SE530 recable in the UK?

[Mors]

I've finally got hit by the problem too. Cable has gone bad, around the jack somewhere internally, there doesn't seem to be any obvious external cracks.

Seeing as these are 18-24months old and I had them off ebay, I doubt Shure are going to be interested.

Is there anywhere in the UK that does a recable? I emailed NullAudio asking a couple of questions, and they took nearly a week to reply, and the reply didn't answers any of my questions, so I'm very dubious about shipping them over there.

I loved them earphones and it would be a shame to see them go to waste just because of a dodgy cable

Not sure about the recabling but did you buy them new from ebay? Shure UK replaced mine for the same reason, despite buying them from ebay, just give them a call and you may be pleasantly surprised

I've dropped them an email but I'm not holding much hope

18-24months old and no receipt

I sent them an email from here:

Shure - Service Policies

I had no luck through email, they said they would not accept it, but on the phone they were much nicer

I'll give them a call then and see what they say.
I'm still not holding my breath as knowing my luck they are 2yrs and 1day old
It's such a shame that such a great IEM has such a rubbish cable

If it's the jack that's the problem? just replace the jack. Use something half decent though, you can get a nice 3.5mm Swichcraft off e-bay for about £7....

Hmmm, I don't trust myself cutting it off and doing a resolder. I'd bodge it
