Do you prefer L or I cable? - Page 2

I use inline remote controls with my arsenal of players so it has to be a straight plug unless I am using a pair of cans with either a long cord or a big (still 1/8") straight plug on them (such as my MDR-V700DJ's and most other full-sized cans), in that case I would use a 12" Radio Shack inline volume control (it has an L-plug) hooked up to the remote just to take off both the stress and the weight that a large-sized plug would cause on the remote.

Well, neither i guess. I prefer the slightly angled, diagonal L and not the completely right angled one. I've found it has the best of both worlds

I prefer I shape at home and portable. I find it's easier to put in my pocket with my iPod touch (like someone else mentioned) and more comfortable to hold overall.

L all the way because the the I ones definitely have more chances to break while plugged to a portable audio player in my pockets.

But like the majority I think the I jacks look better and are more convenient to handle, so for home use I would go for I (but most of my use for earphones is on the go).

L-shaped, I have an I-shaped jack on my current IEMs and with my dap on my pocket, i find that it bends the cable near the jack when I sit down.

I as L shaped ones seem to have a tendency to fail on me as the cable comes out of them and then turns 90 degrees to go straight up and out of my inside pocket. Straight jacks also come out much easier if something catches on your headphone cable and pulls it. No iems dragged out of your ears painfully or player pulled out of your pocket.

My vote for L shape for a lower profile.

I prefer the L but I do not mind the I plug if it is constructed well.

I've found the L shaped cable creates less microphonics IMO.

L have lower profile, thus being more sturdy if you use them while walking, etc.

Definitely L type for anything portable, for home use I prefer I type.
