Already losing connection to the Mic and the connector is causing the audio to pop

+ Electrical tape on the knots within the center hub [the cordage here on both sides with a little wiggle can lose their internal connections, for me the bottom is more problematic then the top but both unfortunately cause it to happen

Worked great for a few months, great sound and mic, before the connection between the chord and headset itself began smoking and was hot almost like it was leaking battery acid or something while it was on my head

A loose connection in that inline lighted switch is the cause of them not working
