HD-681 Evo BK : Quite ok headphones with one main problem

I bought these headphones mainly for just listening to podcasts, audiobooks and so on. They are quite comfortable to wear, although just a bit too big for lying down. The sound is also ok, but a bit too bassy for me. Of course these are matters of taste, but the main problem I have with them is as follows: The two reasons I bought these headphones were the price and detachable cable. Here's the thing, the jack you plug the cable in dangles from a small bit of wire, so it completely defeated the purpose for the detachable. The headphones broke after about 6 months of use. After that I bought Fun Generation HP-7 headphones and although even cheaper they have served the purpose described above for almost two years.
