But on a decent quality XLR, you can re-solder 20 times, drive a truck over, yank on it until the cable snaps, ... and it will still work beautifully ;-). Judg

Judging from some of cables I've seen, that's also the use that most XLR connectors are exposed to.

Same for a humble headphone jack, if we're dealing with one which has been designed with that purpose in mind. Just unscrew the metallic cap, unsolder the cables, solder them again, you're good to go. The XLR's robustness may actually be a problem. When an accident occurs, it's better to just break the 10€ cable than the 1k€ equipment it's connected to.
