Any other suggestions if I don't want to do any mods?

It's not tough to do.

Just a matter of changing the filters.

Regular maintenance on an Ety.

PS The filters keep your IEM Drivers clean... Gotta luv Etys thinking.

Are there instructions to lay people around here for something like that?

About the Filters

Etymotic Earphones have special filters that smooth the frequency response and prevent earwax from entering the earphones. A filter is located at the end of the earphone and is visible when the eartip is removed. If a filter becomes clogged, it should be replaced. A dirty filter will reduce earphone output. A filter should be changed if the loudness decreases or the sound quality declines. 

Note: Filters are not reusable.

Removal Note: Use the tool to remove the filter. 1. Remove eartip. 2. Insert tool into the filter. 3. Remove filter and discard.

Replacement Note: Do not use the tool to replace the filter. 4. Insert a new filter and press     gently against a hard surface     to secure it in place. 5. Re-attach eartip.

 
Hope it helps, Jim

I had similar problem recently. My in ear Altec lansing Muzx Extra`s wire broke at right ear. I had to throw it away. It was 50 bucks, nevertheless i was used to it`s bassy sound. Manufacturers have already found good solution: detachable cables for expansive in ears. 
Other than that, Monster did also superb job in making Turbine Copper and Gold in ear. Their wires are very reliable.
