What are some of the best places to get long term quality balanced Headphone cables with Dual 2.5mm Connector Custom Length - Custom Jack 4-Pin XLR Balanced for the headphone amp under 90$ that don’t wear so easy from normal use ? I’ve had two different sets, one from periaptcables.com and one from hartaudiocables.com
but both have since failed in exactly the same way, both had the socket and sleeve connection right.
Where the left cable meets the jack plug for the left earphone input goes tore free (on the periaptcable )(on the right for the hartaudiocable )
this seems like a weak point on both that may have to do with the quality of the materiel or design iv even thought had either had some
heatshrink tubing with adhesive around this area like speaker wires in a ht room they probability would have lasted longer.
So are ther any places to get long term quality balanced Headphone cables with Dual 2.5mm that dont suffer from this issue,
or could i just reorder an add my own thick heatshrink tubing with adhesive ? I’ve got a heat gun to do this with.
Also, would the heat from a heatgun damage the internal wiring of the headphone cable ?
