Hi all,
I am looking for suggestions for a material to use as a protective sleeve for my IEMs. I use MEElectonics A151K, (mainly podcasts or audiobooks) for their noise isolation while working outside with loud equipment (mowers, chainsaws, etc..) or indoors with power tools (table saw, sanders, etc). As you can guess, I am very hard on my IEMs, and often end up with failed or damaged cabling, especially below the split. Given the short life, especially the cabling, I try not to spend a bunch for highest-end IEMs, as they get replaced every year or so and the less than ideal listening enviroment. For serious listening, I strap on my ATH-M50s and FioO amp. I want to add protection and durability to this lower section of cabling. I hope to find some type of braided material that can slip over this section of cabling and securely attach to the "Y" and the plug. However, I am having a tough time finding such a material. Can someone help with this? Or is there some other material that excels for this purpose? Other DIY improvements or replacements preferred?
Thanks to the genius and wisdom of HeadFi nation.
