Thanks for the reply. Must admit, the mic comes in handy when the phone rings. Looking around, it doesn't appear that anyone makes the cable with the mic? In which case, I'll do as you suggest.

Hello, I just lost signal in the left channel on my UE triple fi 10vi on the train home, it looks like the cable is fraying just the other side of the jack (not bad i guess, looks like I bought them in Dec '09).   1. Is it simple to fix the cable? reading on amazon, people seem to be...

I know this has been discussed a lot, but the info is kinda scattered... The original pads on my SR60s are rotted out (I've had them for years). From reading around, it seems the choices are: Replace with same. Replace with bowls, found on higher grade models. Replace with Sennheiser...
