Hi,
So I've been trying to figure this problem out for days now and with no solution in sight, I figure I'll try and ask the community here and see if you guys can offer any good solutions.
As much as I love the idea of listening to amazing music with amazing clarity, I can't carry too many gadgets with me during my day to day activities. Therefore I am limited to an Apple iPhone 4 & an earphone. I use the earphones to listen to music, podcasts, audiobooks & make & receive calls while on the go. In a given day, I spend about 2 - 2 & 1/2 hours plugged into my iPhone via the earphones.
I *need* the mic for the phone calls. I recently got the TripleFi 10, and hated having to hold the up to my face for the mic to pickup my voice. (Yeah I could remove the headphones and talk normally but the stock cable has so much memory effect & so many kinks, that once it's in, I keep them in until I need to take them off.) To fix this issue, I ordered the 10vi cable from Logitech, which arrived today and it fixed my problem, much better wire, no crazy memorized kinks, and easier to adjust while on.
I use the mic to control the music, click to play/pause music, double click to skip a song, triple click to rewind, press & hold for voice control. (If you have the 4S, then that'll work for Siri too).
I love the volume control buttons on the stock iPhone headset & my Etymotic HF3 w/ custom ACS Tips. It's great for raising and lowering volume for music, books, podcasts, and even calls. Too bad the 10vi cable doesn't have that feature.
I live in NYC, and hate flashing my iPhone on the subway, especially late at night, so having the ability to control the music via the mic remote is priceless.
So my dilemma is as follows: I want to remold the TF10s into custom IEMs. But I need a cable with mic & volume control for all the ease of use it provides. Sadly as far as I can tell, there's no reasonably priced cable to fit the criteria.
Can Fischer/Kozee/etc figure out a way to make either Sennheiser's IE8i or Shure's cbl-m+-k to plug into the reshelled TF10? Or do you have any other suggestions? Worst case I'll ask them to leave the stock TF10 ports in, so I can use the 10vi cable. Not ideal but better than nothing.
tl/dr Need an iPhone compatible cable with mic & volume control to work a remolded TF10. Suggestions?
