I hope the fail with mine was quality control. The casing itself is very sturdy. I think having the unit out of my laptop without the dragontail/ extender and a long adapter for the hifimans was too much weight/ torsion on the hp jack. Never had that problem with v1. I now use the dragontail / dongle/ extender everytime. Just to eliminate the possibility of a repeat fracture. As I said before , customer service was stellar in dealing with the problem

My 3.5 trrs headphone cable arrived and looks great. I just need my gov2 to ship now

 
Looks nice. I need to track down a 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter. To make matters difficult, LH Labs/HIFIMAN use a different pin-out on TRRS than ALO/A&K, so I can't use a simple generic adapter. Woo! Thankfully a 3.5mm TRRS to 4-pin XLR is easy to come by with the LH Labs pin-out.

I still scratch my head about that design choice...

Where can you find this, and how much?

Several cable makers are able to make them, price depends on materials used. There's a seller on Amazon that has them for $30. Can't speak to the quality, but it's definitely for sale. Anything designed for HIFIMAN balanced jacks will work with the LH Labs 3.5mm as well, same pin-out.

so did everyone get a shipping notice but not post about it?  They said they were going to ship all but 80 units during august and it's the last day of august.  No shipping notice yet for me
