The joints that connect the headpiece to the ears are solid pieces of metal, which is WAY better than the flimsy plastic ones that I had on my last pair

The microphone kind of sucks though because the plastic on it likes to split a bit, but it's not something I'd dock a point over given the overall quality of the headset.

I'm fairly certain the headband is a metal component, and not a dinky plastic piece.

Everything from the soft plastic, to the velvet padding ear muff option, the interchangeable port options and traveling case

This not your typical chintzy, flimsy plastic gaming headset

The joints that connect the headpiece to the ears are solid pieces of metal, which is WAY better than the flimsy plastic ones that I had on my last pair

After about a year of use, plastic casing on the side snapped and the microphone has static

After 2 years completely impeccable without even 1 scratch , it still even has the new plastics to the sides of the ear pads

Speaking of the headphone cable it's a very nice braided wire instead of a cheap plastic cable you'd expect to fray or get cut easily

And it's made of cheap plastic.

Unfortunately the headphones are only as strong as it's weakest link, the headphone plug broke shortly after plugging it into my iPad it broke

Love the headset however I believe that my Audio Controller is broken as it causes sound to not come from different sides unless the scroll wheel is in a specific position.
