A precision 3D-printed hinge bracket that snaps onto a broken Audio Technica ATH-M50 and holds. 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 only design that still lets the headphones fold flat into the case.
No glue, no tools, no soldering. Close the headphones, snap the bracket over the hinge, done in under a minute.
Printed in PETG — tougher than the brittle stock plastic and far more durable than PLA. Eight years of design iteration; this is version four.
Other fixes lock the headphones open. 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 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.
