I bought my Altec Lansing IM716 headphones a couple years ago and they have gotten pretty run down. THe bottom part of the cable is cracked in many places and needs replacement, the connector itself must be aligned perfectly on the player and cuts in and out. One of my filters got dirty and so I ripped it out without replacement. The Tritips are also worn down and often get stuck in my ears when I pull the headphones out.
I had removed the volume pod earlier and replaced it with a 68ohm resister on each line.
Now I bought a Palm Pre and the included headphones have an inline mic, so I would like to frankenstein them to my IM716s to replace the frayed cable and broken jack, and add a mic at the same time. I am not sure how to go about fixing the other problems though, where do I get replacement tips/filters for them?
Is it even worth it to try and maintain them or are there better IEMs out right now that would cost less than the parts needed?
