If you look at other known manufacturer IEMs, you will see it is in USD. It is ungodly expensive but the question goes, it is worth the asking price?

Lots of money for a driver. How old are the headphones?

While this thread is old, it seems as if this is not just an Westone Audio issue but repairs, especially AFTER the warranty period is over are simply not seen as an after warranty service but depending on the construction or assembly of the model, these earphones are simply made with obsolence...

if you get lucky and get them replaced as I did.  Get them and sell them. That is if it is still under warranty. Whatever they might get in the used market for a new warranty replacement might be the same price you might pay for them if you have to pay for them at their "discounted" replacement...

400 euros is not chump change for a pair of IEM.  The fact is that after a certain price point, people expect their investment to be repairable at a reasonable cost.  Replacement for 50% of the retail price, I do not know.  No company can maintain their reputation of excellence by offering...

I do not know if questioning a company about their repair policy and costs can be described as drama, in any case, at least the problem at hand was resolved and due to that, everything has gone back to normal.  But, just because something was resolved, it does not mean that the succession of...

While resolution to the $800 driver replacement fee is great, it should not have taken an entire post by someone over here to get a change of policy going for them.  I have always had a fascination for AudeZe headphones since they came to the market a couple of years back and with the report of...

Some week and half worth of developments.    1-Got Windows 8.0 pro disk.  Installed the 64 bit.  It took a little bit but it was done.  It was much faster than Vista.  Everything else is snappier in my same hardware setup.  Downloaded 8.1 from the M store.  It works fine.  Fabulous interface...

Folex, thanks for the answers.  The fact is that I want to upgrade this machine because I want to play some of the more modern games without getting into getting the latest consoles from SONY or Microsoft.  The vista that I originally got with it was absolutely a hog.  Now, even thought the comp...

To all the computer experts right here, I have some questions.  I have a Velocity Micro gaming PC that I spend top $$$ back in 2009 and I believe it is time to upgrade.  It has an Intel® Desktop Board DX58SO as well an I7 2.66 hz chip, 3 GB triple channel DDR3 1600 memory and a more than decent...

Dismantle and take a picture of the assembly.  I cannot tell by the drawing you have.  Can you do a close up of the socket assembly from the other side of the exterior plate where the miniplug is stuck?

That is what I think has happened to the socket.  If this is the case, you must open the speaker.  And see what exactly is hold the plug in place.  There is no easy way to remove it unless you open those two screws up and see what is happening.  It should not be rocket science but even though...

The way I see it, the Miniplug is stick.....it must be able to be rotated if you grab a plier and spin it around.  Do not attempt to force it out.....But look at this picture....   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jack-plug--socket-switch.jpg   As you can see, there is a metal section in...

I would be very careful to attempt to physically pull out the plug. It should not take that much effort for that plug to come out but of you had stripped it bare leaving just the metal piece, it is very possible that the mini plug sock was defective in the unit. Remember that the socket has...

Depending on your budget and if you can get them, my preferred combo that I have bought and put together are the following:     http://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/2-way-speaker-kits/fostex-p800e-diy-kanspea-3-full-range-speaker-kit-pair/   3" Fostex driver that does not give you much bass...
