So after a week my UltimateEaras SuperFi.5vi finally broke yesterday, well to be specific the wires in the jack must have completely disconected, as I now hear nothing in either ear unless I jiggle the wire around and then I sometimes hear in the right earphone (it is the earphones not the iPhone, as I tested on other devices). I use them with my iPhone as a ultraportable everyday setup, and the soldering must have some loose with all the wear and tear that comes with carrying the iPhone in poskets and such.
I am told the fix is quite easy, and just requires some soldering skill (which I do not have, lol, I was able to find some people localy that do this kind of rejacking work though). The problem I find myself facing is finding a replacement jack. The UltimateEaras SuperFi.5vi have one of those jacks with audio as well as the mic and controll button, and I just can find a replacement. Ideally I would like an angled jack, like this Neutrik 3.5 mm Tiny Plug (Neutrik - Audio - 3.5 mm Tiny Plug - NTP3RC-B), sadly it does not come in a model that will suit these earphones.
So can anyone please point me in the direction of where I can purchase a good quailty, preferably angled, jack that will fit these iPhone earphones.
Thank you in advance for all your help.
