Nope, doesn't affect sound quality. The purpose of the flat cord help stop the cord from tangling into a pile of spaghetti. Unfortunately, flat cords are less durable because they are less flexible moving the flat cable left and right and can and can cause the cable to fray at the jack over time. It's quite a common problem with the Beats Tours I believe.
