Dose the wire last ?

Yes. I have had my set since Nov. 2012. I use my ear buds almost everyday while I'm on my laptop, & they're still just fine. I hope this helps.

Seems to be pretty durable. This is my second pair. I crushed the volume adjuster on the cord with a free weight bar (my fault) but I've had two pair of these for a total of ~ 2 years and I've had no issues with the cords. For perspective I use a average of 6-8 hours a week.

The wire was intact...but the cap covering kept coming off and of course you could see the wires that should have been covered...There is like a cap thing that comes from the plug down to the covering as you see in the picture...when the cap breaks it exposes the wire and you cannot hear the same in both ear plugs...the wires will break if you continue to use...hope you can understand this explanation

These cables are definitely not think. If you take care of them they will last pretty long i believe.I do not think that you can get better sounding in ear headphones for that price, I am still blown away by their performance.

We have used 3 of these over the last year (I lost one pair), and have not had an issue with the wires breaking.

I think it lasts for several years. Try keeping the tube upright during storage.

The wire is insulated; however, the wire is very thin. You can easily replace it with larger insulated wire from home store.

yes. You feed wire to camera through attic, or if exposed run wire in tubing for protection exposed wire can be cut. However the wire will last a while exposed to the elements but not a good idea.

My guess is that the wire covering will crack over time from UV exposure if left bare. Running it through conduit is a possible solution.

Yes. It seems to last a while. Little difficult to light each time but looks nice.

No, and the wireing would probably cone loose in it after a while like mine did.

I have not experienced any problem. It is a thin wire and everything has worked the 3 times I have used the device.

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.

I am just another customer. The literature says something like 3 months. I notice the wire changes it's look and then I change it.

NO,the wire is real easy to clamp back on.After a while you won't need it.My dogsuse it alot .Especially if they want a treat.

Yes it does last.. I am on my 2nd one now. My first one lasted for several years.

I have only owned mine for a couple of months. I have owned several electrics and they all seem to have about a one year lifespan. However this one is the best design I've ever had and also the best performing.

No but it has not been a problem. Unless you are very rough on using it, it should last.

As long as you are using it as it is intended. This wire is "audio cable" and is safe to run in walls and attic (It's running in mine). I am not a professional; however I have run a lot of speaker wire in my life and have never had any type of an issue with safety. This particular wire is a heavy gauge and heavily insulated as well.

nothing lasts forever, sometimes cables give out. esp cheaper ones. time to pony up 3 bucks again and get another.

Yes, it will stop them for awhile. It is better to wrap wires tightly in the spooled wire so they cannot get to them though. The critter ridder lasts only about 15-30 days. The reason they are eating your wires is that they are now insulated in soy versus plastic.
