Nice! Why didn't I think of that?

Thanks very much for your responses guys. I was wondering if what I was doing was abonormal. The cable is under my clothes when i take the train and under my clothes when I work out. The Klipsch guys have been really good about the returns thus far. They sent me a prepaid label to return this pair. I really love these head phones but I was beginning to wonder if there is an inherent flaw in the manufacturing process. Th cloth covering seems like a good idea but i think in the end it's causing more trouble than it is solving, atleast for me anyway. It is however good to know that other people have not babied the headphones and they have stood up well. I would say that on average I used to use the head phones 4 - 5 hours a day but both times the left channel failed and listening to one channel was quite diorienting. Hopefully I'll get my replaement pair soon and as improbable as it was to get two faulty sets hopfully this is the last I have to deal with this problem. Thanks again!

Hi Guys, I have a pair of custom 3 headphones. They're quite possibly the best pair of headphones i've ever had and I enjoy them a lot. I have however been having a lot of issues with the cable. I'm actually on my second pair, there seems to be this phenomenon where there are micro breaks in the cloth outer housing and the wire inside tends to bulge through these breaks, this seems to cause an extraordinary amount of stress on the cable and it breaks. Withe first pair, it took about 3 months for this to happen (i bought the head phones in april of this year and I had to return them in June) and I got this set in July and it's as if right on schedule 3 months later the same issue has happened again. I've lost the left channel already, the exact same thing happened. I'm almost at my wits end because i truly love these head phones. Should I just return them under the warranty and get a new pair of the custom 3's or should i get something different? Any advice you can give is very much appreciated.
