After a year and a couple months the cable to my SF5 Pro has started to go out on me. It's shorting out on the left side. I know it's the cable because I switch the drivers and the problem is on the same side of the cable.

I know that in the past people have recommended the Westone ES replacement cables. I haven't visited the portables forum in a long time so I am wondering, is there another cable that I should consider instead of the Westone ES?

Thanks in advance!

I would go for the original new cable. It is very very soft in comparison with the older model. Also, there is no need for modification. I have the old version and a friend of mine just received the new version. It is MUCH better. I think I will buy one, because it is WAY less stiff.

You can recognise it thanks to its straight plug.

Edit: There seems to be a problem with the link: sometimes it points to the old version, sometimes to the new...weird

I just received a replacement cable from earphonesolutions.com (clear) and it is very soft & flexible... it also smells like skunk for the 1st week. My cable has an L connector but the black cable has a straight plug:

Thanks you two. I wouldn't mind the coating being more flexible, but I really don't want a cable with a straight connector. I'll look more into the earphonesolutions one.

In addition to the Westone ES's you mentioned, there are Ultimate ears customs (my favs), There's also Hearyourself.com but as stated above these three would require Modification.

Any B&M stores sell any of these? I'm going on a trip on Friday and I would like to have them by then. I should have ordered awhile ago..
