I have one pair of Altec Lansing im616 that my cat chewed on, essentially stripping the cable for an inch or two somewhere in the middle. The phones still work, for now, but I'm looking to the future.
I'd like to explore attaching the Altec Lansing's iem's ear pieces to the cable of the buds that came with the iphone, thus creating a decent pair that I can use to answer calls and hopefully use the remote functions on. I'd even consider that with my 716's if it'll turn out ok.
Any thoughts? Has anyone:
1) tried recabling im616's at the earpiece, providing a brand new cable
or
2)tried attaching ANY earpieces to the iphone ibuds to retain their mic/vloume/skip tracks capabilities?
Want to this project at home if possible. Local shops here in Manila don't seem to want to take the risk on such small wires.
