Just so you guys know, you can buy strips of 3M tape on amazon for a couple of dollars and re-use your base magnets, rather than spending 15-20 dollars getting ripped off for a couple more. The old tape comes off pretty easy if you work the edges then rip it off, and the new tape adheres exactly the same.

UzuzuIt's not a secret, we list it on our FAQ as an option :) Also our base clasp packs cost 8 dollars before shipping and come with the magnet. If all you need is the adhesive Amazon often has them at reasonable prices (though they are slightly larger so you'll have to cut them a bit).

aditxmanI appreciate the problem you're having with the adhesive, but the average life of people's adhesives is over 3 years based on our survey results. We believe this current adhesive is as strong as possible without damaging the surface it is applied to. Stronger adhesives exist, but we don't want our base clasp to damage the headphones should you remove it or the adhesive fail. I'm certainly not arguing that you're having difficulty with it, and you're certainly not the first or only person. I would love to know why your adhesive failed though, but its hard to ID since if you knew you wouldn't have the problem in the first place :) Here's some quick tips/common issues: Installation: Be sure to really clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol and make sure its totally dry. Don't touch the surface with your fingers after cleaning. Stick it on and hold it down very firmly for 1-3 minutes and then let it rest for an hour. For even more firmness, heat the adhesive with a hair dryer and let it rest with a book or something on it overnight. Careful not to melt the adhesive.
Cable and Resting Positions: Once you get the cables set up how you want, make sure there's a little bit of slack on the microphone cable so the mic isn't taking the entire weight of the headphone cable and any cable stress. Don't rest the device ON the mic when you set it down. If you don't have a good headphone stand, just lay your headphones down mic-up. Most adhesive failures do not occur due to a sharp amount of force, but rather a small amount of force over a prolonged period.
If I can think of more I'll post them :)

aditxmanThe adhesive is fine, I never switched tape with my old headphones (closed back) switched to an open back headphone which caused me to replace the adhesive more often. And who cares about replacing adhesive, the microphone is great and being able to use my favourite headphones for VOIP is amazing.
