Also, upon closer inspection of the 1st and 2nd headset, it became readily obvious that the plastic in use on the newer headset is substantially more brittle than the first.

Taking the cover apart to see if I could fix it uncovered a broken plastic ring inside which is not surprising given how thin the plastic supports are.

Like countless others, the cheap plastic on the earpiece broke.

Cheap plastic started to crack around joints, low quality product

The main problem I had was its flimsy plastic joints that can and will break upon dropping the headset, rendering it damn near useless.

plastic cracked and fell apart above the left ear piece

Then the hinges that hold the ear parts to the head band part are the cheapest, thinnest plastic imaginable and completely broke on both sides

This thing is made of cheap plastic, does not feel compact except for the first few days

I haven't had any of the driver issues or plastic cracking issues that i've read about in other reviews

The cheap plastic holding the ears to the head set is the first to break, leaving them loose and uncomfortable

Multiple malfunctions and the supports for the headset earpieces is cheap plastic that snapped

The plastic is just not very strong and i've had 3 different ones of these break on me due to just a little pressure

ive had this headset for over 2 years (ordered april 13th 2015/ it is now may 4th 2017) and granted the plastic holding both earmuffs has cracked on both sides

The plastic was very brittle and disintegrated in small pieces.

The inside brackets for headset top strap are a cheap, thin plastic

The headset itself is of poor quality, the plastic cannot resist it's own weight and will break even if you handle it with care.

This headset isn't even made of the good plastic

The build quality of the entire headset may seem nice and weighty, but the plastics are rather flimsy and can break if handled a bit too roughly

Plastic parts that break

Very flimsy, made of cheap plastic

The plastic forks that hold each can are made of terrible quality plastic that also break easily, mine broke while moving back to school after 10 months.-The programmable buttons are difficult to program as the software will sometimes not recognize what function you want it to be set to, likely because of buggy software.-The wireless dongle is finicky with what usb port it will work with

This was not accidental, it was the cheap plastic and/or bad design flaw of these headphones.

Basically the back plate to the swivel mechanism, and the grips to the actual ear cups are made with such cheap plastic that they break within a year

It's made of cheap plastic, and movement makes the whole setup creak mercilessly

In spite of my best efforts, the cheap plastic components failed.

Cheap plastic

The plastic of the unit is flimsy, and it seems to just get randomly damaged by regular use

Pros:-The sound quality is good, despite some audio glitches when in 7.1 surround mode-The mic quality is good as well, for a headset that is-The wireless range is goodCons:-The swivel joints break ridiculously easily due to the terrible design choice of making flimsy plastic joints for cans that are this freakin heavy

Lasted about 2 years, the plastic gave out really fast and broke easily and it was a part they had no replacement of

cheap plastic, cheap recharge connector, gone through 3 pair

The second time within 2 months of buying them one side of the of the hard plastic covers that gives the headphones a range of motion broke

Just from normal wear the microphone is sagging to the side, the plastic has cracked in one place and the ear muffs are flaking off.

Now lets hope the mic arm holds up on the new one and the plastic cracking problem doesn't haunt me

Even the feel is like cheap recycled plastic

The plastic holding the left ear cup broke and now it just hangs from the wire and doesn't cover my ear

As disappointing as that seemed I emailed Logitech customer service desk and they sent me a brand new headset for free

The product it self works as it's intended too

Other times, it'll seemingly not reconnect and just fail as if it's a low battery

The first moment this thing begins to disconnect/reconnect on you, run to the "return" option as fast as you can

This headset works as it was designed probably around 2/5ths of the time

everything works as it should.

Your guess is as good as

Works as it should.

I love the 3 buttons on top as you can use them to cycle through music or can supposedly program them for other uses

Even if the mic didn't break I was still having problems with the wireless connection dropping out at random times and then taking a few seconds to reconnect
