I get your point about the cost of cables, and yes I am willing to pay more for a better overall experience.  The M6 is far from a perfect IEM.  As for how I treat my IEMs they live in my pocket, often with my phone.  I disconnect them, but wrap them around themselves and put them in my pocket...

Care to elaborate? Do you own a pair? Are they durable as well as having a removable cable? A replacement cable costs about $30....almost 2 pairs of M6's

I am looking to replace my M6P's as they have lately been outputting sound from only one ear, as the cable has broken inside the tubing near the 90 degree 3.5mm jack.  I could probably get them replaced under warranty (I've only had them for 6 months) but I have other plans for them.  I enjoyed...
