Headset won't charge or turn on

I dropped my headphones and broke the headband on the right earcup. Was able to to reassemble the head band and the headset worked for a while but now it won't turn on or charge anymore. The wire in the headset is kinked but I'm not sure if that's the cause

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

That is quite normal for those wired to be kinked a little. I believe it could be that your battery connection got dislodged or other components of the motherboard in the cups broke off. Do you have a photo of the disassembled earcups?
