Take two minutes and tin the ends with solder and you're good for years... My favorite in ear monitor brand just was sold and they changed the headphone cord to ultra thin shite that is "more pure" I'm an audio engineer....it's horseshit.

The stuff in the audio world is mind boggling. I think LTT did a video on a network switch that made sound better or something.
