how long does a cable last

it usually takes 8-15 business days

indefinitely if you take care of the iem and not stick it in your pocket every time youre not using it

ok

my upgrade cable has lasted me 8 months and i use them everyday

now let's say i just jam them in my pocket

n00

and tie knots

in the cable

fucking no

get a case

cost a dollar

i have one

i dont use it

well i mean its your money

just a small one that can fit your pockets and they will last forever

but a case is just a small pocket

uh

your pockets have shells?

you got a hard pocket or somerthing

i dont even bother rolling them up, i jam them in the case

i've got a soft case is what i have

it's more a pouch that came with my APIE A1s

is it one of those circular soft cases

those are way harder than a pocket

my case is hard so nothing is messing with the stuff inside

no that's what i'd consider a hard case

whats keeping you from buying a hard one from amazon for a couple bux?

and one is included with the fiios

`a couple bux`

that's what

why would i buy a case that i dont want to use when i could instead dont

so your iems last longer?

and you ultimately save money but not buying cables aand new earphones

i own a soldering iron though

i just solder my shit back together

same

id never do earphones though

or earphone connectors
