Hi ppl! I have an iPod Shuffle and since i'm not a big fan of the lanyard i mostly keep it in my pocket. Now... since it is in my pocket while i walk the cord does tend to bend a lot along with my leg while i walk. The white cord next to the jack also got a darker color because of the jeans i wear. Could the cord brake or the copper wires fracture due to stress from the constant bending? It doesn't bend that much really... just as much as my leg does. Also, could the jack be damaged if for example i go up stairs 3 steps at a time? I ask this because with such big steps my leg tends to reach my basin and the jack gets pushed into me. Thanks for the answers

I wouldn't worry about the cable, the stress on the headphone jack may cause issues in time though...
