Is the hd 25 cord tough?

Yes, the cord is very tough. The wire inside is made of flexible steel and has a tough solid plastic coating. The wire is molded with left and right channels side-by-side like a lamp cord. It is of medium thickness. It is far thicker than small portable headphones but not as thick as most audiophile headphones. All of the materials in this model are more durable than they look at first. Many people get these and have a first impression that they are light and flimsy looking and feeling. But the materials are very carefully chosen and work to create a very durable set of headphones. My set has been dropped onto cement recently and they didn't suffer any damage at all, not even a scratch. Yes, the cord is very tough.

Yes, the cord is rugged. I've had gotten the cord caught on door handles while walking with them on and no breaks. I swear I love these headphones.

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

I never had a problem with the cord at all. Mine worked for about 3.5 years and it died because I was dropping it constantly on hardwood floor cuz my counter space was limited. It took a beating, but worked great. I love it and I just ordered by second one today!

I don"t know just how tough it really is, but it is solidly built. For the price, if it were damaged you could probably forget it and buy another one. I think it most likely is gonna draw more current than your ATV can provide when transmitting high power.

If I were you I would not invest in it. The cord is fragile and mine would not start after less than 6 months. I think I made the mistake of wrapping the cord around in a loop. They do warm you that the cord must be straight but that is incompatible with normal product use and practicality. I complained and the company never responded.

I did it only once, then thought better of it. The cord's about as thick as your thumb. Don't think it's meant to do it on a regular basis.

I carry this cable in my backpack and have used it (plugged in) about 10 times with no issues so far. I'm driving it through my ipad and it works well. However due to the thinness I'm being very careful with plugging it in by the connector and not doing the usual yank on the cord to pull it out. I also try to not bend it too much.

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

Repairing the cord is very easy. You only need a screwdriver and something to strip the ends of the wires. It's about a five minute operation.

Have not purchased the "Amazon" cord but, yes a too small cord can cause motor damage. Under 25 feet 16 AWG should be okay - that's what I use. Longer cords need to be a larger gauge wire. Follow the information charts that are usually part of the cord packaging and you will be safe.

Hi Tran,I have been bringing this HD to & for office and while traveling I leave it in my bag, I am rather rough with placing down and carrying my bag and as of to date, there are no issue with the function of the HD. My kids did ever took out the HD and dropped it twice on the floor from their baby high chair, well I must said the HD is still surviving. It is definitely a well worth purchase HD. Trust me, you will not regret. I have previously had Iomega HD but the connection joint between the hard disk and cable got loosen and the whole HD just dies off. Can you imagine that! Anyway I would recommend you to get this.

It is not hard to manage the cord. It reminds be of using an upright vacuum cleaner, and not any heavier!

Purchase a 25 ft, 10 or 12 gauge ext cord and you will be fine. Dont plug in any other devices in that socket.

It works, one cord does sound and video. This cord is fragile though, so try not to unplug and plug a bunch of times, unbeatable price for 25 ft though.

Yes, the HD205 is very light weight, and is perfect for iPods or iPhones etc. I would say the only negative is the extra long cord. I found myself needing to wrap the cord because it would get in the way. Other than that, they sound great and fit very snug. So for walking or any type of physical activity, they will not move around as you go.

I have the hd25, non lv, and also had to buy the transmitter. I believe the hd25-lv also needs the transmitter.

So far it's been reliable. I've never pulled the cord beyond the yellow warning stripe. I suspect overextending could cause a problem.

It's LONG, but because it's long doesn't mean it's any less fragile. Meaning the seam areas where cord meets plug needs to be taken cared for. I've had 2 now (in 5 years) and that's always the break down place. (duct tape helps :) )
