I haven't even had them for a long time (a dozen days?) but the cables of my Hotronics are always getting destroyed. They rub against the shell I guess, and I end up with exposed cables and splitting down the middle. I keep adding duct tape to repair them, and it's getting a little ridiculous. They still work, (not that I need them this time of the year) but I don't know how long they'll last with this damage. Anything I can do?
