Query: Muffled sound, many incompatibilities and poor leather earpads

Right out of the box I've noticed that my lifechat had a muffled sound (ok ! this is a matter of taste) and I decided to not use it much, prefering to hear my mp3s and games alike with my soundblaster speakers. But a few months ago, the leatherette earpads started to peel off showing great signs of wear and tear in spite of the headset not being used that much. I am greatly disapointed with this headset.
