Review title: Wires exposed.
Product review: I experienced the same defect that M. Camblee and others wrote about. The notched, rubber sheathing that is designed to protect the cable at the point that it enters the earpiece is not sturdy enough. When wound up, the earpiece counter-balances the spoiling apparatus, causing the earpiece to flop around too much. This puts stress on the notched, rubber sheathing near the earpiece. Over time, that sheathing cracked and exposed the wires for the mic. Now, when plugged in, the speaker works, but the mic does not. My friend, who has a version of the earpiece without the spoiling mechanism, i.e., just a plain wire, does not report the same problem.
