So I am here to just tell of my woes with headset/headphones. If I could get some advice it would be grand if not I need to just vent.

So today I was enjoying my PC, wearing my Turtle Beaches Z2 I bought the other month there. It I needed them since my 2 year old TB's X11's connection inside the headset was loose. So I spent £50 (EST, $75) on the realy fantastic Z2. I was going to go better except I didnt have a HD Soundcard for the most expensive TB's.

So everything was great until last week. They broke on the headband part. The part you adjust and extend to fit you head. I was dismayed by that fact however splinted it with cardboard and taped it up. All the weight (of a hefty headseat as is) was now on my ear. Oh well Ill wear at hat to pad it out. Ok everything's fine.

Untill today. fucking wire connection is broken inside the cable at a point that isnt great to cut open. I could maby splice it. However I am unsure how well that would work and more so, how long that solution would last. So I am very pretty fucking bummed out most of the day cos of that. I bought them off amazon its been two months. There is no way I could even try and fuck around with guarantee. They are just dead.

So I switch to my wireless X31's I use them exclusively for my xbox. Until now. They are fine and about a year old. Still fine.

Watching the youtube and zup....batteries dead. I have to recharge the batteries. Feeling lazy. I pick up my broken X11's as my family taped them up to work fine, however I bought the better and newer Z2 until it died. So my family was using it today since the X2 is dead. So I pick them up and what do I see?

My already broken pair. IS BROKEN EXACTLY THE FUCKING SAME AS THE Z2 HAD LAST WEEK!!! It just feels like a fucking knife being placed back into the wound that was already healing.

Its the head band extender that snapped in the same way. I just cant beleave it. Its like I am being taunted.

And I know what people are going to say "You bought Turtle Beaches? There is your problem." No TB's or not this shit all ways fucking happen to me.

I have 3 other headphones broken around the house. 4 others that were thrown out. Those were cheap and some were very cheap, I do not mourn that lose. However my expensive ones meet the same fate and It just feels like bullshit. I can accept the headband snapping, I can accept more physical damage.

A fucking broken wire? ugh it feels so cheap to be fucked up by that. I may take the plunge once I accept they are dead unless I do somthing E.G splice the wire. However its not a perfect solution, there is none.

I hate how I view Headphones/Headsets as perishables. They dont last long. I knew this and yet I tempted fate and went for expensive perfect pair. I knew the risks however wasn't prepared for when the risks were cashed in.

Any advice? Or is it a simple case of "That life."?
