Recabling the ATH-EM700?

Looking to buy a ATH-EM700 soon and want to recable them as soon as possible, has this ever been done before though? Some high-res pictures would be great to get things started as well.

If you're lucky, it may just be a matter of taking off the earpads and unscrewing the case. If not, try a hairdryer to warm up the adhesive. If you're unlucky, that adhesive would be epoxy and you'd have to pry it apart, probably cosmetically damaging the case. If you're really the end all, step in dog crap, gets struck by lightning person, the case is probably sealed with plastic solvent which makes it impossible to separate as the two halves are welded/melted together. Try it out. If you do get the case opened, it's just a matter of soldering and strain relief, really, nothing too special or hard.

Thanks, just found a high res picture as well and the case is screwed together, nice!
