Agreed. I've had 3 or 4 of them over the years - great headset and in particular noise cancellation (airplanes, trains, etc.), but man, they break so easily. The plastic on the "brick" comes off, the little plastic ridge that holds the ear tips in place has come off on one side (so the ear tip falls off constantly), if you have the thing plugged in with the airplane adapter to the socket in your armrest and stand up, the whole 3.5 mm plug can rip off, the cable frays, etc. etc.
