Headset snapped, likely to get a replacement?

As per title? What are the odds? They're 11 months old (Christmas pressie

) and here http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SP-003-PT&groupid=702&catid=1058&subcat=1718

A good headset imo, the "5.1" was effective in FPS games and the build quality felt good, tough and heavy....really shocked they broke just putting them on my head

So if the answer is no chance of a replacement what would you recommend I get? The headset will 90% of the time be used for FPS games and voice comms. The remaining 10% will be movies and music when I'm trying not to wake anyone.

Thanks in advance!

OcUK not replying in the CS forums either, I wonder if this is a bad sign

Mine did EXACTLY the same thing just with usual wear.

I take it they have snapped just above the mic?

I repaired mine myself with some superglue and tape, but then they broke again. I neded up buying some Creative ones. Really good headset but I have heard of a few of them snapping on the headband. Pity really.

I would go direct to Plantronics if I were you. My previous epxerience of their customer service is pretty good. I broke one of their bluetooth telephone systems after a few months and they replaced it straight away.

Yea, just above the mic

Thanks for the tip, I'll try their CS if OcUK won't do anything.
