Notice that the wire does not protrude at a right angle but instead comes off on a gentle curve consistent with the tapering end of the earpiece

In other words the wires are not meant to bend at right angle

Having said that although the wires became exposed there is a sort of acrylic transparent resin that seals the wiring so i guess the wires wont come off that easily just because the sheath got pulled out

In the 12 months prior to purchasing my x5s i purchased and trashed 2 pairs of zaggs a pair of bose and a pair of apple earbuds

I thought i was destined to buy a new pair of earbuds once a quarter

Besides their durability im also fivestarring their sound quality although i will admit im no sound engineer

The construction of the rubber earbuds seem to block out ambient noise which i think also aid the overall experience except if someone is trying to ask you if this is the uptown train and all you see are their lips moving
