TLRD; has anyone replaced the cables on IEM's?
 
So I loved my SoundMagic E10's. £35 when I first got them and done me very well.
 
They met with an incident with my GF's hamster whom chewed through the thin cable. 
At the time I resisted the urge to kill the thing and instead focused my energy on fixing.
 
I managed to use a perf board to break out the tiny cables and solder both ends on. I used silver solder but wasn't expecting amazing results. It did however do a pretty good job. But it did leave an unsightly lump which I ultimately encased in epoxy to seal and protect. 
 
That patch has finally broken and given way, and another nick towards the bud itself has appeared. The inner cable is super thin and hard to work with.
 
So I'm left here wondering, anyone ever torn down the E10's or other IEM's to replace cables completely  As I think replacing the whole cable and plug is in order and I have no other reason to give up on them.
 
I just can't see quite how one might open the tiny housing.
 
Thanks in Advance.
