I have finally decided to sort my trusty E4cs out which have worked perfectly for nearly 15 years without complaint. Unfortunately and not surprisingly the cables are now coming away from the head units which is causing the sound to cut out intermittently. Can anyone recommend someone or...

I have some UM custom IEM's and upgraded my cable to a Beat Audio. It has been fine for a few years but now on the left earpiece the cable has become very loose and keeps coming out of the two prong socket. I imagine this is a very common problem. but I don't want to replace anything if I can...

The agent was an email address on their original website. Everything was done efficiently and quickly but that site now seems to lead you to either a US/UK one. I will go through the UK one which must be Amp City and see if they can give me a contact. Thanks for the tip.

  I've had my UM remolds for three months and they have not been used very much. Last week I noticed that the bass response in the left channel had gone. I checked for wax or dirt, nothing. Replaced the cable. Nothing.   Fortunately I got clear shells so I can see all the wiring...

I've now got them plugged into a Macbook and have checked them with left and right channel. On left only there appears to be no base response at all and still very quiet. Obviously as soon as you start to move the dial towards right the sound immediately comes to life.    I have bought a new...

Update - if you put the headphone jack halfway into the socket of my phone/PC/ipod the channels sound the same, it's only when you push it all the way in does the right channel start to dominate. Does that help anyone. Looks like it might be the lead?

I had my Shure E5c's remolded by UM about 3 months ago and have been very happy with them. Recently however I have been noticing that the right channel is a lot louder than the left. There is still signal coming through the left but less than half the right. At first I thought I might be losing...

They both offer the same service. One in China, one in the USA. UM (china) is approx $70 bucks more than Fisher so I was wondering if that extra money goes somewhere. I have no problem shipping items to China, but if they do the same thing then I'd rather save the $70. Any thoughts - both prices...

I have just had this problem with some E5's. Is it fading or cutting out? Have you look with a loupe to see if there is anything stuck down the pipe? A small piece of plastic was lodged in the tube which was so small I couldn't see it. If it's not that, are the wires all intact? The plastic...

Could you advise on where I can get this done please? Been away from the scene for quite some time now. Thanks

I am guessing that this is a common problem for these IEM's as it has happened to two pairs in 5 years now.   At the place where the 'memory cable' meets the standard cable there is a tear in the plastic protecting the wiring. This has exposed the wires. They worked for a few weeks and I...

An age old question...I am strictly an IEM person but my sister has asked my advice on what to get and she wants proper cans. She doesn't have much cash to flash, but I am in the dark here...what would you guys recommend for less than 100 bucks. I could always go second hand of course. Any...

I saw a long and detailed link here a few weeks back about a guy in china that will take your Shure earbuds and remake them with a custom mold for about $70. I cannot find the link anywhere? Here is the site on Taobao but it's all in Chinese se420¡¢e5c¡¢tf10¸ÄÄ£ REMAKE EARPHONE SHELL...

Thanks for the advice - the left bud has a small bit of something inside which was clogging it up. Pushed it back in and all fine.

Hi there, thanks for the reply - my earphone are the E5c not E500's. Any ideas?

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone could offer me some advice. Firstly I'm a bit of a noob but I joined Head-Fi many years ago and bought some Shure E5's as a result. I have had them for exactly 3 years and they haven't been used that much. They have been very well looked after and stored...

I was wondering if anyone in the UK with more experience in these matters can help me. Shure have just sent me a brand new pair of E5's as a replacement for my old pair. I am thinking of getting a pair of E500's instead, so want to sell the E5's, but I don't know what to sell them for. I am...

Can anyone give me some tips? I have some Shure E5c's which are about 2.5 years old. I did the mod, which took off the memory cable almost immediately but recently the protective sleeve has split on both ears to reveal the wrap around wire. Yesterday I lost sound in one ear where now even the...

Also I forgot to mention - the E3 look a bit silly in your ears - they stick out masses, whereas the E5's are pretty discreet. Tom.

Hello, I live in London, and I would recommend not bothering with the E3's (I had them for about four months) I wouldn't say I have perfect ears as some do on this website, but I like Shure for some reason and I missed out the E3's long term and went straight from the E2's to the E5's...

I bought my E5's in used condition (saved me burning them in) from another Head-Fi member and I absolutely love them. When you pick them up you can automatically feel the rigidity and "toughness" of them. The wiring is twice as thick as what you are probably used to and very durable. I have...

Hello, Firstly, I am very new to this website so am still finding my feet. I have recently bought but not yet received a Apheared 47. The amplifier is powered by two NJR4556 operational amplifiers. The voltage splitting is performed by a TLE2426. I use a 3G Ipod with a pair of Shure...
