That' s the only excuse I' d take as to why their build quality is so horrible.

I' ve bought four MS brand headsets in the past year, and not only is the sound quality horrible, but they break about once every couple months! I was in a game of CoD with Torr and Rampage, and my mic starts sputtering, so I take it apart (again, as the mute button had snapped off earlier that week) and see a few loose wires, that are so thin when you go to solder them it nukes the ends clean off.

Has anybody else had bad luck with these things, or am I just getting a negative karma bomb here?
