Hello Head-Fi,
Today I started listening to my Sennheiser IE8s and I noticed that the right channel sounded much too quiet. After checking to make sure that they were properly inserted into my ears, I realized that the right channel seems to have lost almost all its volume, although there is still a small amount. The connection between the cable and the plastic housing right the headphone itself seems slightly crooked compared to the left headphone's connection (I will post a picture soon). My guess is that the connection was somehow damaged and that I need to replace the cable, although if anyone else has had this experience I would appreciate any suggestions.
In the event that I need to replace the cable, I am unsure as to which cable I should purchase. I was unable to find a stock Sennheiser replacement, but I will be visiting my local Senn dealer tomorrow to see if one can be ordered. I was also thinking about purchasing this cable:

Has anyone ever had any similar issues with the right channel? And could anyone suggest other replacement cables? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
Adam
