<human>: I'll try to keep this short. I got the Steelseries 7H Analog Headset on September 16th, 2010. Beautiful headset while it lasted. The cup opposite the mic started cutting in and out mid-December, and eventually stopped working all together. I sent it in for an RMA, payed the $15 shipping, got it back a month later.

It worked for about three weeks until maybe a week ago since I got it back, and now the cup opposite the mic has just stopped working (It's a problem in the contacts somewhere in the headset, I can get it to work for a split second by shaking vigorously).

I don't want to pay $15 to ship it to them and get a broken headset back again. I emailed them asking for a refund. I was told that I had the option of sending it in and receiving a different headset plus a mousepad or Ikari Optical instead. I'm really not looking for a Steelseries headset (And quite frankly, anything "gaming") anymore. I have a good mousepad and great mouse I am very happy with.

Can anybody advise me on what to do next? As of now I have a broken headset for which I payed $145 sitting on my desk.

Thanks in advance, Reddit, because I'm completely at a loss for what to do.

Condense the text into a few key points
<bot>: Headset broke, RMA'd, broke, bad build quality and design. Company can't give refunds. I refuse to keep RMAing it at my expense to get a broken piece of periphery back. Wat do?
