A:

Works great on PC. Im not sure if it was the reason or not but after using it on PC with windows 8. the next time i turned on my PC w/o the headset my PC had no sound. It would not detect any speakers. I tried going through the setting to set the speakers back and did lots of trouble shooting. Only thing that fixed it was system restore after the date of headset use.

There well built but if your rage smashing them against a wall they probably won't survive lol. I had a pair (when they first realised) for little over 2 years with my daughter throwing them around. It stopped charging suddenly still worked with a headphone wire but it didn't have the boosted performance. I liked the headset so much I bought a second pair and they feel sturdier then the first.

A:

No. I have been through 3 of these headsets and about to receive an exchange for the 4th pair. I am not rough on my headsets either they just do not hold up to the opening and closing of the earpieces everyday. they weight of the earpiece is also too much for the arm of the headset to just leave it open when not in use. This headset is not sturdy at all. If you do get this headset make sure to get the Geek squad warranty.

Absolutely NOT! While the sound is great, surround works wonderful, very comfortable and the price is not bad...the build quality is pure garbage. Period! Within 3 months the tiny blue plastic hinge holders had cracked. Both sides. I have had to duct tape the hinges to keep the cup section from falling out. 7 months later the entire headband began to have hairline cracks just from placing them on my head and removing them. The plastic material is of very poor quality with no elasticity over time. These things are falling apart! Junk junk junk...

Join the club. But, the thing is, that like any other pair of new earbuds/headphones. It is all about the comfort, fit, and positioning of the speaker position in relation to your personal ear/face shape. It is necessary to take the time to find the optimal settings for you, personally.

I have had the same pieces that you mentioned come off, then click back on without any harm.
