I'm a little tired of headphones breaking. With daily use and sitting in pockets, the constant cable flexing and reaction with skin oils, it all attributes to broken cables. I owned a pair of Shure E2C headphones which broke sometime last year due to constant flexing, and my upgraded Shure SE310's broke just before the beginning of the new year as the rubber housing stiffened and cracked. That's just how headphones go, they break, but thank goodness for Shure's excellent warranty program as I received my replacement headphones in a week.
Tired of shipping them in, I decided on a little mod that will hopefully prolong the life of this current pair. The goal is to prevent cable crinkling and also to avoid contact with skin oils. For this, we need braided cable sleeves, heat shrink tubing, heat source (heatgun or lighter).
