It’s still a bit weird to me that I am having to adapt to wearing the same headset as my previous headset, but just as a newer pair.
I got the exact same model of headset so that I won’t have to get used to it or anything, but the fact it hasn’t been worn for several years means the experience is different anyway, even if the fit is the same.
The volume dial actual has resistance and snaps into the neutral position, the headband fully curls inwards, and in general the entire thing is more stiff and rigid.
I do like how clean it is though, it’s not like I neglected to take care of my old pair, but cleaning this type of headphone is a pain (and partially why I think the ear cushion eventually just peeled away from its mounting system entirely), and five years of constant use takes its toll on anything. My mouse for example, even when cleaned, is in a horrible state where the rubber padding has worn away right down to the plastic on the sides where my fingers grip it. Honestly it could do with replacing too.
