I've had this set for just over 4 months, and the strain relief on the plug is splitting to the point that I can see copper. In addition, one of the earphone strain reliefs is splitting in the same fashion. Now, I haven't exactly babied this phones, and the straight plug does lend itself to mishaps, but less than 5 months?! I've had a lot of headphones, and I've never had a pair go bad in this kind of time frame.

Yeah, you alway have to go gentle with IEMs if you came from a headphone background. My experience was worse with the plug and cable split in two. IEMs are more delicate and generally (limited experience) have a thin cable compared to headphones, maybe half as thick? correct me if I'm wrong.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I have had a lot of earphones, and I've never seen this problem.
