got my jaben es8 cables today, 1000x times better than stock.  I couldn't justify dropping $100+ for new cables right now, so for under 50 bucks these are great!

I don't mind the cable at all, but after a few days the stock splitter on my cable is having issues.  The right earphone cuts out some days and some days its fine.  Intermittent issue, love the headphones, cable doesn't seem the best though

glad I could help, the whole thing was much easier than i thought it would be!

I recabled mine last month, use a heat gun to warm the glue up and you can pry the casing right apart

I used my s4 for over a year in the gym, 4-5 days a week for a couple hours each time and they took tons of abuse and still were perfectly fine once I stopped using them a month ago.  They would on occasion get ripped out of my ears also, so i would say they are pretty durable.

I've had mine for over a year and the logo wore off pretty quickly.  But then again I use and abuse my s4, they are primarily used in the gym and yeah they get beat on. I just recabled them the other day because they were starting to cut in and out.
