 +===== Turtle Beach PX21 after less than 11 months =====

 +
 +I want to share how Turtle Beach PX21 Earforce a $100 USD headphones ended after 11 months. 
 +I would, I was, expect $100 USD headphones to last longer than 11 months. Funny enough, 
 +it seems like they've reinforced joints. I guess they were rightfully worried cups might 
 +break away. Well, not good enough/wrong spot.
 +
 +Anyway, as you can see, the left cup has snapped off and the right one is on its way. 
 +I haven't claimed warranty yet as I didn't have time to do that. Also, wire snapped prior 
 +to this "event" and I've repaired it(btw points for Turtle Beach here). However, I think 
 +I might voided my warranty, although that's a completely different problem.
 +
 +What's next? Well, I'll try to claim warranty at first, but not much of a hope there. 
 +I think I might just cut those cups and add a female jack and make rather pricey headphone 
 +volume control. Would I buy Turtle Beach again? I'm not sure, although all brands have their 
 +up and down products. I've already bought replacement and it's not a Turtle Beach though :-)

 +===== Genius ZABIUS HS-G850 =====
 +
 +I've bought Genius ZABIUS HS-G850 as a replacement for "deceased" PX21. It wasn't easy choice 
 +due to my rather "unique" setup. But I'm pleased with headphones in overall. They work, do 
 +what I need to do be done, seem to be well made as well(I have head this one before, though). 
 +Two comments, though. I don't think these headphones are good for listening to music. It seems to 
 +me they have low bass. And despite that's something you don't mind in games, you might mind in music. 
 +Second, my ears begin to hurt after a while. But there could be many causes for this one :-)
