headphone cushions coming apart

I've had my headphones (Audeze SINE) for around two years now and it seems that the cushions are coming apart, has anyone else had this happen/know what to do? I have sent them back to Audeze in the past to get them fixed (~6months ago, the plastic piece in the headband was broken) but it took a bit of time for them to ship there and back and I am leaving the country in less than a month so I don't think I would be able to get them back in time if I did that. Is this the sort of thing a local headphone repair shop or something like that would be able to fix easily? I don't want to spend too much money cause it doesn't really affect how they sound noticeably and it doesn't seem like they're gonna straight up fall off or anything soon so I might just live with it and try to get them fixed when I come back in a few months.

just rip 'em off and glue some tampons where they were, should be fine

For real though, since it looks like it's just the casing coming apart, I think the cheapest fix would be to get a vinyl/fabric glue and try gluing them back down, should run you about $3. Should be able to apply and let it set while you sleep.
