Cable Recommendation for Arya Stealth? Previous Keeps Breaking

Hello!

I have been the proud owner of my Arya Stealth headphones for about a year and a half now and I love these headphones! However, I never used the stock cable that it came with because it was super short and from the internet I gathered that they are generally a mismatch in quality compared to the actual headphones. So when I first got them, I went ahead and bought the Amazon listing titled "6N OCC Copper Silver Plated Upgrade Audio Cable 3.5mm Male and 6.35mm Adapter Compatible with Hifiman Sundara, Ananda, Arya, HE400SE, HE4XX, HE-400i Headphone (2 x 3.5mm Version)" from the brand "NEW NEOMUSICIA" (I don't know if I am allowed to post the Amazon link).

I thought they looked pretty good and I saw mixed feedback on how much you actually need to spend on cables, and 30 bucks seemed like a good spot to land. From owning them, I thought the headphones sounded great, but I am not a pro, so I just have been assuming there hasn't been an issue with the sound. However, the lifespan on these have not been great, as I have now gone through 2 of these, and both times, the right wire to the right headphone channel has become finicky / stopped working. I initially thought it was my cat occasionally jumping on me and pawing the cord, which is still possible, but it has now happened twice. I can tape it upwards against the outside of the headphone cup but its only a temporary fix. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a quality cable that I can get and won't have to worry about replacing that also isn't egregiously expensive?

My Setup:

Arya Stealth
