. Functionality is great they still fold if you want them to. I'm now ordering more to have them on hand I have 4 other sets of Audio Technica ATH-m50's so I want to have them on hand. Thanks"
"Item is exactly what I needed. The hinge on my ath m50x broke and this seemed like a relatively cheap and easy fix while being very non invasive on the headset. Just a small easy plastic piece that clips and it does keep the headset flush against the head cupping the ear properly. Added bonus: it's just a small plastic piece that you wouldn't even really notice on the headset. Thanks for the easy fix that looks nice and functions."
"It's like my headphones are brand new. If your stupid cup-knub broke off because audio technica is f***ing ret****d, make SURE you get these!"
