Hi,
I had intermittend sound coming from my 3 or 4 year old se846 so i assumed this is because my original shure cable was in a bad shape, so i bought from amazon a third party cable however after receiving it and plugging it the sound was almost completely gone, except if i held the cable and headphone in certain position. I sent them to shure repair shop in Germany and they confirmed its the mmcx connector however Shure apparenty doesnt repair these connectors which seem kinda fragile and instead offered to give a new pair for 700 euros which i refused, as these headphones are good but they are not worth that kind of money. So i got them back, hence my dilema, what can i do with them, is there a repair shop somewhere that can fix these connectors, it seems a pity since the drivers are perfectly working. And if there is no hope of repairing them can they be sold for parts on ebay ? I welcome any suggestions , thank you !
