What's the cheapest replacement option for a frayed ER4P/S cable?
Etymotic charges $50 + $9 shipping
Cheapest one I see on ebay is $48
Alternative option is to buy the MMCX rehousing or adapter for $10 and a cheap MMCX cable for $10. Could I just use the P to S cable and use it at 73Ohms?
I have a pair of ER3XR, and really wanted a cable with a mic/remote. Sadly, the etymotic IEMs have a special tab and extended female butt on the mmcx connection. I tried trimming the plastic collar of the male end off an mmcx cable, but I over trimmed and the connection isn't as secure to the IEM. $20 experiment on a Chinese cable so worth it to learn.
Your best bet is to buy any cable you like, a set of etymotic connectors off eBay, and solder/assemble your own etymotic connectors off your choosing. $10 for the special etymotic connectors, $12 on a soldering kit, and the cable of your choice gets you exactly what you want for the same price or less than the lower quality branded etymotic replacement.
