The best cables by far are on the sennheiser ie8. They are extremely durable and the ie8 sounds great.

Don't lift with expensive headphones.

The TF10s are good enough to compete with the more expensive IEMs.

TriFi10 are $400 earphones, plus it was already said, don't workout with expensive earphones. That's foolish.

On topic, I believe the SA6 have a detachable cable...

All my IEMs have survived long hours of the gym, jogging, ice skating and table tennis with no problems at all, whether or not they had removable cables. For the gym, EX1000s are great because the impact of your feet is less heard (due to less isolation), and because it has a chin slider. Also, two IEM cables are included, one long and and one short (which is good if you are scared of snapping the cable).

Aparently sweat isn't very good for Westones, if you considered them.

However, if you are concerned about the life of your IEMs, you might want to try ER4P, because some people seem to report the life of these phones to be over 10 years.
On the other hand, I don't think you should be judging which IEMs to buy based on the fact that they have a detachable cable.

Have you considered Customs? With $600, you could be looking at JH5, UE5, 1964 Quad, maybe even a Westone ES2 if you can score a deal.

I can personally vouch from experience that the EX600 sounds better than the SE535, I'm talking like 20% better.

With $600 he could get a 6-driver custom.

The ergonomics suck and you can get a custom with the ER-4P/S/B driver for cheaper than the ER-4 itself.

Gui Ling customs, also known as G-customs.

Highly regarded company in China, I think you should reconsider.

I don't think he wanted customs.
