Hello everyone - I am new here although I have been reading the site for years. I was hoping to get some advice from some of the thousands of experts that roam around in here. I have a pair of Sennheiser HD650s that I love and I wear them all the time and everywhere (grocery store, Target, work, gym, etc.) and they are usually plugged into my iPhone which requires an adapter. One came with the HD650s but it eventually gets glitchy and the sounds cuts out a little at first and then i have to hold it in the perfect position for it to work at all - I have gotten replacement adapters from Sennhesier that are about 8 inches long, they eventually go bad, and recently I have been buying the short stub versions but I still hear random static and noises that I shouldn't hear. It's annoying and I'm tired of having to mange it. I am worried that I am doing something fundamentally wrong with how I care for my headphones or cables. Please let me know what mistakes I am making and how to be sure that I can get solid clear sound out of an adapter for longer than a week or two.
I used to have a pair of Shure SE425 in ear earphones that I would wrap up and store in their case when I wasn't wearing them and they kept having the same problem. My conclusion with those was that Shure has great technology but use cables that are way too thin and cheap compared to the in-ear piece. Like putting $20 tires on a Ferrari. Not sure what to do but I would really appreciate some tips. Lost the SE425s somehow so am looking for some new in-ear.
Thanks in advance. Eric.
