My Corsair HS70 battery could only hold a charge for about 15 minutes after I had it for 1-1.5 years. The battery was the only bad thing about it at the time until I opened it up and replaced it. To make things worse, for that headset you have to manually take out the terminal pins and switch two of them for any Amazon battery because the wires are crossed the wrong way.
95% of people in the same situation would have just thrown the headset out and gotten a new one.
Well where I live they have to offer replacements for at least 2.5 years if the battery becomes degraded, I also know someone who used the Sony MDR 1000X until last year with frequent use and I they just replaced it since they got the XM4 for free.
That’s fair and definitely a good thing, but a decent pair of wired headphones could easily last 3-4x that timespan. E-Waste is a real problem! Good sounding headphones from 10 years ago will probably still sound pretty good today
Can confirm this is not true.
