Query: Short lifespan

I've gone through a number of cassette adapters in the last ten years, but this particular model had by far the shortest lifespan. The cord gave out within two months, leaving me with sound only through the right channel. The cord's exit point is too low on the cassette, meaning that it will be bent by any "drop in" car cassette deck. The unit also has a decent amount of operating noise. I'll avoid Sony cassette adapters in the future.
