Well, basically the left earbud on my e2cs is 95% dead. My right one, however, is not. I can get sound to come out of the left one if I pinch the cable at a certain spot and move it around right near the bud. I read this thread but I don't think it will help out too much:

So, has anyone else rewired their e2cs? I've had these for a couple years, but I just wanted to experiment with them since I don't really use them anymore. I tried searching google and head-fi for anything, but really didn't come up with much.


Thanks a lot for any help!

Ah, lucky, haha. My E2s lasted a decent time will a lot of abuse, so I'm lucky to have them last as long as they did.

hm.. i cant find mine

My left is 99% dead, and I was just thinking the same thing: what's inside, and can I handle it? The break on mine appears to be right at the earpiece, more or less. The link provided is for a break farther down the line than mine.

I am having the same problem actually where the sound goes out except when pinching the wires in a certain place (for me, this is pushing the wiring up against the bud itself). I believe this is a sign of a wire short, not a problem with the actual internals of the bud itself. I will be sending them into Shure once I find my purchase papers. There are really no screws on these things so I am a little bit wary about taking them apart and redoing the wiring. They are probably fastened with some sort of special glue not available to consumers.

From tidbits of other threads, its my understanding that rewiring these would be a tough (near impossible) job, and really not worth it for such a cheap set of phones.

Well I'll probably dissect them anyway because they're practically worthless now.

No warranty?

I tried dissecting mine, big mistake. Never seemed to get it back together in one piece. Guess it's time to upgrade for you.

Thanks man, awesome. Surprise I didn't find your post. Didn't think about 'recable' just 'rewire'

But yeah, I don't have a warranty. I have some V-Moda Vibes for the time being!
