Califone - USB Headset

I'm writing a review now, after having these for about three months. They worked good for a while, I was able to use them for communication as well as listening to several programs no problem. However when recording with them, they seemed to have a bit of a persistent humming problem every since I first got them. It was sporadic, and seemed to be mostly fine for a long while. However, it's only been three months, and already the wire on the inside of the ear piece had given out. Over the course of three days, the wire was extremely fussy in regards to whether or not the left earpiece would work, making it so I'd have to hold my head still in order to get any complete sound. As of an hour ago, they finally gave out. Normally wouldn't have been an issue, however for what I had to pay for these I would have expected a bit of a longer life. Overall, I'd say they are good if you're not planning on moving your head---ever. The cord doesn't seem to be designed on the inside of the earpiece to have any sort of durability whatsoever.
