When my cable transferred no more music, first I was really upset, but second I tried to do my own cable. It is quite easy. Take the original cable apart with a knife or pliers. Take a replica ipod earphone, take the earphone apart, solder the cable to the original connector, which has been taken out of the original cable. Last but not at least take some hot glue (the one with some shiny parts in it is better, because it is more rigid) make the outerior of the earphone. If you want to be more stylish take some ink and you can make any colour you want. And it's done. My cable is working for me for two month now.

I made quite an effort to find a jack to make an adapter to use the W-1 with my Livewires custom IEM's.  The closest I got was Mouser Electronics 2.35 x .7mm inline jack.

but guess what, they arrived and the inside pin is a bit too big to go into the Sleek barrel cable ends. It needs more like a .5mm pin...TINY. Is there a confirmation that the Nokia jack works? any sources?

 

It is a bit ridiculous to not be able to get this info from Sleek, or anyone else.

 

I will be checking out this unit soon : Wi Audio Stream
