No its really flexable and very durable. I used one everyday for atleast 8months working construction. The cable is twisted with a very soft but durable coating. I have since moved on to the se530 to be honest i miss that cable. A UE owner should really consider buying one.

I've been looking for this for a while and haven't found anything yet. Very frustrating. In the end I had to make my own franken-cable to do the job for me... but I would much prefer a more professional version.

easy solution a fellow head-fier who need not be named on this forum just called ue and said that the cable on her triple fi vi's split and UE sent her a brand new vi cable so I would test your luck and try to do that

i don't know but i feel just fine using the stock cable, a little different than my eb i tested this cable, it does give a little more bass but i really like my triple fi just fine

If I'd rather not do that... what do you think it would cost to have someone do it for me?

Thanks alot for the information. The custom cable really improves the sound and it should be a worthy upgrade.

Head-fi'er Kirby suggested a way to get a vi cable that should have been obvious to me before: ebay. You can hunt for user "mega.toyz" and score one for around $40 bucks. It costs more than deceiving UE but might make you feel better. Even better than that I'm having Germania make me an ass kickin custom cable with an iphone mic and remote.

I'll post with impressions once I get it.

So you are The Guy getting the cable. I've had discussions with Germania and am considering one myself, for my Westone customs.

Maybe Shure's Music Phone Adapter is the solution:
Shure - Music Phone Adapter

Should work for all headphones but can have a negative influence to the sound.

I have the Griffin iPhone adapter, but like the Shure it adds way too much length to the earphone cord that I hardly use it. I ended up with a pair of NE-7M and Phonak Audeo iPhone headsets instead (gave away the Z.bud crap).

Just got the null-audio Lune Silver Cable, plenty more detail out of my iPod. It has L and R written on the cables do those should be tucked inwards towards the housing or outwards? Tucked them inwards like the UE ones, and it sounds ok so i think thats how it should be.

Also where the cable is terminating at the housing is exposed, there is no cover like the UE stock cable. Microphoics have increased significantly.

 

[AudioJUNK]

congrats~ yeah, I wear them with the wording facing inward and I think it meant to be in that way as the earloop should be in backward direction

 

[member1982]

Cool! there are no issues with the sound from what i can hear, so i think it is right. I Got the new Lune silver cable it is very clear and probably neutral. Its kinda weird out of my iPod, sometimes the bass is just not there sometimes its there plenty very quality bass tight... somehow loses some boom compared to the stock.

Yeah it seems couple of albums didnt sound as nice as before. When i had a look at the bitrate it was 192KB/s VBR mp3 thats probably why, i heard alot of the stuff in the spectrum are just missing!. So probably need good source as well, as it could be pretty revealing now.

Just got my Lune cable on my triple.fi's. I got the cable mainly for the style factor and really hoping and expecting no or minimal change in sound quality. I will say that I was wrong about that. To me there is a significant improvement and immediately noticeable improvement in midrange and lower-mids and an improvement in soundstage and imaging. Bass is tighter and punchier. I feel like the overall sound is warmer with Lune. I'm honestly wondering if I like the triple.fi's + Lune better than my Senn 650s (or Ultrasone 750 Pros) with this setup. I'm using Pico DAC / Amp to feed my WA6 (stock) w/ Sophia rectifier. Mids are SOOOO sweet now and the bass is right where it needs to be. I'm going to do some serious A/B'ing of cables but I can say right off the bat there is a very welcome improvement, at least to my ears. Microphonics are very bad but it is not seeming to be a problem when music is playing. More to come...

There is noticable microphonics even wearing them cable over-ear?
