Hello the head-fi community

I have been browsing this forum for 2 years now and it has been providing me extremely helpful info on buying audio gear.

and i just registered to post my 1st ever thread.

So here we are:

I have been a happy owner of the Klipsch X5 for 8 months now, up until it has an issue with the cable as i already expected when I first saw it out-of-the-box =(

The sound is unaffected and still awesome but it really irritates me and got on my nerve a lot whenever i try to unplug it.

SO IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME TO RECABLE IT, OR ANY INFO ON FIXING IT AT ALL THAT WOULD BE VERY THANKFUL

PS: I'm from Scotland btw.

I'd say warranty repair but I'm uncertain of Klipsch services there. Give their customer service a call. A bit of glue in the right places might actually work. Recabling would be a final resort if the last 2 options fail.

@Nagasaki_kid

Thanks for the advice, but what i really want is to find someone who could recable it for a reasonable price because i dont want that to happen again.

A classmate of mine has/had the exact same problem. Looks like someone needs to complain to Klipsch about the cable.

You could always try that?

If not, I doubt you need to recable, simply soldering a new plug on would work yea? It's a pretty simple solder job.

It's better to know what you're saying before posting than to go in knowing nothing.

Some people only post when they have a valid question or something worthwhile to contribute; not when the want to show how much of an ass they are.

I found most info i needed using the @search@ button and always tried not to post a new thread. Sometimes I wanted to post replies too but they were kind of unnecessary because my knowledge/budget is limited so it might not have been worthwhile.

Thanks for all replies, however I still wonder if anyone on Head-fi could do a job such as recabling the earphones like the Klipsch X5 since the SQ is excellent - opposed to the durability of the manufactured cable.

Or perhaps its not worth it? As the Klipsch Image earphones are considered Mid-fi range?
