That's also even more true with Micro USB A/B cables, where the prices difference is even greater.

The wires breaking were the reason all my previous straight-in-plug earbuds failed--with the Sans Clips having the jack on the side, the bending eventually did in the wires.
I considered getting a Skullcandy model--what I had before the Sennheisers--but the price was $30 (I'd won my set in a contest), and I didn't want to pay that much. I may yet talk myself into them, though--sound was good, and they were very comfortable.
I've never had any trouble with USB cables. I don't believe I've ever had to replace any that came with a device.
