Logitech premium 350 headset

[Phillip Powell 1062160]

Hi, I've had a pair of these for a few months and they have been great.

 

This morning the seem to have got a mind of their own. I've removed and reiserted them but they consistently run the volume to max and the mike is always on.

 

Anybody seen this before or have any ideas.

 

I've emailled Logitech but not sure how long a reply will take.

 

Thanks

Phillip, I consider those headsets as "expandable goods" - they start acting up, buy a new one.

Unfortunately, nowadays it's nearly impossible to find a real good quality headset without spending some 200EUR on a pair. Though, if you're a serious simmer and really need a headset, you may find it cheaper to buy an expensive one straight away. I've went through about 6-8 headsets in the past four years (ok, one or two were just too uncomfortable to wear, others I broke in one way or another ).

Thanks Ivan, I thought it might be a bit like that.

 

I've had a poke around inside the package and now the mike works ok!!! I didn't do anything honest! I've set the audio wav slider to 5% which, with the volume at 100% at least makes the headset serviceable until I can replace it.

 

Cheers

Phillip, also a small note - it's most likely that the POT (variable resistor) used to turn the volume down (on the headset itself) has a short circuit or something. That would get the headset stuck at "maximum volume"
