The main problem I've had with it is it gets lost--constantly. Now I'm generally disorganized, which probably explains why I cold never find it when I wanted it. I know some people leave it on the cable but my headphones get used much more on other devices than on the iPhone, so I was constantly pulling it off to plug into a mixer or keyboard, and it would get lost. In the end I solved it by junking my XS and getting a used SE.
