I just received my headset and am curious from reading the reviews where the wire failure is occurring. Is it at the plug end, the hook end?

I can't say for sure, but I believe it's happening at the base of the hook, on the wire. Just so you know I've had these lastest ones I bought at least a year, and so far they have worked great. I don't know if it's because I am more careful, or because they are made better now. I thought I was pretty careful before though. Good luck!

I don't know. I've got two of these and have never had an issue although they do look a bit fragile. I'd guess at the ear piece.

I have bought these in the past. Even with careful handling they go out after a few months. Usually for me one of the sides will stop working.

I had issues with it every use. I had to unplug the adapter and plug it in every time, and then it would work. So I stopped using it. When there was this same headset with a wired 3.5mm plug (that is no adapter,) it was THE BEST ... that item has been discontinued, unfortunately.

Are you using the Xbox 360? I set mine up with the wired rather than wireless to keep it simple. Some times wireless has a power problem ( Modem etc). I used the talk back cable. I used the optic cable/ or use the USB cable. It's a great headset. I went from the Xbox to the headset control stand and then to the headset. Keep it simple as possible and you should have no problems. I hope this helps you.

I have not found any such problem with my new headset. I used an identical one for at least 5 years, and never experienced this.

Mos tlikely a 'fail safe' from power surge to protect your unit. Mine did the same thing for days as I scratched my head and tried numerous things. Discovered it was a shorted out and crossed iwred speaker wire from one of my Polk Audio sourround speakers. It was shorting and causing the unit to shut down. I had to connect a different amp to find out. My Sony told me it was a bad wire connection.Check ALL your cables, wires, and connectors. All must be tight and not shorts. All tips must be terminated properly.

What I did was examine the shape of the end that plugs into the headset closely. It is an unusual shape and is unmistakeable.

I think you do have to buy something else. I couldn't get my headset to plug into my phone. It wasn't a regular phone cord plug on the headset. I returned mine because of that.

It's on the end. One end comes apart so you can insert it in a USB port (in your car or computer) and the other has a hole for the headset. Hope this helps.

I haven't experienced that. My Blinc's headset connector broke in about a month so I was very disappointed with it.

Not for my headset. Though I've heard of this happening from the cord that connects the headset to the controller breaking but the cord is replaceable and cheap.

Sorry Darlene....I am not an expert on the matter, but just used trial and error method when purchasing at Radio Shack to find the headset that worked best. Phil

The wire connected to this headset connects to my transmitter which I wear on a belt; it does not connect to the amp Hope this helps.

I really have no idea why. I have had the same headset for more than a year and have no problems with it. My son also has it, and both work perfect.

I haven't had any issues with it so far and I keep and use a headset plugged in there on a daily basis. My friend also has this same case and hasn't had an issue either. If I remember right, the last case had the ground in an area that caused interference. I'm not sure if this is in the same place or not.

No I do not, sadly. The USB part broke off when I unplugged it. Logitech may have an extra part, I would try giving their customer service a call. Or, they may just end up sending you a new headset like they did with me multiple times.

I have a very similar experience, and also want to know how to position them successfully. They only get full signal to my BTE aids if I position the hooks over the top of my ear (pinna) - very unstable.
