The metal can easily get dents from normal usage in my opinion. I posted a photo a few pages back showing the dents with the word "Yamaha" worn out. Of course my son could have been more careful in using it. But we know we have the housing bumping here or there from time to time just from taking them off. So I believe it's not all his fault. The metal seems not in good quality.
The cable also seems to be of low quality to me.
The pictures you posted had scratches, not dents. See here:
This poor iem looks like it's been subjected to abuse. Headphone protective services will probably come collect hem soon. Even the tips look filthy. I'm sure your son is a good kid, but he obviously doesn't know how to care for stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if he's still in the 6th grade.

Again, scratches not dents, and horrible care. Anything that can scratch metal will certainly scuff off a logo. Also, the cable is good quality, sir. It may not be superb, but it is good. I've had cables ranging from the kevlar reinforced shure cables, to the horrible monoprice 8320 cable. Nothing is wrong with the cable.
So far my son has not complained about the Yama which is the good news. The bad news is the Yama sounds pretty much crap to me when I throw at it with some symphonies.
Right. This is coming from the guy who started a thread saying that his old blackberry headset sounds better than his EX600. Link here:

Great. So then I can tell you to shut up. I hate when people are obnoxious for no reason. If you were articulately expressing whatever problems you have with the EPH, I would be patting you on the back. But here you are, a grown man with a child, acting petty. We've told you several times that the issue has to be your son't fault as
no iem could look like that within the space of a month if it was being cared for, not to talk of one that is made completely of metal. Maybe when you stop being so "Bad at identifying sound quality" like you thread title suggests, you can join the conversation with the rest of us. Comments like this:
"The Yama is
simply felt CHEAP stuff in my hands based on my assessment of the build quality (not the sound or price). My assessment is based on my
GUT feeling instead of any non-destructive testing usually performed by material scientists using sophisticated equipment."
simply don't belong on head-fi.
