Any chance of a third cable option? Say with a 90 degree jack and 90 degree connector section like Fidue sirius/virgo cable?
I find that too many manufacturers design IEMs for portables and smartphones, but then they make the jack non-90º. Sticking out and just asking for a bendgate of some sort.
It makes our portables slightly less pocketable due to the added length. I'd rather stick with a stock cable that is already in 90º so I don't have to add yet another variable that will change the sound sig/tonality: third-party cables.
I had to send my Cowon Plenue 2 back to Korea for repair of a sloppy 2.5mm jack. Since then I've purchased a right angle-to-straight adapter, which allows me to swap headphones/IEMs without wear and tear on the jack in the DAP, and which prevents me accidently torquing the connector in the jack. I don't know for certain that the jack failure was due to torquing the straight-out connector, but it's the leading suspect, with too many headphone swaps being the next most likely cause.
