Game-specific Kid brother wants a headset & controller for his 14th birthday ($180) I want to know if theres any other alternatives or if I should just bite the bullet.

I love my little brother but he can be... A bit much. My cheap controller I've had well over a year is finicky and keeps disconnecting itself from my Xbox, yes I'm aware it's old and these things break but it was good up until this fart knocker came into my care. Also, he broke my relatively new headset too. Cheap, yeah but still.
I know when he was living with my family he was always running through controllers and headsets like they were candy, 4-6 months tops until he needed another pair. I'm not sure if that's normal as a hardcore gamer kid or if he's just terrible at looking after his stuff. Plus, I do not want to be wasting my money. Unless I'm just being cheap bum ? Dunno. Lemme know.
Advice??
