Do they fail frequently?

I'd bet that many (most?) people would plug their headphones into the adapter and leave it until the headphones or adapter failed.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not for Apple or the adapter, but I'm not convinced by the adapter hate either. I do wish I could find Bluetooth devices that didn't suck, though.

Do cheap, tiny copper cables fail frequently?

How long have you been sampling the electronics market?, heh

Haha, I might be unreasonably amused by your rephrasing of the question.

The adapters (cheap, tiny copper cables) seem as sturdy or sturdier than many of the cables attached to headphones and ear buds (also cheap, tiny copper cables).

So maybe the question should have been "do they fail more frequently than the cables would themselves?"
