E-6000 would work to - but hot glue has the benefit of being easy to undo and rework later.
Hello, I finally got my xears recabled but I don't know what kind of glue to use for the housing...I'm currently using packing tape to hold em together lol. can anyone recommend a kind of glue for putting iem housings together? thanks!
the 25' 28awg cables are perfect btw thank you guys!! (took me like 8 hours to put everything together; I didn't even know it would work but it did! - first time I soldered and repaired a pair of phones lol)
Beautiful kumihimo braid there! Been meaning to do that soon.
Here's my contributions!
"The person Child" - Bi-coloured 24AWG Nucleotide UP-OCC copper terminated with Livewires MCX connectors and a Oyaide Gold-plated 3.5mm right angled plug.
These were for a friend and he's a singer so he wanted something flashy for stage.
"Fair Maiden" - 24AWG Nucleotide UP-OCC copper terminated with universal pins and Oyaide Gold-plated 3.5mm right angled plug. (in picture with Heir Audio 3.A)
"Black Beauty" - 24AWG Nucleotide UP-OCC copper terminated with universal pins and Hirose balanced plug.
Fair Maiden and Black Beauty are going to follow me everywhere!
Here's a link to my review of the Heir Audio 3.A which I'll be updating in a couple days with any noticeable changes in sound resulting from these 2 cables. My other balanced cable is a 5N Silver cable.

That is a beautiful braid, looks like you got it really tight too. Lovely work. What cables did you use? Looks like copper and silver.
I wanted to do a copper / silver hybrid cable, but couldnt find good stranded silver anywhere...
While that braided cable is gorgeous to look at, how manageable is it? How is the flexibility/weight?
