Usually the earpiece stops working but sometimes the other part stops working.

Open the ear piece thing, a wire probably came loose and you can solder it back on. Or maybe the little metal piece might be coming off at where it plugs into the controller? That happened to my first headset somehow.

Are you insinuating that I haven't? Because that's dumb. Don't make me go Alec Baldwin on you.

 Well, if everyone has had theirs for awhile, and your's keeps breaking, then there's a sign you must be doing something wrong.  There is no reason for it to break unless you do something to it, you're not cursed by the evil microsoft headset corporation, you're probably abusing it.  I've had mine for 5 months, never had a problem, and yea I've taken it out of the box >_>

 

50 hours a week?  Do you have no life?  You spend more time playing live than people spend working their full time jobs, do you not go to school or work?

I've had my xbox for over ayear and i haven't had a problem with my headset.  My friend also gave me his headset and I haven't had a problem with that one either.  Although I will admit.. they do seem kindof cheaply made.. but hey if it works then whatever.

Yea its not you its your headset. the one that came with my xbox did the same thing. Allot of people have that problem. I bought another one and I also got one when I bought my xbox camera and they work fine. Its not because you don't take care of your stuff there's just some faulty ones out there its in the electronics.And by the way I take very good care of my things.

Well, I can tell you one thing, I've had my Xbox since Launch and still have the original headset (although I've since upgraded to the wireless) and I play at least 50 hours a week (up until recently, since there aren't any good games out that I haven't already beaten or are interested in). I've never had any equipment break on me and I use it alot.  Just take care of it and store it in a safe place.

This is the same situation I'm having, I've went through 3 headsets so far and mysteriously they just stop working out of the blue. No! It's not from misuse or abuse I take care of the things I own, anyways I don't see how anyone really could break a headset unless you stepped on it which leaves me to beleive their is a bunch of faulty headsets out there. I mean how carefull do you have to be with a darn headset.

my launch one lasted a while.  Only problem with it is that I cant hear wat others are saying.  The headphone part broke but the mic works so now i just listen to people through the speakers which is a pain in the ass sometimes.

the orig. Xbox live head set. It's strong durable and long lasting. I started xbox live with it then went on to some other headsets that died and broke and then went back to it and am still using it to this day.
