Best strong but not too strong glue to reassemble in-ears?

Somewhat surprisingly, I managed to fix my very cheap (but well-loved) Sony MDR-XB50BS.
I was able to open them with a pick, then clean what needed to be cleaned (it's my go-to sport in-ear).

What type of glue would you guys suggest to be able to glue it back? Obviously, I have a bunch of very strong glues and super glues but I don't think I will be able to reopen it in case it needs fixing again in the future. Is there a specific type of glue used by manufacturers that, as the original did, would provide some level of grip but still be amenable to be "picked" in the future should the need arise?

Maybe a little white wood glue, won't melt the plastic...
