Bought this a while back and I'm still using it today, but the microphone died not to long ago (which i think is the switch), the only reason the wires will give in is over twisting and miss-use which we can probably all admit we do, great quality headset, fits very comfortably on me, although i wouldn't put it as a first choice with all the other headsets around on the same budget.

The headset is great and will last a while as long as you have no kids and are very very careful with them, the cable is similar to what you would find on a £1 pair from poundland, approx 2-3 mm thin and that contains 4 internal wires sheathed in copper wire! the internal wires are no more than copper hairs, I know cos i soldered them when one side stopped working through the lead twisting. I was unable to get the microphone working again properly though. Basically it is a wonder that any serious sound comes out at all it is so fragile. The unit itself is sturdy enough it is just let down by a pathetically flimsy cable. The inline volume control is another weak point where handliung in this area causes loud scratch/interference noises.

They are very very uncomfortable, squeezing my small head.

They broke after 3 days and i hardly touched them but for the 3 days they did work the sound quality of both the microphone and earphones were amazing.
