Headband breakage on the JBL E65BTNC is common because the plastic frame has limited flexibility.
Fix options:
1. Epoxy repair – Align the broken pieces and bond with 2-part epoxy. Reinforce with a small metal strip or cable tie glued inside for strength.
2. 3D-printed replacement – Look for STL models of replacement headbands or hinges. Many users upload compatible parts on Thingiverse or similar sites.
3. Spare parts – JBL does not sell official headbands, but some sellers on eBay/AliExpress offer donor frames from broken sets.
4. Warranty check – If still under warranty, JBL may replace the unit (though physical damage is usually excluded).
Temporary fix: tape or heat-shrink tubing around the break, but this only restores shape, not strength.

Good ideas.
I fixed mine doing the same the epoxy metod. Instead I used the backing soda and super glue procedure.
Fixed a year ago and my wife still falls aslep with them on.
Good luck
