I just recently bought some knockoff ear cups - the ones Bose sells are fairly expensive. Some people say the knockoffs are too firm but I haven't tried them yet. I haven't noticed any headband parts for sale either.

The fact that Bose is selling replacements leaves me pessimistic about Bose offering a discount based on damaged ear cups, but I didn't check. Others may have more complete information.
