I've had a pair of Gen 1 wayfarers for almost a year and a half now. I work at a daycare, so I'm no stranger to having sport balls hit me in the face every now and then. A few months back, a basketball hit my glasses at a rough angle, and the touchpad on the side hasn't worked since. Sucked, but managable, everything worked just fine otherwise.

Today, I took a kickball to the face at close range. I didn't think it hit that hard and didn't notice any issues at first, but when I got home, I was hit with the "speakers not working" error. I've tried restarting, factory reset, nothing. Not a single sound comes out of them no matter what.

Looking for advice on what to do from here. If I recall, warranty is only for a year (in the US where I live). Is there anywhere that they can be repaired for less than the cost to buy a new pair? Or am I looking at buying new ones at full price?
