I'm gonna make this as less confusing as possible:
This happened to my shure E2cs and my es530s. ***For the sake of argument, read "cable" as the rubber and not the actual wiring.**
So, on a day to day basis, I wear my headphones at least 2 to 4 hours. Over a period of time, the cabling has started breaking. Why? I don't know. It seems as though the cabling just snaps so it exposes the wire within. I didn't really mind with the first pair of E2Cs. They were $80 so it wasn't that bad. Then I bought a second pair. Happened to them too. I thought, maybe its the E2s. So I bought a $500 pair of ES530s from B&H in NYC.
Now, 5 months after buying them, the right headphone is completely ripped where the cable connects to the headphones (i have a piece of tape there to hold it) and the left one's rubber has snapped well revealing the interior cabling.
I really love these headphones but this is really pissing me off. I've dished out so much money on Shure products, and this happens every time.
What are my options?
1. stay and ignore?
2. buy new ones?
3. send in for warranty (will they consider that wear and tear and say no?)
4. get someone to recable them? (suggest me someone)
Thanks!
