I want to salvage my broken headphones...

Hey dudes

I recently dug out these old broken sony headphones. The headband on them is completely broken off but the speakers themselves work great. I had 2 different ideas: The first, sew the headphones in to a hat lined up with my ears. The second, somehow rig them up to my helmet, kinda like a Giro or Smith audio helmet.

What are your guys thoughts, any tips or ideas? Has anyone ever done something like this?

Thanksssss

I was going to do this with my icons.

I have a Smith holt and the ear covers have a spot for the tune ups where my headphones could go.

If I were you I would make a hat.

You know how the straps on helmets make a V and then continue to go down to buckle? Somehow rig them in that V. It would be comfortable by the looks of it.
