> Same problem with in ear headphones every time (for my phone)
> Plug/cable is defect at some point
> Audio is just played on one ear
> I have to adjust the position of the plug (turning it around) to be able to hear my music on both ears
> movement in my pocket creates the same problem over and over again
Does anyone have a good fix for this?

Get better headphones desu senpai

Mine are 120€+ headphones and I had the same problem with the products of multiple manufacturers.
Get a wireless audio solution. This will always be an issue unless you buy top quality ones regularly each year.

3.5 male to female extension cables. Get a bundle of them.
Then just replace that when the time comes.
PS. The plastic used on more expensive headphones is arguably better, but physics fucks us all in the ass eventually. Nothing stands wear and tear forever ;)

stop pinching your cables.
Ever hear of Bluetooth?

Or alternatively, if you don't like longer cables, run some heatshrink over the plug at a length that minimizes/softens the bending.
Solder a new plug to it. A good one costs about 2-3euro and its 10 minutes of work.

This. Also helps prevent damage to the headphones themselves.
in b4 some audiotard complains of losing warmth and soundstage in the connections

If you're the guardian of the soldering station, yes, maybe. Otherwise I wouldn't recommend it because the wires are usually too thin to handle and tend to be coated so you have to clean them at first. And then... the plugs that are mostly sold are quite bulky and if you don't have a means to heat-seal them the connections will break on day 2.

used to have the same problem it would break every few 2 months.
I then bought some Audio Technica ATH-CKS77BK
Kept them in my pockets for a year without being even a little careful (I had 4 year warranty) I sadly lost them but really the build quality makes all the difference. It's the width of the connector inside that breaks shit brands like Marley or Skullcandy use hair like wire breaks all the fucking time.

It really is about time headphones all come with female connectors and cables are all replacable. This is slowly becoming the norm for expensive stuff, hopefully it will come to less expensive ones too.
Because it angers me to have six or so great and functional headphones that are unusable because of a fucking cable.

true
I changed for m50x feels great to know they don't depend on the cable to work
If you hear static or buzzing sound when twisting it try cleaning the jack with isopropyl alcohol. Worked for my im50
