Turtle Beach PX21 after less than 11 months

Snapped off left cup

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 :-)

Cracks on the right cup
