Author Topic: Why do all my headsets break?  (Read 2276 times)

So about a month or so ago I bought a cheap headset. Brought it home, used it for a while then all of a sudden the sound in the left ear stopped working. I still used them occasionally for the microphone but used speakers for sound instead.

Juts last week, I bought a new headset. It was fairly expensive, but they were half price so I picked them up. Just today, they also stopped working - this time the left side. I tested both of the headsets in my GBA (Only thing I had with a correctly sized headphones plug) and the problem isn't the computer - they also don't work right in the GBA. Not to mention while trying to fix the problem the mic on the expensive set has stopped working as well.

I dunno if I'm cursed or something because this is bullstuff.

e: The microphone seems to be working now.

Mine keep breaking too. What kind is it, exactly? Logitech?

My old one was a logitech, this one is a plantronics.

No you're not cursed, I broke my headset two weeks ago. Just 7 minutes ago I ordered this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826102041

Headsets are very easy to brake thats all, unfortunately I just tend to chew on the wire. :(

Edit: My old one was TekNmotion.

My cat ate my earphones twice

I keep sitting on mine :(.

Yeah, I'll have to try and get a wireless pair and hope they don't suck.

My tape deck adapter is always breaking. Not sure why it is but I like to listen to my iPod through my car stereo. It always breaks at the part where it never should because it's reinforced with an inch of plastic. Hardly ever a problem with earphones since the type I have are designed to fly off my ears if any pull is put on them.

My Xbox ones keep exploding apart, I think my head's too big.

Or maybe I should stop throwing them across the room when I lose 100 times in a row.

Eh, it's probably the first one.

Hey, it says on the back of the box they have a one year warranty. I'll see if I can get a fix for their bullstuff product.

All of my headphones get staticy if I use them long enough.  I'm not sure why.



thanks, plantronics support website.


I like my new headset.
