That said, the colored cable does have a soft outer plastic and I can see it stripping like that. Do you think it's a sweat issue hardening the cable at that point in the strain relief? Or is it just the weight from over ear wear?

Lol I read that as "is it a sweat or a weight issue" thought you were asking if he was fat XD

Whoa that's crazy. Just from wearing over ear? I've been using the colored cable since day one and unplugging/replugging them every time with no issues. I also wind the cable to fit it into the travel case.

It could be either I suppose. The cable has definitely hardened above the y split after use.

I think it may be to do with how they bond the cable to the housing however. They use heat which looks like it's partially melting through the soft coating, weakening the join.

This is what I mean:

That looks pretty bad. I was thinking of wearing them over the ear too. Probably should just stick to wearing them straight down. Wearing them over the ear does it better for you?

oh no..

Mine came a bit suspicious also. It has kind of bad finish that could one day leave the cable loose and end like Bohdy. 
What about a drop of Krazy glue to prevent it from wearing?
Also, are there any other alternative cables that you know about and fit H-300?

A bit of epoxy could possibly work.
 
And there are a couple of aftermarket cables for the H-200 which would fit. I'm thinking about looking into that actually.

Thanks. going to try gorilla epoxy on a different cable to see how it dries before risking this one.

I have the same problem.

Probably it's meant to be worn straight down. But aftermarket cables for H300 are hard to find..

The only ones I know are the 7n OCC sold by T-Peos. I think I posted a pic of it before with the H-300.

Like a charm Although it does not fit all the way in. There is like a 0.5mm gap.
 

Here we are.

*7n OCC cable is not included with the H-300

 

[Bohdy]

There are also a couple of options on ebay

Not exactly cheap however.

Hi experts, can you please suggest me between Dunu DN2000 and H300?
I listen to pop 80%.
Need bigger soundstage, better sound clarity and tight bass.

One more thing I travel a lot, so don't prefer to carry an amp. IPhone 5 is my source.
I am more on casual side than analytical, but can't stand tonal harshness. My songs are mp3 320 k most of the times. I have only 20% Aflac collection.

Please suggest.

Thanks

Hey thanks for the information and pictures!

May I know how does it pair together?

From my experience, silver cable will probably enhance the clarity and brightness whilst giving the bass a tighter control. Because the H300 is pretty bright to begin with, I was thinking if a copper, SPC or hybrid cable would be more suited.
