How in the heck have you broken them twice?!?! 0.o
I've had mine since shortly after release and have not had a singular problem. Let alone having them crack, or having a 2nd pair crack.
I take care of my stuff.
I can assure OP that they of a very decent build quality and they sound is pretty damn good with nice low bass notes. The software (that you NEED to download from Corsair's website), offers plenty of customization, with numerous pre-sets to choose form, as well as having an EQ, which you can you fiddle with to your hearts content to get whatever sound it is you're chasing.
You may find a problem with having them a bit bulky (I don't)... but thats prolly cos of the 50mm drivers sitting in there, and the nice memory foam that cups your ears maybe.
In all honesty... they're not that big, and they're not that heavy at all.
They're a headset.... you're not trying to impress anyone while your sitting at your computer, or while walking to the toilet to go hang a leak.
Peace.
