Ultimate ears has replaceable cords. a new cord is like $20 or so.
plus I bought a set used on ebay and after a year one of the ear pieces died and ultimate ears replaced them completely for free. these are around $200 ear-buds with woofer and tweeter drivers too. I did tell them I got them used on ebay and even showed them the paypal receipt that I paid about $80 used.

anyway I'm very happy with them.
as people have mentioned you can repair the end on your own if you want. I have also cracked open the earpiece on a Shure ear-bud and re soldered the wires. I've seen people offer custom made headphone cords on ebay too. they look pretty cool.
