Qc 2 Head Band Replacement?

I have a QC2 headphone I have had for several years. Recently while taking them out of the case the plastic head band broke just below where the L is located for the left ear indicator. The speakers themselves work fine. I wonder if it is possible to replace just the plastic head band portion of the headset. Thank you William Bode

Cheapest way to repair is to superglue the broken parts which works as long as you are carefull where you apply the glue.

After that, the next best option is to call Bose support and go with the trade-in policy of getting the new QC15 headset for $129 plus shipping--the regular price is $299. You need to send your QC2 back to Bose in advance then they will send you the new product. While the QC2 cushsions and and cable are not supposed to work with the QC 15, I was told I can keep those parts. Maybe a friend can use them on his QC10. Pull the battery also and use it in the new headset.
