I get it, but the quality of headphones with cords has gotten so bad that the male jacks wouldn't last more than a few months. My son has gone through an untold number of corded headphones because his school iPad is too locked down to use bluetooth ones.

You can spend a little more and get headphones with a replacable cord, and replace the cords if they get broken. Or maybe take the time to solder new connectors onto broken cords.
