So I'm on what must be my sixth pair of circumaurals and am starting to get bothered by a trend in all my headphones - every one of them has died by having the audio gradually cut in and out of an earcup until it eventually stops working altogether.
I'm pretty sure it's a connection/wiring issue as they've all had a single connection point to the left earcup, but I don't know how to stop it happening. Some last for years before it sets in, like my ATH A-700s, but some last only 6 months or so, like my JVC HRX500s or whatever they were called.
I think it's an issue with the cord becoming twisted over time, but I am usually pretty vigilant about letting them hang every so often and spin until they reach their untwisted state. Every one of them has come out of my tower around to the left (on the floor) and up over my left shoulder.
Starting to piss me off and looking for a solution that doesn't involve re-cabling with a coiled cord - these Medusas just aren't worth it. It's got to the point where I'm reluctant to splash out on any good ones as I'm afraid of this happening for the fifth or sixth time. Having to jiggle the cable or hold my head a certain way to get the audio to come back in is getting fairly tedious.
