Well, as is often the case, just a week or so after the warranty period expired, my E2s stopped working properly--cable issue, again. My first pair were replaced by Shure a few months back after the left earbud cut out due to a break or something in the cable. I'm not hard on these things, I swear, but this is the second pair I've owned where the cable has wore down (inside) and eventually severed the connection to the bud for good.
So, has anyone recabled the Shure E2s, and come through it successfully?
I tried searching, but it didn't turn up anything obvious and the board removed the 'E2' bit from the search due to something or another, so that wasn't much help!
A E2 recable seems like it might be a tedious job, but instead of buying a new pair and then waiting in anticipation until the cable gives out yet again, I'm thinking of taking the first step, buying the goddam iron and DMM and just going for it. Sounds like a fun way to get an intro to electronics and would definitely save me from buying another E2!
...hmmmm, then perhaps a few custom cables...? then what....
