The thing that concerns me is how you seems to handle your IEMs. I'm not a picky guy, so, I don't transport them all the time in cases or even put them on cases when I'm not using them, but all my IEMs could last forever if wasn't for some issues with strain relief at the 3.5mm jack. I use my IEMs "A LOT" and most of the time they coming out from inside my pockets, and the cables will brake some time, always at the same point. That's why I have always extra 3.5mm plugs at home...
GR07 is an expensive IEM, very well built in my opinion, but i can notice a flaw on the design: they are extremely hard to take off your ears, and I can imagine a lot of people, when in a hurry, using the cable to pull them out. The Strain relief in the ear piece is not the best thing I saw in my life, they are too rigid and small. I can see the cable breaking right there if someone don't take care of the IEM.
Remember, specially GR07, for more than 150 bucks, is a little jewel that you need to take care... If you're not so careful, you'll be buying new IEMs and upgrading your profile just the way it is right now:
