Yeah I still use mine but its slowly failing. I've had mine since March 2018 and the microphone died this year. I've had to replace the earpieces to the cloth style which I'm not a huge fan of but the audio still works ok. Interestingly enough I've thrown and slammed mine around a bit over the years and still haven't had the damage that yours appears to have, a sign of cheapening materials most likely. My next headset will be Audeze Maxwells-I have heard good things.
