HDJ Swivel Broke on left ear...Pioneer Rep: "Not repairable"

Swivel broke on the left ear, you can turn the ear all the way around.  Do not work anymore.  Called the technical service and they said "Headphones aren't repairable..."  My warranty is gone...F me right...guess Ill be buying Sennheiser HD 25's.  Such a sad thing that headphones costing over $300 cannot be fixed.
