Used for many many hours for gaming, video editing, lisening to music, making calls. Used in many enviroments with no fault. Mic is great, seem waterproof to me, matarial holding the slider together snapped slightly 5 years in- bit of tape did the trick, muffs do wear out (more comfy) simple replacement of $35 from multiple sites. Battery is superb- doesn't use any battery if plugged in
