Think you're kinda stuck with whatever model you have man, they obviously check to make sure shit is inside the box, its not going to fly if you have a completely different headset in there.

If you have a careful hand, you can easily solder the bad connection (not sure where exactly it broke). All you need is a physical conductive connection with a generous cross-sectional area where the solder is, since it's order of magnitude less conductive than the Al-Cu alloy wire. Should result in minimal signal losses that by ear you won't even notice. Silver paint also works well, but not quite as well. I've done this with headsets, then epoxy'd over the fix area (make sure it works before you put epoxy). That area then will most likely last longer than the original parts.

I wouldn't suggest stealing from the company. Always good to have some integrity.

Well, all i know its that there is a loss of connection in the cable right under the earcup and whenever like i bend it or something the connection comes back. And it doesnt seem i can open the ear cup to check the lines..

If it's non-functional then it's already broken. Just open it up and fix it. If you need more wire, you can either use stereo wire (best) if you have any, or you can use an old telephone wire. Any wire will work with minimal signal loss really as long as the gauge is thick enough. It will take some time but will be extremely satisfying once you do it, it works, and you've taught yourself some useful skills

no it was working but the cable ended up breaking but it like broke inside the earcup so there is no connection and i cant open the earcup

Yes you can. Get a hammer, pliers and something with a sharp end like a razor blade. Be creative.
