Thanks!
Unfortunately, I beg to differ. To me there is an inherent design flaw with the cable and if they aren't being returned that is just because the consumer does not know any better. I was extremely gentle with my pair to where I never used it outside and during exercise. I also never wrapped it around my mp3 player, I always put it back in the case when done with it and was very careful not to put any stress on the strain relief parts of the cable, and yet still after only 1 month, the strain reliefs split open. Now don't get me wrong, everything else I love about the X10 including the sound and how light and comfortable they are to wear, and how easy they are to insert with the oval gels and get a good seal.

But like I said, for how gentle I was with these, there is no way they should have had issues after just one month. And I can just look at the construction and see that there are design issues with the strain reliefs.

So, if this issue has been resolved with a newer cable, I am upset that after having to send mine back, they were just replaced with the same older version which is going to have the same problem again?
