Technology hates me...
12 years ago
I'm so upset right now I swear I want to cry a little. My turtle beach HD headphones are crapping out on me. The headphones that I spent ONE HUNDRED SIXTY DOLLARS on a little over a year ago that have a lifetime warrantee on them are dying because ONCE AGAIN the connection in the wires of something that I own is failing.
Yesterday during a Skype call I noticed that the person who I was skyping with's voice was cutting in and out intermittently and sounding like he was far off. At first I thought it was on his end, but then I realized the wire on my own headphones was causing it depending on which angle it was bent. I thought I got it all fixed yesterday since when it's malfunctioning it gets that far off feel to it, but today while listening to Homestuck music which I memorized by HEART with how many times I've listened to it, I realized certain pitches of sound are lost now, even with the huge amount of electrical tape I have around it now to keep it from moving. I'm so mad, because I loved these headphones, they're amazing. And because of the electrical tape patchjob I did on the wire bending it back so that it stays in place, I don't know if I voided the warrantee on it or not. Just one more thing in a long list of grievances since I got my first laptop in 2010 I suppose. Even though it's just a little thing, I still know it's going to drive me crazy because of my OCD knowing that I'm missing out on sounds I should be hearing because they're supposed to be HD.
Guys... any advice for me? What should I do?

Happy hunting for an exceptional pair of headphones!
I'd have to agree with the guy above me. Mid-tier headsets are pretty much the way to go it seems. The one I have right now has lasted me much longer than the Turtle Beach.
with headphones the really expensive ones tend to be bleh yet the cheaper ones are the ones that last you years and years XP
If it has a lifetime warranty though, I figure you'd be better off following up on another replacement than buying a new set altogether.. when it comes to that anyway.
