"Kevlar-reinforced cable..."? does this really make the chord more durable or is it just a marketing thing? Any one with bad experiences? Thanks

Kevlar would make the cable stronger hence more durable. Regardless I lost the right channel after 9 months. Not an impressive lifespan.

No bad experiences. I find the cable sturdy and tangle-resistant. The cord is surely more durable than most other earphones I've had, but then again, I've never had the more "flimsy" ones break. Cord noise is low.

I bought these for my 14 year old son almost a month ago. He is really tough on his headphones, but these are holding up great! They don't tangle up and he says the sound is awesome. I would definitely purchase these again!

Yes.Anything Kevlar is durable and I've had mine about 2 weeks and other than finding the right rubber cups I have no complaints.

Makes it tough to snap the wire . If it gets pulled out of your ear it will not loosen up the wiring from the headphone and brake or loss connection .

I ordered 3 cables iSmooth cables from Amazon. One pooped out in a few months. I contacted iSmooth directly (via email) gave them my Amazon order number and they sent me a replacement no questions asked. The replacement they sent was =way more= rugged than the original cable they sent me and has been going strong ever since. No issues with certification, ever. The other two are just now showing wear and will probably need to be replaced soon (about a year of use)

Yes. And I can say that I use my cable daily and vigorously and it has held up perfectly to the abuse I have put it through for over a year now with no signs of stopping! The only weakness to this cable is the thin plastic shell with the name printed on it at the ens of the cable. Mine cracked and would have fallen off exposing the wires. A quick fix (and something I do with ALL of my charge cables) was to slip a 1" section of shrink tube over the end of the cable. This secured the original cover in place and gave me something extra to pull on when pulling the cable out of the phone, which is where most people ruin their cables in the first place...pulling the cable out of the phone by the cable!

I'm not a climber but I think this particular cord is more for hobbyists making woven jewelry. I'd suggest contacting the seller. I definitely would NOT take a chance on it!

I make my own cables and yes this cable is tough and long lasting. Use heatshrink for added toughness at the ends. I dislike the Shield coverage for these. EWI sells bulk cable with much better shield coverage. I am a fan of GLS though. http://www.audiopile.net/

I don't know but I have a iPod and it's got a brick sized case and it still works. I will also say that this chord will NOT tangle. I've had it for a while and it's never had an issue.

Hi Gali! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) EVERYONE who has experienced a failure or defective cable has indeed received a replacement in honor of our Lifetime Warranty.

Let's hope it does not occur, but if it does you can reach us at this link:

The chord itself is thick and won't snap easily but the piece that makes it connect fell on off mine. It would help to buy an extra chord just in case.

Like others mentioned. This cable is only for charging. I Purchased 2 for 2 vehicles. In the past the slimmer cables would crack and break after long term use. This Cable feels very durable. I have the grey one and it works fine with the S3 and Nexus 7, and Nexus 4. I do not have an S4 to see if there is any difference in performance.

It's plenty durable, but the connections between the two types of chords loses it's ability to hold itself together pretty quickly under normal use. The chord is plenty long if you use USB. But if you prefer using the 3.5 jacks, it's short enough that I constantly disconnect the two cables on accident.

Hello Garrin,We do not make a cable like this, but that is a very good question. I will definitely look into this type of cable as an added alternative option. Thank you for your inquiry, since this is where our strengths come from (good customer ideas).Best regards, Don (Amazon product specialist)

So your lighter is always paired with your paracord. Ever have a lighter in your pocket, go to take it out, and oops! I left it in the car!

Hi DarkHawke, I'm a NYC resident riding the ER-4ps hard (both on the street and when I'm mixing in the studio (yeah, they're that good)) but recently after 2 years of hard use, coiling and so forth the left channel connection is starting to come loose, I've heard this from other people as well, that after a couple of years the connection from the wire to the individual braids begins to sever. That said, they're totally worth every penny even if I had to buy a new pair every year...the money they'll save you on getting hearing aids (I'm looking at all the kids on the subway with apple earbuds at full volume) alone, not to mention fidelity will more than offset the fact that they don't last forever.

Julio, we recently made the decision to NOT include the microUSB/aux-out cable as many customers had reported that they already have audio/music Bluetooth streaming in the cars and don't really need, or even want, a 3.5 mm aux cable solution. However, it appears that we were wrong! Due to a large quantity of emails, phone calls and postings we have decided to put the cable back in as a standard component. The only limitation is that this 9ft cable will be delivered in the 2nd half of March in a separate envelope. This is due to the fact that we have re-engineered the cable to make it even much better! Everyone that has purchased the xProDock for Samsung here on Amazon in the past up through March 31st will receive this cable at no additional cost. Hope this answers your question?

I have been carrying my bikes on this Thule for over three years now and have never had a problem with damage to those cables. Here's a tip that has nothing to do with that question. As an additional guard to falling bikes, I use an additional step by securing my bikes to the raised bar of the Thule with small velco straps.

Cable is quite durable when flexed (though I've only had it a few weeks). The netting surrounding the cable provides better insulation and helps reduce wear, so I guess it'll depend on how bent you need the cable to be for your application.
