Not so "new " anymore - PlayStation 4

I bought this to replace the original I had with my PS4. I can't comment on the sound quality or the ability of the mic to pick up my voice because the product I received is, well, disgusting. There's dirt and grime everywhere, including the holes in the earpiece itself. The photos I've included were taken after I'd already tried cleaning them with an air rag and cotton swab. It can probably be used, but the product description is 'New'. Good luck if you decide to purchase. UPDATE: Afterโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Some imperfections

Works great but doesn't last long

I ordered this as a test to see if it's even worth talking to other people in game. They have a mute option which is hard to find on microphones. The good news is they work. I hear others and they hear me. The bad news is that they are brittle and break easily. Wires are usually disconnected at a muted panel. I bought about 3 spares and 3 backups of them. They are so good and so simple that I can't find anything with similar functionality. They're pretty cheap, so if they break, I think it'sโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Looks good
Cons
  • Piggy Bank Price

Suitable for my purposes

I order many of these. I like to walk/run and ride with him so I can hear with one ear. The mic works really well too - I use it for Zoom meetings and calls. Affordable, compact, no charging required - convenient. I also have a bad habit of listening to music, TV, and white noise at night, and I can lie on the side I plug it into (with a soft pillow). I order a lot, partly because I like them and I've hidden one in key places and... they break pretty quickly - 4-8 months. However, the earpieceโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • I have doubts

And now I find out that it's not from Sony.

. Second Sony PS4 headphone mic I ordered from Revain. They typically last about a year, new or used, and slightly longer than more fashionable headsets that my friends pay more money for. Ordered as a quick fix, brand new and arrived in a tiny plastic bag with bubble wrap. When I first used it, I noticed that the part where you toggle the mic on and off was loose, and a friend told me I was on and off. I prefer gaming with headphones over a headset based on my gaming preferences and boughtโ€ฆ

Pros
  • . Great overall performance.
Cons
  • . Alt.

Made cheap for a short time

They used to cost around โ‚ฌ4.99 and they're not worth more than that. I've been through at least a dozen of them. And every time they fall apart after minimal use. I like to use them on my phone because of the sliding mute button. I hate waking up my phone just to mute or unmute it. I snore like a lumberjack and when I'm on the phone with my boyfriend and fall asleep I just turn on the sound to talk when I have something to say and I can just slide my finger over the cord and twist it on andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Speed

Quality has gone down over the years

So I bought five of these within two years as they were cheap and were lasting less and less over that time. The first pairs lasted a couple of months, which is fine when you can buy headphones with a mic for less than $10 (they once cost $13). However, my last two pairs didn't even last me a month. This latest pair didn't even last a week when the mic body shattered with no way to close it and my sound reverberated from the start. The one before that lasted several weeks before the cable cameโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Poor
