My Overworked Headphones

Busted Headphones

For the past two years I’ve been working at home and in during that time I purchased some really nice headphones. These headphones connect to both my XBox and my phone. I am able to watch shows while I work and also take calls without ever having to take them off. Well, I guess the wear and tear of taking them off and putting them back on again put stress on the headphones and they snapped at a critical point. I have no idea how a break would happen in that spot but it must be how I take them off and put them on. The break is right below where the headphones can swivel from side to side and where they flex out a bit. The break was all the way through, too. I first attempted to use super glue on it but that did not work very well so I then put duct tape on it to keep it together. It works, for now. Nothing internal to the device was broken but now I have a big silver piece of duct tape on the side of it. Luckily it is not too noticeable in my videos.
