Install Gentoo on them.

The cable was probably just shit and/or you made a too tight turn somewhere.

is it possible to make RFI with the tiny levels going thru a headphone cable?

Analogue audio cables were a mistake.

A digital cable would be way better. Just do the digital to analogue conversion in the headphones or speakers

Humorously enough, lightning cable headphones would solve your problem.
Actually no scratch that, the cable would likely just stop working altogether cause muh applel quality
Seriously though, digital audio out + DAC in headphones needs to become a thing.
