It's kind of a high-risk, high-reward. CV1 is cheap and appealing, but cable failure is rendering it useless. Cable is *not* breaking all the time (although it definitely has the capability to do that: i've fixed mine and god, you have no idea how crappy it is inside), but when it breaks, you can just throw the rest of your system away. I wouldn't reject a good CV1, but i'd make quadruple sure that cable is in a good condition (for example, good indicator of a bad cable is that it won't work with a ~1.8m cable extender), and I'd take very good care of it while playing. It's pretty much unavoidable that cable will be twisted around the point where it's clipped to headset, so make sure this twist isn't too severe - and then, if you're not discouraged by a nonzero probability of catastrophic failure, go for it. CV1 is a neat little system.

also, $300 isn't really all that cheap, i'd say it's merely a "reasonable price".
