I can offer my experience with recabling my Thunderpants. After about a year of having the mighty TP1s the cable where it comes out the left ear speaker started to break. You could see bare copper. This really annoyed me that within a little over a year and the headphones started to fall apart. I could have done the recabling myself, but decided to send them off to Brian at BTG audio for two reasons -- 1) Yes, the cables are glued in and have to be drilled out. 2) I figured BTG could deal with the mod because he does this day in day out with a whole slew of different headphones. When done, he mentioned that it was a little difficult to do because they were glued in. The end result was fantastic for what he was working with. He offers a bunch of options and can pretty much do anything you need in terms of balanced/unbalanced etc. Here's his site: http://btg-audio.webs.com/ Under normal circumstances I would have left smeggy's cable because I don't believe in boutique snake oil cables.
