Yep, mine started to split yesterday. Almost as if on queue, both pieces in the exact place as the picture QQQ posted. Un-friggin-believable for a $349 pair of IEMs.
Unfortunately I bought mine second hand in VERY much "like new" condition with less than 10 hours listening time on them so I just can't return them to a store under warranty. I can't even sell these POS now because they're busting.
I think if I paid full price at close to $400 with tax included for these things, and they broke like this after a couple weeks of use, I would make that drive to Indiana, tie these to a brick and throw it in a
strategic direction. This is absolutely piss poor build quality on such an expensive piece of audio equipment.
According to "professor thump" it's our
"oils" that make the cables split.
It couldn't possibly be poor build, or inferior rubber. It's
our fault. Funny I've never had any splitting on
any other pair of IEM's I've ever had. Just
look at others with the same problem.
Oils.
Pffftt.
