I've broken my Xbox LIVE headset :(

[Phil]

:cry:

I was playing Mechassault and right in the middle of the game I had to answer the phone. So when I come back, I pick the headset up quickly and 'snap' :cry:

The bit which holds the neckband and the earpiece together has snapped in half. I've just superglued the whole thing back together. I don't know if it will work. :( I'll phone M$ at the weekend to find out about replacements.

Lesson for the day - no game is ever that important and treat the headset with respect at all times.

[Phil]

superglue didn't work :( , but some cable tie things that I found did the trick.

I'll phone up and get a new one. I'm prepared to pay for one, because it was clumsiness on my behalf, not the headset's fault.

[James]

nothing to do with the fact that you were losing and threw it down in disgust :wink:

[Phil]

no... :roll:

[The King]

Yo man, i did the same stinkin' thing to my head set last night toooooooooo :cry:

The bit where the speaker and microphone bit where it clips on the headband is all broken :cry: :cry:
I am playing with a roll of cellotape around it and was wondering did u get a new headset and if yes where from and the price etc................

Cheers man,

King

[Phil]

No, i fixed it and it works fine. I'll go and take a picture of it and get it up here ASAP.

[The King]

Yeah man i was just wondering if you got a new one. I will probubly superglue it's ass back together, we have some really good stuff in the powerstaion that ought to do the trick,

Cheers anyway man,

King

[Phil]

[Phil]

Here are the photos. They're quite big and the brightness has been adjusted so you can see it properly.

I've used a cable tie that you get with kitchen freezer bags and wrapped it around the part where they meet. Note the sexy table cloth as well :P

[Jaz]

Neat bodge job Phil

Excellently Done :o

[Phil]

yeah, with the blu-tak superglued to the side, lol

[The King]

Yeah man, that is what exactly happened to my poor old headset :cry:

Well i will give my arldite a good first then i will think of an even better way to fix her up then i will post a picture showing you's my sexy bob the builder table cloth :lol:

Cheers for the pic man

King.

[Phil]

:P

I just sat down with some of those ties and pulled it around different ways until it was fixed. It won't work if it's held too tightly together - it'll just snap off :?, so give it some flexability.

[Sniper Rose]

Good idea phil i will proberly use that if my one ever gets broken,
cheers

[Phil]

yeah, it'll get broken soon enough :(

[Sniper Rose]

yer proberly it does seem a bit cheap

[silentbob101]

ring microsoft i did they give you a new one for free i did and the old one isnt even broke :D

[The King]

Nah man i rang them and they said they dont produce/sell headsets individually. The boy on the phone said to me that i had to buy a whole new starter kit to get a new headset, they are selling on ebay the odd time though..................

He also said that they would sell individually later on in the year but not now :cry:

[silentbob101]

[The King]

Nah man, northern Ireland

[PsychoticAbyss]

Mine snaped in half yesterday, but i used the good old superglue,

[Ives]

i know its about americans but on www.xbox.com they say

''Xbox Live Communicator – $29.99
Did the dog chew yours up? Want a spare for when friends visit? Whatever your motivation, you'll be able to score the headset for just $29.99. Just about everyone agrees that voice capability is the all-time supreme feature of Xbox Live, and you can keep the online chatter going for less than the price of your Sports Illustrated subscription.

So that's the price tag on Live service next year. We think you'll agree that Xbox Live will continue to offer a whole lot of bang for your buck!''

[PsychoticAbyss]
