Anyway the wont try them infront of u or shit so im fine

Nothing will happen, just try to put in everything in the box like nothing happend and don't make it look suspicious.

Also make sure not to be an idiot about it. Clean up your old headset so it doesn't look like complete ass when you return it.

Think you're kinda stuck with whatever model you have man, they obviously check to make sure shit is inside the box, its not going to fly if you have a completely different headset in there.

The store you idiot.

Let me clarify if you honestly dont know what is going on.

You buy a new headset of the same exact model from a brick and mortar store, preferably with cash.
Take the new one's out and stick your broken set into the box. Take the box and the receipt back to the store for a full refund.

Oh daum. That's what I do with my games

If you have a careful hand, you can easily solder the bad connection (not sure where exactly it broke). All you need is a physical conductive connection with a generous cross-sectional area where the solder is, since it's order of magnitude less conductive than the Al-Cu alloy wire. Should result in minimal signal losses that by ear you won't even notice. Silver paint also works well, but not quite as well. I've done this with headsets, then epoxy'd over the fix area (make sure it works before you put epoxy). That area then will most likely last longer than the original parts.

I wouldn't suggest stealing from the company. Always good to have some integrity.

Any wire will work with minimal signal loss really as long as the gauge is thick enough. It will take some time but will be extremely satisfying once you do it, it works, and you've taught yourself some useful skills

Yes you can. Get a hammer, pliers and something with a sharp end like a razor blade. Be creative.
