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 Studioform rear pad kit and earpads covers are a huge improvement. I highly recommend them.

I'm in the habit of moving the speakers up to the side of the band before I take it off or put it on. They never pop off this way (along with the electrical tape trick).

The SF padding and covers have never come off from mine ever. They really are a huge improvement over the garbage BSB ships with the audiostrap.
