Thanks... It's funny but the only thing I've done differently with this set is I had a long session yesterday with the F8 in the Porta Brace bag which fits a little too snugly IMO. The "arm" of the opening was pushing a bit on the plug. Not sure this could have broken a wire but sort of weird timing... Are those IDK headphones good for dialogue, too? I'm a filmmaker, so that's my primary use...
