So,
 
I've recently had a bad experience with Handheld Audio from UK. I bought from them a nice clear replacement cable for the UE Triple.fi 10 Pros, but it started to lose contact on the right side, so I sent the cable back. After waiting for 3 (!) weeks for them to send the cable back, what I got was a stock replacement cable with the VI option (included mic for the iPhone - as if I need that!). I was very dissapointed that they automatically sent me that cable without even asking me. So I'm looking at other replacement cables. Two conditions - they have to be rough with over the ear loop and transparent.
 
And suggestions?
 
Thanks,
-J

Over ear loop (ear guide) can be purchased separately, widely available.
 
I am using Null Audio's cable which I like very much, some people are using Dark Lord's cable from eBay, and even Fiio has one too - there are many types available

EDIT: nevermind, they don't ship internationally :frowning2: Any other suggestions?
 
Does anybody know something about this one? It looks rugged and exactly like I want it, but don't know the manufacturer, so...

No matter what you do, don't buy the UE replacement cable(from logitech's store ofcourse). The over the ear loop is formed with a metal rod, and over time the metal will break and cut into the wire. Chrishimself cables are also highly recommended. You should also look at the type of connector you have for the tf10's as they tend to be different.

Is this for Triple.fi's as well? It doesn't say anything anywhere. The costs are pretty high if I take the shipping internationally...

That's the cable I'd go with too. It's the standard two plug connector, it'll fit the triple fis.

Wait! Don't run away yet. As mentioned Dark Lord is very popular silver plated cable here. I would be highly considering it.

Very popular on our boards, many members own this cable and for good reason. It gives excellent bang for buck. If you were to sift through the 500 pages in our TF10 appreciation thread this cable pops up rather often. I have owned one in the past, it's a sure thing.


Dark Lord Baby....Dark Lord. :wink:

I wouldn't wanna have the black version, seeing the seller is the same, I guess this is the similar version in white?

Yes, indeed it is the white version, just the jacks are different, (same silver plated cable) he has some others too, all have top notch build quality. You want something silver plated, brings out more detail and clairty, bass becomes more powerful. For the money sunricky charges, build, durability and sound increase it is a very nice option without breaking your back.

I have exactly this cable. The lack of memory wire may be annoying at first, however, it improved the fit for my Triple Fi 10's overall. Also looks swell.
