Hey guys
My friend had some old Shure SE102s he broke a while back so he gave em to me and said "If you can fix em you can keep em".
Hey, free hundred dollar headphones.
I've repaired headphones before but these ones are broken differently. The wire is broken right where it meets the earpiece so I cant just splice a new wire.
I want to open the earpiece and solder on a whole new cord because that would fix the problem
And also the headphones plug doesn't fit in my ipod's case so using an entirely different cord would fix that problems.
I was able to open the IEMs but because of the way the rubber coating has been pulled out of the ribbed protector part, I cant pull the wires through...
Hard to explain, here's some use of my epic photoshop skills to explain.
Normal headphones:

Red is the actual wire.
So, I can't pull the black cord through the ribbed part that the actual red wire goes through for easy unsoldering. Even assuming I can unsolder the current cord, Will I be able to fit another cord in through that ribbed protector part? Its a very small cord, just big enough for the current cord.
Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks in advance, Head-Fi newbie
