Well, I certainly retract my statement that they looked rough. The first pic did, 2nd did not.
I just now ordered the SE530s (yea, even after seeing the pic and reading the posts). When I talked to the vendor he stated that he has only had two cable issues out of maybe 100 units sold. 2% defect rate does not seem that bad to me. I did not check on other earphones, but I would think most manufacturers would find a 2% defect rate an acceptable level, even though quality control wishes for 0%. Not defending Shure and not justifying my purchase.
But I'm like you ch28kid. If I have consistant problems with a manufacturer I just don't do business with them any more. You won't find a GM product in my garage or driveway because of persistant problems with them through several vehicles.
