I would strongly recommend going with the cyanoacrylate epoxy. It can be had for less than 5 bucks at a hardware store and is very effective at bonding plastics. The epoxy is great because it comes out clear, literally fuses the plastics together, and you need very little for it to work(you need a fraction of a drop for your job). If youre new with epoxy's, I'd recommend practicing with a few plastics before trying it on your expensive IEM's.
Just be careful not to get any on you it as it will bond your fingers with whatever they touch!
Hint, when applying the epoxy, dab very little on the cable closest to the part that isnt sliding. as you bring the broken strain relief to the epoxy, it will begin scooping up some of the epoxy and help it bond to the fixed side of the strain relief. just be quick; you only have one shot as this stuff will bond almost instantly to anything elastic
Sounds like a good suggestion, Generic super glue is fine?
