    Whatever peripheral you have is going to get broken before the battery becomes unusable

        The. Plug it in all the time after that. What’s the difference?

          The cable will generally be longer out of the box, and will be less likely to come unplugged if you accidentally pull it

              No no certainly not, but I’ve never pulled so hard on a headset that any damage was ever done to my headset

              I suppose if you’re living such a rock and roll lifestyle wireless may be best

      Can confirm this is not true.

      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.
