So I got this headset in January 2020. It's April 2021 and they decided to kill me. It started with minor issues with the mic then I plugged them in after they worked fine yesterday only they didn't work at all. I took a chance because they got rave reviews, but I kept seeing moments where people said they didn't work. last long. You were right. You pay for high quality headphones because they break in a year. Not worth it in my opinion. Which is sad because they were really successful when they REALLY worked.
