OPPO HA-2 Portable Headphone Amplifier/DAC Discussion Thread
I was very interested in acquiring one of these, but was disappointed that it wouldn't work correctly with my iPhone 6 for some reason. The local shop has them in stock, and were gracious enough to let me try 3 different units (1 display, 1 open-box, and one Test unit). We used two...- Ryan1524

Need Help Fixing a cable
My seller contacted him and now all is well. In fact, I am getting an upgrade to SE530. BUT in lieu of a good pair of phones, I stupidly bid on an SE530 on eBay, which I won just a minute ago. Anybody interested? I won it for $326.- Ryan1524

Need Help Fixing a cable
Yes, that's the person I'm dealing with. Hm, he was very insistent that I have a receipt. He's given me the RA number, so all is well now. Maybe Shure is cracking down on warranties.- Ryan1524

$109 for a Shure E4c ??
I talked to my seller (marcopoloca from ebay), and he was kind enough to email Shure Canada for me as proof of purchase. This is a year later, very grateful he did that. Shure made me a RA number, and taking it under warranty.- Ryan1524

Need Help Fixing a cable
Hahah, wow. So there's an actual issue wiht the material. I do notice that the cable on the E4c isn't as flexy as the E3c. The part that broke is a high stress area, it's right where it curves sharply to hide behind my ear. It is one of the most oily place on my head - not that I'm an oily guy...- Ryan1524

$109 for a Shure E4c ??
I got the $109 quote from Shure USA's phone support - a somewhat unpleasant sounding woman. I emailed the entire story to Shure USA (with pictures and a record of my email conversation with the seller - pseudoreceipt). Let's see if they'll help me out. I've only had this pair for exactly a year...- Ryan1524

$109 for a Shure E4c ??
The cable on my Shure E4c split due to the cold. I always had a feeling this might happen, but thought they must have taken this into account and over-engineered the coating. Plus, my E3c never suffered in the cold. But I guess I was wrong. I lost/was never given/threw out my receipt. So...- Ryan1524

Need Help Fixing a cable
I talked to Shure Canada, and they won't help me without a proof of purchase (DOH! I never save my receipts), despite it being less than a year old. I am now sending the same story to Shure USA. Let's see if they treat me any better. If I'm getting a new pair should I get another E4c...- Ryan1524

Need Help Fixing a cable
Thanks for the suggestions. I considered heat shrink, but the only size that would fit over the phone would be too large. If I'm going to cut th cable to get the heat-shrink in, I might as well re-terminate it. But then where /how do I open the phone? It seems glue-sealed. I'm not keen on...- Ryan1524

Need Help Fixing a cable
Hi guys, The cable on my Shure E4c that tucks over my ear snapped in the cold. The copper's fine, and the sound is unchanged. I need your suggestions on how to approach this. Should I strip it, cut it, replace the cable? If so, how do I do it properly? Where do I cut - since that particular...- Ryan1524

my 2 cents on the E4c (upgraded from E3c)
Sorry to resurrect an old thread. But I've just experienced a very similar experience as the original threadstarter. Basically, I lost my E3c on a certain very drunken night. And after attempting to revert back to a cheap pair of Sony studio monitors (friend told me to bite it). i just can't...- Ryan1524

iPod Suffle - Hot or Not?
i say yes, cause (copied from another thread by me) i personally wouldn't mind buying this if i were on the market for a flash based MP3 player, mainly cause i'd probly just stuff my entire Top Rated list in there. i have about 200-ish song in it, and if it were on the Shuffle, if it's on...- Ryan1524
