Hi,
 
I have treated my Hifiman-400s with the ultimate care.  This was made difficult by the ridiculously stiff sheathing on the cord.  Now I find that both wires have seen the sheathing break and peal away a half inch from the rubber surrounds at the jack into the phones.  I have tried to use electrical tape to provide protection and that fails miserably.  I would rather not have to pay 125 buck for a new cord.  Surely, this is a bad materials/design choice on the part of Hifiman.  Have any of you had success in fixing this issue?

I found this one on eBay made from Canare StarQuad cable. Make sure it's the right connectors though, there are other cables that kinda look like they have a different connector on the headphone end.
