Although I don't have problems with my 215s, the swiveling connectors are the stupidest idea. Who the heck would want their cables to swivel around? What geek engineer thought of that design. And, worse, what "bright" product manager fell for the design?
I really wish they would change them to the 2-pin plug design of the Westones. Maybe if we complained, Shure might listen for future prodcut revs. I just complained using the e-mail address below, which is provided on their website:

BTW, you say your connections are weak, do you disconnect the cables regularly, like when putting them away? FWIW, once I noticed the connectors were gold, I immediately taped the cables to the housings with metal tape. Gold is a soft metal and a snap-fit like on the Shures will surely inevitably fail on short order by connecting and disconnecting often.
