Amazing sound, unfortunately lacking in build quality

I purchased these for myself as an upgrade to my dated Tin T2s and have been using them for a month now. I love the fit and style of these IEMs. After the recommended burn in time, these sounded way better than by T2s. Pretty much every other review on these say it matches the KXXS wil a little heavier bass, and I can definitely feel much cleaner and deep bass than compared to my previous IEMs. If you are looking for sound quality, these are a great value. However, looking at build quality, I have many concerns. Lets start with the pros. At first, I though the eartips would not hold well because there are no grooves, but the tips are slightly undersized so it holds on very well. The filters also have no groove. They are just forced in, but they have yet to fall out, so i guess that is also a plus. I also like that it uses a 2 pin rather than an mmcx, as it is just way more durable and lasts longer. However, onto the negatives, the cable is pretty bad. The lower braided part is very good, but since the braid continues on past the split, it causes several issues. The braid is a very tight braid, so there is no torsional freedom of the cable past the split. If one ear is twisted just once, it will cause a loop to form and even a permanent kink in the cable (see attached). If the cable is bent just a little too far, the braid will squeeze together on one side and let the inner cable bend through on the other. This is unfixable no matter how hard I tried to push the inner cable back. Also, the paint is starting to chip in the IEM metal shell.

TheNiceHacksSo is this only an issue on some cables? I wonder if the replacement fixes this.

Zhuseugh, those pictures are depressing. I'll cancel my order if they get delayed. I already own starfields, and just wanted a blacked out version with a better cable. I don't like having to treat all of my IEMs like they could fall to pieces after slight mis-handling
