Hello,
 
I have a pair of PMX-80's that have the right speaker dead after cutting out for awhile.  The speaker sounded just fine when working which makes me think that it is a cable connection issue.  These are pretty new phones and sounded like the real deal, I bought them through a private vendor/seller off Amazon.  Anyway, if it is economical to re-cable and end up with a more rugged, better sounding set then I will and I am looking for advice on others experience, cable used, guides, other mods to these phones...  I am outside of the three month warranty window from the seller and the cost of just buying a new set of phones is not an issue.  If I can build a more rugged headset with better sound for less money than I can buy is what I am after but is this a good set to do this with?  I can solder and fabricate as needed.  These are used with a Sansa Clip + and are mostly for working out and bike riding. 
 
Thanks,

If there really is a sound benefit from recabling (I leave that up to you) it's not worth it imo for your pair of phones. I would simply open up the phones and solder the wire(s) of the existing cable.

Guess I'll just try to improve the existing connections without replacing the cable.  Thanks for the advice apatN.

It's all about the cost/improvement, so if you could get some cheap cables and you already own the stuff like a soldering iron etc it would be a good idea, but when you start talking about pure silver wires and 20 dollar jacks etc, thats when it gets crazy. But a 10 dollar recable job does make improvement.
