I bought some new headphones recently and decided to take a few preemptive measures to prevent shorts. First taped the wires on each end of the volume controller together so that when tugged it would pull on the wire itself and not on any soldered connections. Then, Where the cord enters the headset I made a loose loop and superglued about 8 inches of the cord to the headset so any jerks would tear away from the superglue but not pull on the soldered part inside the headphones. I haven't had the headset long enough to really tell if it's going to prevent damage but I think it'll help.
