Anyone else having this problem? Anyone know how to fix this?

btw, tape does not work... I need a more permanent solution, and I'm not really considering sending them in if I figure out a good way to fix them.

Shouldn't warranty cover it?

Yes, warranty will cover it.

I don't want this to be a re-ocurring problem though; so is there someone out there that has had this problem, shipped the earphones back for a replacement, got a new pair, and reinforced them? A good answer to that is what I'm looking for.

bump for help?!

Search for X10. This is not a new issue. Also read the posts on the Klipsch sponsor thread.

Hmmm, I am wondering if you painted a thin line of epoxy between the sleeve and the cord, if it would prevent this from happening again.

If you bought it from an authorized dealer, klipsch will exchange it for a new one...if not...try super glue it...

i heard heat-shrink wrap would work too. what if u just tape it? maybe perhaps with some athletic tape so its smooth and soft?

You have to be extra careful with heat-shrink. I tried to fix my splitting Image x10 strain relief with heat-shrinking tube and ended up destroying the wires. Fortunatelly, the Klipsch recognized it as a warranty case and replaced the earphones

ah i see, its just something i heard from other people. personally, ive always taken extra care of my x10's so im glad nothing has happened to them. its been about almost 4 months and nothing has happened to them.

Mine started splitting after 4 months of intermittent use. Very frustrating.

Just send it back to Klipsch

If you try to fix it, it'll just end up looking ghetto, and you don't want a >$300 IEM to look ghetto, right?

yeah yeah, true

I'll just send it back, I heard they started using a different material that doesn't split now.

+ i might heatshrink the new ones to re-inforce them, just in case.
