My Shure e2c aka scl2 -- $100 on amazon or so -- have survived 4+ years of daily use, and my storage method is to wind the cord around my hand and toss them in my backpack. The wire is pretty robust. One of the connections to the earbuds finally gave out and my repair bill was $50 with rapid shipping. I assume they'll survive another 4 years so $150 for 8 years is a bargain. Here's a link to their repair prices: http://www.shure.com/idc/groups/primary_content/@americas/documents/webcontent/pdf_en_us_service_fees.pdf http://www.shure.com/idc/groups/primary_content/@americas/do...
