I never really understood the 1/4" jack until I realized that I have owned my headphones with the 1/4" jack for longer than I know my wife, I bought them used, and I've run over the chord with my chair a couple hundred times and still I've never had any issues with the cable. Compared to the 3.5MM cable for the JH4 IEMs that I had to replace 1 year and 6 months after use because the LH earpiece stopped working ($35+$15 shipping, what a ripoff).
