I have this headset that I've been using for years and whenever it breaks I buy a new one. it costs like 20 bucks and everyone tells me it sounds better than other headsets ive tried that cost 60-100 bucks. I returned the more expensive ones and now i just use my sick $20 headset. china good folks :china-stars:

      If it's any consolation the more expensive ones also often break in around that time frame too. :doomer:

        I've been using a $70 sennheiser headset for like 15 years now, it just needs new ear cushions

        Well i cant say much for headsets cos i know they're all cursed plastic trash regardless of price but my mic and headphone combo both with replaceable cables and ear cups has lasted me about 10 years. My in ears with replaceable cables lasted even longer but i stupidly poured a load of water into one by accident and it died.

      It’s only e-waste if you get the bottom of the barrel trash they crank it and send to stores in the US. Gotta find the good sellers since those will last a long time
