Just a note that the non-ConX EA cables might not work well. I only have the EA Grandioso in MMCX and although it fit my IE600/IE900, the connection was not really secure. I recently picked up this GuCraftsman cable (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08S2Z82Z9?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) and it snaps in securely. I've been using a GuCraftsman IPX cable on my UE Live for some time as well without any issues. I won't comment on any sonic changes as my main reason for picking up these cables are due to the limited availability of 4.4mm cables in IPX & Sennheiser MMCX terminations.
Looking at the GuCraftsman cable and it looks like the right type of design for the IE900. My other aftermarket MMCX cables have the "shoulder" of the connector recessed into a housing, most of which aren't easy to modify or cut around. The price looks decent enough to give it a shot.
I wonder if the memory wire with the stock cable has also gotten better for you too. I was initially disappointed since they didn't seem to relax on my ears and I started thinking about buying an aftermarket cable like you.
With the Comply tips and some time, they seemed to improve though you'll never be able to get around the tacky sleeves. They are one of my most tangle-free cables though which makes using the IE900 for daily on-and-off wear feel like much less of a chore.
I have been comparing the IE600 to the IE900 on my Instagram site, I much preferred the 900 to be honest, the Lavricable Master Line upgrade cable removed the awful microphonics from the stock cables. Check out my Insta site, its just a hobby for me so go easy

Both the 900 and the Lavricables are up for sale now on Ebay if anyone is looking for a pair, only used for review. Paying for the next headphone to review, Nuemann NDH20 in black mmmmmmmm

Actually decided to keep the IE900's after comparing them to the Flare Audio Pro's. Which definitely hit way above their price point, going toe to toe with the Senns in some respects for a £1k difference!!. But the Senns carry it with regards to pin point clarity, however the Flare's have a beautifully balanced sound that is addictive and moorish
How much does it cost to replace the connectors on IE 900 IEM. PLASTIC HOUSING NEAR CONNECTOR of Left side IEM was some how broken.
sonically all good.
Its still in warranty, Reached sennheiser INDIA service support. They said it will not covered under warranty.
I dont see any positive suppport from SENNHEISER INDIA. Awaiting for a their response for the plastic replacement.
Atleast they didnt even bother to comeup with alternative solutions for a resolution that I can replace it at my personal expenses. I myself has asked for the alternatives and how much you charge for replacing the plastic housing near the connector.
sonova is providing after sales support in india which I feel it is pathetic and probably should refrain from buying sennheiser products and atleast if it is going to be used india.
Don’t do that, I assume you are joking, possibly voiding any warranty just to use a different cable seems a bit extreme. I wonder myself if the broken plastic is related to aftermarket cable usage.
If you really don’t like the Sennheiser cable that much sell the whole lot and get an IEM that you can easily swap the cable.

I wouldn’t void the warranty on such an expensive item. Heck, I can’t even bring myself to cut the collars off my IE 300 even though I have 2 pairs that I got for $100 each.
The right earpiece started giving out on me last night after two years. I treat them well, don't fall asleep with them in my ears - always in the case when not in use etc. etc....anyways. Still (just barely) under warranty.
I got an RMA from Sennheiser. Should I just send the faulty earpiece back to Sennheiser or the original packaging etc?

I’ve done 2 warranty claims so far and I always just send the IEMs and the cable. They usually send back a brand new set or refurbished set, so you’ll probably get an extra case and extra accessories
