I did the same thing last summer. It got stepped on during a COPA for kids event.

Got told that it was end of life but if they had parts they would fix it.

Came back in better shape than before it was broken.

If they could not have sourced the parts of the frame I was going to just 3d print them since they are well beyond any expectation of repairs at this point.

Exactly. I was so convinced it wouldn't be repairable that I'd already ordered one of these (an astoundingly inexpensive ANR headset) as a stopgap until I figured out what to do:

Now I have ANR for one passenger as well. (The Crazed Pilot ANR headset is great for the price -- just as easy to hear as the $$$ Bose headset, but not quite as comfortable. Strongly recommend as a student/pax headset.)

My plane came with a pair of 6 pin Bose X headsets and my partner and I both already owned A20's.

We have self powered ANR headsets for all four seats even though we rarely use all of them.
