Comparing the FiiO RC-MH1 with the stock cable, volume matched listening to the fiio X5/e12 I would say that the Fiio cable sounds more alive and open than the stock cable which sounds dead in comparison.
 
This may well differ from user to user and obviously there is a timelag between cables so it could all be in my mind but i am happy with feel and length and seeming better sound of the FiiO RC-MH1 so it is a keeper

Looks like these cans are coming into my arms soon

  Use fast epoxy my friend, it helped me in even worse case (with same can).
 
...

 
Mh, I've never worked with epoxy. What do you suggest? Trying to "glue" the broken part or creating a mold for a new one? How did your hf look and how did you fix them with epoxy? Any pics?

Sure it looks nasty, but works like a charm
 
Put a glue a little inside the hole and a little on the metallic part, then insert it and hold several minutes. Then you can put it aside, and wait for an hour before you can use them.
No brainer - just a glue, you know. But a really strong one.

works great I'm sure.  Problem solved.  Nice job.  And resale value just went down to about $1.

I wonder if Paul Barton only tuned these cans or also designed the exterior....

 

[Rune1221]

Haha, resale value - yes. I wonder for how much anyone would buy a headphone with broken cap anyway.

Finally our cat ate all the cables that came with these headphones. I have already ordered once new cable from importer and it cost 15 euros($19). I don't even want to know what the version with controller costs. Luckily it does not seem to work that well with Android anyway even with JAYS Headset Control app.
 
What are some decent and cheap cables that fit nicely to these headphones or what are more expensive and more cat bite resistant? I bet they can chew any cables if they have time, but usually they are sneaky mother****ers and get the cable with first bite and then it is already too late. Stronger cables might survive long enough to save them.
 
Edit: Ordered these. I don't know if they are any stronger but the mesh thingy might buy some time if forget cable laying somewhere.

Try monoprice. All their things have lifetime warranty i believe. $3.50 for cables and probably not too expensive shipping.

I am pretty sure warranty does not cover cats destroying cables

BTW I have that cable for my HD7DJ and the mesh is just plastic kind of material. V-Moda cables work too. They are durable. Why don't you store your cables in a drawer when not in use?

They are in drawer. This time I put my headphones down for a second on a table, turned around for a minute and there they both were destroying them. It only takes like a second.

Cats are so funny. Your cats sound evil.

I use the v-moda cables with mine and they've stood up to all sorts of attacks.
