Query: Same problem as Diogenes

I had exactly the same issue as Diogenes (see review above) - the "durable" cord (and it certainly looks and feels extremely durable!) within a month or two gets some sort of weakness near the headphone jack and the sound to one ear becomes unreliable and then stops. Exactly the same problem with a replacement pair. Infuriating, because WHILE THEY WORK they are terrific earphones. Sounds like a serious, consistent problem to me...
