Final decision

[stunt101]

Thank you all for commenting on my previous posts about which earphone to pick to replace my broken ones. I have decided I will be most likely getting Super.fi.3 ears instead of the ER-6i because of durability and replacement of the cable.

However, I still got one question:
Do the ER-6i's wire break easily? As in does it break more easily than the standard earphones. Looking at the many pictures of them online, they look rather thin (like if I pull on them with my hand they'd yank out).

Thank you again for the comments in advance, I have gained a lot of respect for the head-fi community.

well, looking at them you would think they are not very durable but ive never experienced problems so far, and i have had trouble with thicker cables so...judge them how you like, its all about how you treat your earphones, almost all earphone cables will last if care is taken well

pez, who did the review I linked you to, originally thought that the super.fi 3's were sturdier. However, in your last thread, he responded and said that despite the looks of the er6i's, they're quite tough.

I consider them really durable and strong.
