Hey guys. I have had my pair of Hifiman RE0's for a little over two years now. I have used them 4-5 days a week since they arrived at my doorstep and their sound has only gotten better over time...until yesterday.
I was at work and my left IEM began cutting out. The sound would decrease in volume and come back. Then it would cut out completely and come back. If I played with the IEM or toyed with the cord, it would stay at full volume for a while. That is until it cut out completely.
So...and ideas as to what went wrong? I have never dropped them, I keep them in a JBud's Samba case. They are always with me, never in a cold car or anything. I am literally the only person who has listened to them. A couple times, my iPod has fallen off my lap onto the floor and they were pulled out of my ears. Other than that, these are a prize possession and I take good care of them.
What can/should I do? Try to have them repaired? Buy a new set of IEM's? Buy new RE0's?
If you want to suggest new IEM's I listen to everything (classic rock, rock, metal, screamo, alternative, classical, acoustic, RnB, rap, country). That is why I chose the RE0's - because of their balance and ability to span the music spectrum. My limit would be less then $100.
So...HELP!
