Another place of a frequent wire fracture is the place of connection with the earphone itself. Due to the severity, natural sagging occurs and the wire breaks. To avoid this problem, put a little glue in the place where the wire comes out of the gadget. Glue to strengthen the joint and the wire will not bend much in different directions.
