Yeah don't replace the jack, replace the entire cable. Whatever jack you are going to find it is going to be huge and bulky in comparison to the original and much too big for a mobile device, if that's your intended usage. I have replaced my er6 cable at least a half dozen times, sometimes even...

If money no object and off-the-shelf IEM?

Just by looking at the HUGE cable junction these would be off my radar, and the reviews are BRUTAL.

Wow, already at $132. There must be *something* on this vintage that he really wants.

If they give u money back, take THAT option.

Why say "limit?" Why not say they try to make products that appeal to people who have difference spending$ points? Why do u seem to assume companies always want to make the "best" product possible, if the consumer is not able to afford it?

Aha! I have the exact requirement, soft and low-profile. I too had an er6 pouch but after losing it, I went into Best Buys looking for one, and merde! they only sell like mini-backpacks, maybe thinking if they give u more, ur compelled to pay for it! Except, I DON'T WANT MORE! Bingo, saw...

Best synthesizer u ever heard, bright to the point of harsh, no soundstage, super-fast decay which may contribute to the no-soundstage. Stiff cable. This is only an OPINION.

Ety sells these HUGE tips, as thick as a cigar... for mutants no doubt.

Since u been listening for 50 years, u MUST know what YOU LIKE. Technical has nothing to do with it. As u stated, there are lots of subjective measures (and valid for that user), but (back to paragraph#1), that's one area of criteria u must have an abundance of. The only thing "objective"...

Can u narrow it down for us for what phones? They are not universal u know.

If this really works and one is able to "tweak it," then the advantage of customs is lessen and relegated to comfort issues only.

Super/low resistance = will cause amp, not designed to drive low resistance loads, to overwork/overheat/fail. No resistor = a external resistor limits current delivered to the driver. If your amp is powerful enuff, it "can" burn the drivers. As mentioned, u can build the resistors right...

U can put in a replacement jack from Radio Shack but is isn't mini at all, in fact gargantually huge by comparison. So to kill 2 birds with 1 stone, just find an old phones laying around, cut the entire cable including the plug and solder it on the er6i. I use iPod stocks myself, cheap@eBay, my...

I believe the old filters are designed to never be use again, so break at will. To avoid crap going down the shaft, just hold it nose down during operation.

Got a buddy in a hospital that will let u use the CAT scan machine?

I can still tell. Guess sum of us ears are finer tuned (requires less brain cpu to discern).
