[Elecraft] Headphones and extension cable - leave plugged in?

[Barry]

With my K3, I use the 3.5mm headphone jack on the back and toggle speaker on
/off with a macro programmed into PF1.

As my headphones have a relatively short cable, I use a 6 ft extension
cable.  Recently, the connection between the extension cable and the
headphones become intermittent, so I replaced the cable.

My question - is it better to unplug the headphones from the extension cable
when not in use, as maybe the spring tension inside the female end of the
cable is weakening.  Or, would repeatedly plugging/unplugging it cause more
fatigue in the connection over time?
