I wonder if someone here on Head-Fi does custom IEM cable replacements at a reasonable price.

stiffening cable, falling eartips, risk of broken cables and tons of issues....but I do not care, will manage it somehow. Wear over ear, send them for replacement, somehow manage it, this SQ is worth all the trouble. if one of the stock tips works, then your are set.
only hoping Sennheiser next release will have same SQ and zero issues.
Very true about the sound but everyone has to draw their own line in the sand. I'm getting close and will possibly sell the next replacement and move on.

What are you thinking of moving on to?
good question, most likely bulky Shure one's. I like IE-800 because they are sound great and stock tips works for me, so just pop in and you are just entered an auditorium
Thats what I love about the IE800s as well; The auditorium. Have you tried the SE846s? Are they a viable alternative to that?

The SE846 is much smaller in width and height than the IE800, but the depth of sound might be better.
I actually got the IE800's after the SE846 and was startled to discover the IE800 sounded better to my ears.

I originally settled for the IE800 because I couldn't justify the cost of the SE846. I also already own the SE535 and question whether there is enough of a difference to warrant the SE846 upgrade. Now that my ears are a little more discerning, I seem to prefer the dynamic sound as opposed to multiple BAs'. Dynamics, like the IE800, seem to sound more cohesive. The short answer for what I would move onto, I don't know. Compared to other members here, I definitely feel like a lightweight, as far as how many Cans and IEMs I own. Still, I question my sanity for how much I've spent. If the IE800s go, I may just lay low for awhile and just enjoy what I already own, until the next big thing arrives.
There are never experienced a problem for 2 years.
I wonder, is it not possible to change the cable yourself? Is it possible to open housing?
Being in the 'minority' myself, with a stiff, and split cable made me fed up enough to get the 846, and for me personally, glad I did...I've said this before, the people with problems seem to be in the minority but being in the minority sucks!

Not only is isolation better but one thing that I didn't know annoyed me until I switched, the stiff (and SHORT) cable of the IE800 means that getting an effective, consistent seal whilst out on the road is all but impossible...
It is a shame, you can read back on all my IE800 posts from the past 12 months and they'll all be complimentary, but - not anymore
