how durable is the cable/jack

So far so good - I am pretty rough on things - but these are holding up well

The cable is thin but seems to be sturdy. The jack has good stress relief. I've had no problems

Moderate user here (about an hour of use in bus daily) . I bought one 11 months back and I found yesterday that cable has a 1cm tear near the left earpiece. Not sure it will be covered under the 2 year warranty.

Quite good. I've had issues in the past (e.g. a pair of Logitech UltimateEars that failed at the jack and at the bud connection) but the ERs have shown no sign of wear in the cable/jack after 8 months of use.

I don't see any issues... it is made of plastic (hence waterproof). The only concerns would be (i) the adhesive (you could reinforce it with a waterproof or more resistent glue) and (ii) the cables. Assuming your cables are waterproof I don't see any problem.

It did eventually break..... But I am very hard on cables. It lasted much longer than the other cables.

I have had it for a couple months now and it still works great. With having an iPhone, I use my laptop very minimally, but the cord feels nice and sturdy and I'm sure would hold up fine with daily use.

Yes, it's very durable. Contact me at ktucker@cobbtechnologies.com for more details.

As far as I am aware, it handles very well. Very limited noise is transfer when moving about of handling any of the cables. Our company have about 75 of them and no complaints to-date. Thanks!

Pretty durable. I'm not easy on earbuds. I work out with them/play drums with them so they can take a beating. They don't tangle easy that I've experienced. And the switch basically just pauses music. Hope this helps.

Mine has withstood almost 6 years of heavy use with no problems. Probably a weak cable signal, or a bad cable itself.

One year. I had an issue with the power jack and I returned it with in the first year and they repaired it. It's still flimsy but it's just a poor design. You will have to treat it with kid gloves. Definitely not for children.

I had mine for 8 months before it was no good. With use the almost daily use with my laptop, the covering of the cord for the jack began to wear (maybe 2 mm at each end) away at the head of the jack and where it connects to the speaker. With continued use once I noticed this problem it lasted one month before the exposed cord frayed and speaker no longer worked.Beyond this problem I loved the speaker. It was compact and easily portable, held a lond charge and the sound quality was good.

It seems to be very durable. I've not had any issues with my remote/mic but then I'm not too rough with my earphones.

it's quite durable. I carry mine around and use it in cosplay (being a 1:1 scale prop replica as well) and I have dropped it a few times. it's fallen from my pocket and such. and so far I have had a few problems... the casing seems unscratched (by casing I mean the remote itself) although the software seems a bit glitchy (light and sound doesn't turn off after release of button, light doesn't turn on, light and sound have a long delay) after. all in all it still works though. so it will survive a fall out of a shirt pocket, and being shaken (though that's when the glitching starts)

So far they appear to be pretty durable. I have a 12 yr old BOY who is pretty rough in cords and we haven't lost one yet. I like the way the wire is connect to the plug, not at all like it can pull out easily like the others we have had. Hope this helps!!

Its pretty tough. Its taken some abuse and still works fine. The great thing is that its replaceable anyways.

quite durable. it is heavier than it looks though i do not know what the sound quality is like with a mac. i use it with a small television set and it sounds good

I have used it for probably over a year and have not had any problems with it. It appears to be pretty ruggedly constructedand would not expect any problems with it. I would caution you about the antenna though, when extended it is thinner than a toothpick and quite fragile. I have not had any problems with it because I am extremely careful with it.I am generally satisfied with it but If you are considering purchasing there are some other issues. I have reviewed it and the review may still be on line.

I don't have any more than 7 mos. experience with this specific jack, but my previous 3-ton jack was very similar and lasted a little over 4 yrs. and was also made in China. I inherited it from my neighbor used (5 yrs. old) and he regularly serviced 4 cars & a light truck with it. I had heard that China made jacks could be short lived, so having a 2 yr. warranty from a longtime & reputable company like OTC is comforting. I plan to take good care of my jack and anticipate it lasting a long time.
