A "defeat"?
Did you not like it, or was it faulty?

It is damage no sound at all, I cross checked with my other iem with same cable.
Then I checked cl2 connector, it has no pin inside.
Seller claims it is new other, but the box has amazon warehouse tag...

Be prepared when getting bargain on EBay.,
The good thing is EBay is very good at protecting buyer.

Hey everyone, Last week I was inserting (gently twisting) my CL2s into my ear and the case split and separated enough to scratch my ear, I took a look and sure enough it split where the two halves connect.
I purchased my set from a fellow Head-Fi’er in 2019 and assumed the warranty transferred - It does not. I reached out to RHA and they were polite but not helpful, they told me to go get them repaired at a local shop - I’m not sure who in my area could put a delicate planar IEM back together without damaging the unit.
I really love this set of IEMs in spite of the weird tuning, I find them to be exceptional and impossible to replace at this price point.
Has anyone else experienced this? How were you able to repair them?

That sucks, and shame on RHA by ditching their product like this.
just use simple crazy glue. I had to do it on one side, and it became good as new. I think the mmcx connector is very tight, and if you pull on the cable instead of using fingernails, the pressure on the housing cracks the glue.

No risk of damaging the internals by squirting crazy glue into the shell and clamping? I haven’t changed the cable on mine since I got them, so it wasn’t caused by a cable swap - although I do recall the connector being tight.
Just line the outside edges, and clamp the shell for a bit.
use sparingly.
It works, and is a long term fix.
Get some glue with an applicator brush, makes the whole repair a piece of cake.

I had the same thing happen last summer to one of mine. I just put 3 drops of crazy glue in strategic spots along the edge of the shell where it would not touch the driver, and it has remained solid ever since.
Just got my new (used) 1950s cable and paired it with my CL2... Of course, it sounds phenomenal....
How would you describe the sound? Compared to stock...
Utterly no comparison... Quantum difference
Enjoy it.
That is awesome, one of these days I will have to give the combo a listen myself.
By the way how much did you pay for the used cable?
