My Maximo iems fell apart on me this night. I was pulling out one of the sides out, and half of it came out, with the driver and foam tips still in the ear.

Uh, ok. So what iem is NOT made that cheap? Without killing my wallet.

Some of the model has life warranty and you might want to check.

One problem is I can't tell what model it is..

 

It was one of those Woot! models that were sold some couple of years ago..

I'm willing to bet it was the HS3.

No, it actually looks like the im490, but with black tips like the im490s...  (it came with a bag, 3 different tips, and an extension cord, but not the bag i see on their site, looks entirely different.

I'd contact Maximo Customer Support just in case, but I don't think they can do anything since sites like Woot! aren't normally supported retailers of the product (thus you get no warranty).  It's still worth a shot at CS though.

They told me I can get the warranty with them.

 

I sent the RMA form, and now a lot of time has passed with no response.  Sending another email.

 

I hope they follow through.

Well, got an email back, I need to wait now 3-4 weeks..

 

That means 3-4 weeks of no mobile music.

Speakers, get a pair of cheapos for a little while, etc.  Good thing they are honoring your warranty.  Altec Lansing didn't honor mine when I inquired about a broken driver (I bought off of the same site :p)

I honestly don't have any money right now to spend.  The player I use, a GP2X Caanoo has built in speakers, but that's about it.

This wait is going to suck..

 

I thought about using iPod headphones, but then when using them, realized just how bassless they really are.
