Anyone did a recable for their shures, can show me some pictures or link to how i can open them up.

I recabled my E2c, (same thing basically as e2g) and I just used an exacto knife to pry open the housing. I'll see if I can dig up a picture.

i would like to see too... thanks

Here are the pics:

After prying it open with an exacto knife it should look like this:

I've seen cables go wrong on just about every E2 around me (mine, my dad's, and a couple friends' E2s). For the fortunate, you can claim the warranty on it and they'll send you a new one. All these E2s were bought at Best Buy, so some of them were exchanged for SE110s. My other friend works at Best Buy, so, with his awesome staff discount, he exchanged his E2 for an SE210 with $20 on top.

VolkswagenFox:

How did you reattach the E2s after? Since you've already gone this far, it seems here that you can go further than the Kramer-mod and shave the back end to open up the sound a bit more. It probably wouldn't be as comfortable on your ear, but it'd be interesting nonetheless. Did you keep the old strain relief?

thanks for the pic, but could i know how do you reattach the cover back

Can i request for a shot on the back of the driver where the point are to be soldered with the new wires

 

[zer061zer0]

I thought I should have an update to the progress of the earphones, and here they are recabled with some silver cables and they sounded fantastic right off the soldering iron.

cool. nice job! so how'd you put them back together?
I plan on recabling mine when the cable comes in, which should be in a week or so.

 

[zer061zer0]

I apply small amout of super glue to it, which might not be a good thing if you are unsure abt the cables.

The only thing is that there is gap where the wires enter the phones. my cables are thinner and do not have the strain relieve

 

[gallardo88]

thanks! i'll post mine sometime next week (that is if I don't break em in the process, I'm a noob at recabling)

 

[zer061zer0]

yeah sure looking forward, learning a new thing is always fun and satisfying when you manage to complete it.

Hi, opening the e2c wouldn't affect the sound?

 

[zer061zer0]

No. In fact, for those who find the E2s flat, dull or boring should try to recable them with silver wires.

They simply change my opinion of them after I recabled them with some silver wires.

Hi zero061zer0-

Can you tell us a bit more about your recable job. I'm trying to start mine up, and I have some simple q's:

1) What type of silver wire did you use? silver coated copper, 28 AWG, teflon insulator, clear?

2) Did you make twisted pair for each earpiece, then turn it into a Y-connection (4 -> 3) with a heaver gauge wire?

3) Did you use heat-shrink etc., and if so, was there a preferred heat-shrink for clear wire etc.?

Thanks for your thoughts/help. This type of info is the only thing holding me back from my recable job. Will post complete details of the job if/when I get things completed.

Cheers!
