GR07 MK2 cable starting to fail

[OmarCCX]

I love these IEMs so much, is there somebody out there that works on recabling these?

IMO you should just buy new ones. Recabling is likely going to cost you more than $100 including round shipping and new cable.

Yeah, but how long until they break again? I want a permanent fix.

Hi,
 
This member once had their GR07 recabled.

I can't remember where though a quick PM to the member should get some answers.

Thanks. I just checked and e-mailed BTG Audio about it.

I'm interested if there is any 'permanent fix' for this as well. I really can't find myself buying another GR07 after mine broke just after a year even with light home use. I'm wondering if anyone tried if it was feasible to incorporate hardwired replaceable connectors on the body without changing the sound signature?

after owning them for few days i decided to return them at amazon.. i hear crackling sound and got paranoid about this issue. this is the problem with not detachable cable..
they sound amazing though..

Just got a reply from BTG.

I can work on the GR-07's no problem. I could actually modify them to accept removable cables as well: http://btg-audio.com/webstore.htm#ecwid:category=2609209&mode=product&product=11546437
 
Let me know what type of cable you'd like installed on the headphones or if you want the mod done. Do note you'll need a cable after the mod is completed. I sell cables for around $100, but any westone 2-pin styled cable will work!
 

 
So I'll be sending mine in soon.

You can always do a re-cable yourself, I did mine recently and it went very well:
