Normally mmcx is the locking cable!
I dunno how you managed that. I've had mmcx connectors that I can't detach without tools they are so firmly attached!

Shures have a locking mechanism. Unsure where the stress would be, but wear mine sleeping all the time & no bother.
They also sell individual monitors, so if one breaks or get lost you don't have to buy a pair.
Annnd they sell bluetooth adapters you can swap out with the cable.
Campfire audio have bnc cables which have a locking functionality.
Sound wise, I was really impressed with the shure se205s and bought them for the same reason you are asking about. I have had 3 cables replaced under warraranty and one earbud along with it. If they have not changed anything, I would be hesitant to buy another set. The cable failures I had were all at the 3.5mm end not the earbud end and I was very careful about not bending them. I eventually got a short (3"ish) 90 degree adapter cable that I use to keep the main connector from having any chance to pull or bend.
