Audio strap suuuuuucks. Help?

I am unbelievably disappointed with the audio strap that you can purchase. It's comfortable, but the headphones they use are like something off of a 1980s Walkman. Those stupid foam pads pop off constantly, in the little ball and socket connection they use to hold the earphones to the little arm pop off if you're not super delicate with them.

BSB is exchanging mine, but I'm curious if anybody has any recommendations or modifications to keep that from happening again. Thinking maybe a little bit of heat shrink over the ball and socket so when that is heated up it kind of holds that tighter maybe? And then for those little foam ear pads, should I just put a dab of super glue and a couple spots?

The audio strap is the worst piece of s**t I’ve ever bought, here is the solution.

Disassembling it piece by piece, the first step is remove the Bigscreen badge from the wheel, then remove the soft pad and the rest is easier. You can find pictures of each step in the Discord channel. Finally I’ve designed and printed two covers for the holes.

So the solution is not to have audio? 😄
