Has anyone else had a problem with the cables stiffening?

I have not. I did have a problem with the plastic surrounding the internal cables separating after about 6 months (those were the cheaper ones.) For these particular ones, it's only been 2 months and my volume is starting to go in and out of my left bud and I never play it at full capacity. -(

As of yet I have not had a problem with them, but it hasn't yet been a year.

It might be a bad cable, for some reason mine has that issue sometimes. I have to reposition the cable in order for it to work. It could be something else, but from my experience with this brand, it's just a cheap, finicky cable.

I don't know if it's really stiffer on mine, but it does definitely not go down as far for obvious reasons. How stiff are you talking?

No, the cable is not stiff at all. The flat shape of the cable was a selling point for me since the shape resists tangling and tying into knots.

Mine was a little stiff at first too. Once I got over my fear of breaking the tv, I (alone) was able to figure out how to retract it with out any problems. If it really takes you 2 people to retract it, something might be wrong.

I have noticed this and thought that it was a cable problem- maybe it isn't

I had the same problem . It doesn't slide very well , and has a real snug fit . The way I do it is peel the center piece apart and lay my cables down on the bottom peace and just snap it together. It takes some time , but I will say they work great for me. Good luck.

Hi Jeannina! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) My sincere apologies for missing your question previously! We have been plagued recently with people attempting to counterfeit our cables, due to our very high rating on these. So first of all, did you buy them directly from us or was it a second hand seller on Amazon? If it was second hand, that is likely the reason for the cable failure, they are not ours. Secondly, if you'll send a message to us at the following link along with your Order ID #, we'll of course replace them if they WERE purchased directly from us at The Friendly Swede. Anything else, please let me know here at this link:

Maybe handshacking, may need new updated hdmi cables. Also the hdmi ports get loose from being on the side, had Samsung repair out to look at my ports and to fix them its 600 bucks. I just moved to a new port which pissed me off because I shouldn't have to pay for a bad design

I had the same problem. Check your xlr cables they might not stay in that we'll if they are not high end ones. I had to buy new cables when i first got them.

No, I have not had that happen. I would send them back or exchange them. They are definately worth it. I swear by these after many years of problems.

I have not had that problem with this cable; I have experienced that with other knock-off no name brand cables I bought prior to purchasing this one. I have had this one for 3 or 4 months now with no issues. I hope you find this information helpful!September ~ AlteredAttic.com ;-)

I've had mine for about two years...maybe longer and mine never unstiffened. I love them to death, but the cables are horrible. Note : they still work

I had a something like that happen but only because of a bad connection with my cables and I was trying to do a dual monitor with a lesser resolution. FixING the cables and getting a better second monitor fixed it for me. Hope you didn't just get a bad monitor

I've never had this type of problem with this speaker cable. The only way you should experience this problem is if the wires touch each other or if they are on incorrect terminals. Check the resistance [there shouldn't be any]

No I havent had that problem at all. They are pretty solid and thick, not flimsy at all.

Not sure why this happens. I have not had the issue at all. Maybe a cable winding issue with the specific cable in your set.
