Hey guys,

Well, something terrible happened; Some time ago, one of my triple.fis fell of the cable and got lost due to the fact that I didn't notice it until I got home again. Looked for it everywhere I've been on that day but it never popped up again.

Bought some new IEMs as a replacement then but they just can't stand their ground against my beloved trips.

Does anyone know if there's a chance to buy a new, single piece from UE? Or any other idea what I maybe could do?
Money's a bit short at the moment so a new pair just isn't something possible for now. :/

Thank you very much for every piece of help, suggestion or compassion (

).


PS: I'm from Austria, so - unfortunately - the UE-support for US won't do any good for me.

Make (perfect DIY project) a miniature chain from the cable to the housing?

That would be awesome. Super+ goth factor as well.

A friend of mine is convinced that his Super Fi 5 cable will last forever so he super glued the cable to them... o.0''

I guess the glue idea isn't such a bad one, find the right type and apply just a little so that it won't "disconnect" even when being pulled.. A type that dissolves with a certain liquid without ruining the cable or the phone itself?

yes you can buy the individual monitor, certainly from a UK website but I've forgotten where right at this moment in time. Let me think and get back to you

edit: hmmmmmmmm maybe I was thinking the sf3's then:

but have a google around, sure you will find something

I have a fear of this happening to me. It has almost happened a couple times. I was contemplating putting some heat shrink (the kind used for wiring) around the junction where the cable and monitors meet but I don't think I will because I am worried about the heat required. I wouldn't be using a heat gun (just a hairdryer) but still. I know this doesn't answer your question, sorry.

Just to let you not feel so alone the same thing happened to me on a plane once when using my Super Fi 5's. I ended up finding the monitor 3 seats behind me. I was really freaking out!
I love the idea of the replaceable cable but the concept does have its drawbacks...

Yikes, this has got me wigging out about this happening to my customs now.

Just be aware and be careful. That's all you can do.
