Thanks MB that's what I thought - worth a shot. Just worried it might void my warranty? 

Left ear of UM PRO 20's has completely dropped out, any suggestions for fixing would be greatly appreciated. Cleaning did not help. Should I detach cable and reattach or does pulling cable out ruin it? Thanks for any assistance, hate listening to these excellent earphones in mono.     

How did you get them reshelled EA?.

Have loved my Westone 3's for the 13 months I've had them but plastic casing has split in half and I've lost one half so can't glue them back together, so upset :(.

Yes, I'm sure some tiny clamps would be necessary to suffiiciently hold the seal while the glue hardens. Hopefully Westone's supposedly great customer service will rescue them before I butcher them with glue.

Thanks Dobber already done so - yep super glue is a last resort - are there any tradespeople that are experts at using super glue - ie. someone who puts broken things back together - jeweller, watchmaker, candlestick maker?

Thanks Clieos, I'll do a search on UM2 - if it's not too short a querry. Thought about super glue - but am worried about some of it getting in the circuitry.

Did a quick search but couldn't find that this is a common problem. Yesterday without any undue stress placed on them the black casing broke open along the visible dividing line of the case. Was hoping it would just click back together but no such luck. Any suggestions about how I can...

Why is it my left ear that always loses it first, in my progression up in quality sony/koss, bang & olufsen and now my prized ety 6's. Is there a technical reason for this? Is there anyway to fix it and/or stop it from happening? Thanks for any help.

Sorry I realise know that I need to change the filters. I wondered what those supplied tools were for.

Following the recommendation here I purchased a pair of Ety 6's a few months ago and loved them till now. As usual with all my headphones one ear has dropped out, what am I doing WRONG ?? Why does it happen. In truth the left ear still has some sound but only about 15% of the right ear. Can...

I agree I have a pair of the cheaper Ety's in the mail, but still wouldn't mind knowing if you can fix h/phones once they go in one ear. It seems to happen to me all the time with different brands.

I now know I shouldn't have bought these. Bought 2 years ago I have had to replace them 4 times under warranty. Each time one of the sides slowly deteriorates. It's happened again and the warranty has now expired. Can anyone explain why this keeps happening given the price I paid for them. Can...
