Well I have had the Razer Kraken's for a while now however they decided to just switch off when I was letting the cable untangle (I just held it up by the cable and let it 'spin itself out') and the lights went and it died (I guess). When I plug it in the cable also get very hot so I'm thinking that the current maybe is being blocked at the top of cable in the rubber bit. I have contacted the manufacturer to try and get a replacement however I was wondering if anyone has had this issue or knew of a possible fix if I couldn't get a replacement. Thanks. *if needed I can provide pictures however there isn't any visible damage of frayed wire.
