I would love some tips on how to make headphones connected to my phone last longer while listening to music.

The basic issue is that every time I purchase headphones (tried both cheap and expensive ones), within 3-4 months, the sound from either the left of right ear piece starts to break. It usually is fixed by toggling the jack in the mic port. When not in use and out and about, I usually have the headphones wrapped around my phone and in my jeans pocket.

I assume it is because part of the wiring in the jack becomes lose as it is fixed by moving it around. However as time progresses it becomes much worse to the point where that does not work and off I go to purchase another headphones!

Any tips on how to stop this from happening. I would love to have a pair that lasts longer then 6 months!
