Hi,
I have started my first big audio project, to make my own custom in-ear-monitors.
I have bought Shure E500 PTH (older model of se530, actually the same) from ebay with faulty cable for around $80.
I am going to make a custom shell for them and put a detachable cable. Its not going to be easy and maybe the result won't be that good, but i am willing to try.
This guy made a custom in ear monitor with his own BA driver setup!

I wanted to have a more professionally crafted sound and bought shure iem as a signature i like.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So i have been reseaching for a couple of days and still haven't decided what detachable cable connection to use.
After searching Europe and China markets (I am from Europe) i have found only one good site for cables and female socket plugs
http://www.lunashops.com/
From there i have narrowed my search to 3 main sockets :
Westone 2 pin http://www.lunashops.com/goods.php?id=3569
UE 2 pin http://www.lunashops.com/goods.php?id=3562
Shure mmcx (rhodium or gold? ) http://www.lunashops.com/goods.php?id=3560
I know mmcx is the new plug, but also that it has more problems. Here its much cheaper, the male plugs are the same as price.
Any thoughts ?
