not because they needed it, but because I wanted them to last for my next session with no issues. Final thoughts: I expect to get years of use out of it. Super comfy and cute! Wow, for the price these are beautiful. 0, noise cancelling, great microphone for zoom calls, superb sound quality, waterproof, last for absolutely ages. The light that indicates its charging or charged is so tiny. Without hesitation a new cord was offerd. It helped with locating footsteps of enemies in games too with clear sounds. Highly recommend though! Mouse wheel and logo are very well lit.
