Yeah, but it's happening more with you than with anyone
else on this newsgroup!
Nonsense....
Notice, "the cable"...

Proved correct once again! 
Yes, he was.
It does help if you buy decent headphones whose maker supports them, so
when the cable fails, you just put a new on on the headset.
Sennheiser professional grade headphones such as the DT-100 series have
*all* parts available as spares, though the cable costs as much a cheap
pair of domestic ones.
I see. So you fall for the Professional Grade BS?
Sennheiser? German? How much do those parts cost? Maybe a cord/cable costs as much as a new pair. Heck, I help with Maintenance of machines at work. A simple 1/4-20 square nut = $11.00 USD!
Maybe Sennheiser sends a service technician along to solder in the new, professional grade cord!!
Headphones come and go. No guarantee parts will be available tomorrow!
Thanks.

p.s. Though I liked your BOSE comment
They call it a waveguide, yet I recall speakers with a folded horn construction!!
