Good bulletproof headphone cable?

[initialsBB]

I need to make a replacement cable for my AKG K240 headphones. I'm constantly running my chair over these things and tearing them up so I want to use something a little thicker than the stock cable.

I guess I can just use mic cable right ? But I was thinking maybe a cloth covered deal like this? Looks kind of fancy. I can't find anything like that on markertek though and I don't know what this kind of cable is called.

Or how about a curly cable like this? Is that a bad idea?

I believe that is "tech-flex" abrasion wrapping. It is like a nylon braid that protects the wire from various things.

Aha, so it's actually something you add on top of the cable of your choice? That makes sense. I see it on Markertek now. Thanks!
