The right side of my Pioneer HDJ-1000 broke. The plastic fork that holds the ear piece. I'm looking to get them repaired. Where can I get this done?

It because of the forks inside the transmission are worn out or they have lost their plastic pieces on the fork ends.(some transmissions are built this way, plastic). you have to pull the transmission to fix it.

Welcome to Fixya,

If your headphone brand is pioneered, you can repair it by binding hang with headphone arch.
I think it helps. Let me now

You don't say which point it broke off. Which makes it harder to crack the problem. However looking at the picture shown here my bet would be the plastic "fork" like clips has snapped. The problem is they will get a lot of stress when you put them on and take them off your head. I have had many headphones with this problem and the two methods I will now tell you, I believe will only last a short while. First is to use a strong superglue. The next suggestion is to melt them together with a soldering iron. This will not look attractive but will hold for a while. As I have said these are not going to last a long time. They could be used till you have found a new set!
If you decide to melt them, please use eye protection and do it in a well ventilated room. The smoke will drift up to your eyes and will cause problems. You might need to find some kind of plastic to re-enforce it. Airfix plastic spurs or a pen top etc.
The only permant solution is to replace the case but keep the speakers. See my tip for further information on this idea. Click my name to find it.

most likely cable is very loosely contacting the jack or earpad. Will need to be taken apart and soldered.

Most likely you need this spare part:

It is quite easy to replace it yourself.

If the tape holds it in place then I suggest a good brand of superglue might hold on for a time. The only other cause of action I can suggest is visiting a Pioneer service center and seeing if the part is still made.
If all else fails have a look at the bottom of my tip on repairing dodgy cables and plugs, there is a suggestion on what to do with a broken headshell.

No but they are easy to fix.

You can have Bose replace the headset for you (new w/ 1-year warranty), but if it's past it's current 1-year it will cost you $60.Unfortunately Bose doesn't supply parts for that headset, but you could try using plastic adhesive as a low-tech fix. First Google search result for plastic adhesive:http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Windows/Doors/Product-Information/Products/Adhesives/Plastic-Adhesive/ .

They will give you a new pair for $100, even if it has been longer than a year...

I had such a problem, but I fixed it.

Plase see video on YouTube:



or read this brief text explanation:

Under/behind the ear sponge are four screws - 3 black screws, that holds ear cup closed, and one silver cup, that mounts small piece of plate, that holds the cord.
Gently unscrew, open ear cup, and then first I suggest to check if circuit on that small circuit board is not broken! You can also check wires, etc.
