    Any UK help for Shure E4c cable repairs?

    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...

    Unique Melody Shure E5c remolds - left channel gone much weaker than right. Thoughts?

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...

    Trusty Shure E5's plastic come away exposing wiring. Is it the end for them?! Please advise

    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...
