Final straw was tripping on them lol
Be honest, would a Plantronics have broken if stepped on/tripped over?
Yes, but my point was, the plastic above the ear pieces was already broken by that point. They could still function as headphones if you did not mind your ear getting scraped by jagged plastic occasionally. I had to super glue them back together twice to keep them lasting as long as they did. The tripping just ruined the USB connector and made the headset completely unusable.
The fact is that the guts of the eDimensional headsets are awesome and provide glorious sound, but the way they are held together is haphazard and shoddy. When you first open the box you will see what I mean. The entire thing feels like it would break if you touch it to hard. The Sennheiser I just bought feels as if I could stand on it and there would be no repercussions. Considering you are paying 40-60 dollars for the eDimensionals, I consider it worth it to spend an extra 20 dollars for Sennheiser which is constructed better, and sounds 10x better than the eDimensionals.
Or you can go the Nickname route and just get a Plantronics for the 13 dollars.
