How long is the service life of a wired gaming headset microphone?

The service life of wired game headset microphone is affected by a variety of factors, generally speaking, under normal use, its service life is about 2 to 5 years, the following is the specific analysis:

Factors affecting service life

• Frequency of use

o High frequency use: If the player uses the headset microphone for a long time every day for game voice, such as more than 8 hours a day, the vibration film, circuit and other components of the microphone will continue to be in the working state, the aging speed will be accelerated, and the sound quality may decline in 2 to 3 years, the radio is not clear and other problems.

Low frequency use: If it is only used occasionally, the use time is not more than 10 hours per week, the loss of the components of the microphone is relatively small, and the service life may be extended to 4 to 5 years, or even longer.

• Use environment

Harsh environment: If used in a high temperature, wet or dusty environment, the microphone is susceptible to corrosion, moisture short circuit or dust blockage, which will seriously shorten the service life and may fail in 1 to 2 years.

Good environment: When used in a dry, suitable temperature and clean environment, it can effectively reduce the chance of damage to the microphone and help extend the service life, which can generally reach 3 to 5 years.

• Usage habits

o Improper use: Often pulling the microphone cable, frequently inserting and unplugging the microphone plug, Shouting at the microphone or hitting the headset, etc., will loosen and damage the internal components of the microphone, which may cause problems in a few months to 1 year.

Correct use: In the process of use, the movement is gentle, maintain the appropriate volume and distance, and do not randomly beat the headset, the service life of the microphone will be significantly extended, usually up to 3 to 5 years.

• Product quality

o Low-quality products: some low-cost, low-quality headphones, the microphone uses poor materials and processes, internal component quality is unstable, may be used 1 to 2 years will appear a variety of failures.

o High-quality products: high-end headphones of well-known brands have strict standards in the design, material selection and manufacturing process of the microphone, the quality is more reliable, the service life can generally reach 3 to 5 years, and some high-quality products can even be used for more than 5 years.
